Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

I am really enjoying Welcome to Derry to the point I look forward to it each week.

For Native american Heritage Month normalize not calling Natives resilient* and instead help us tear down the systems that require we continue to remain resilient and nothing else.

Many tribes have archives the admin can access to help research family. There is no excuse in 2025 to claim indigeneity based on blood myths, *especially* the 5 Civs.
Tom King was called out a year ago & got hostile. Why are we only now getting a statement & why didn't it include reparations plans?

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world
And by design LLMs destroy shared context

This is how I have always been spoken to by cis men as a fat non-binary person who was socialized female.
It's not new. It's not shocking.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Folks acting confused that Mamdani would meet with a fascist who was calling for his arrest, deportation, etc. because y'all still think this fight is about individual bad actors and not a system working as-designed.

Mandatory Reporting is an institutional tool of oppression, but when a christofascist government takes action toward declaring all fields of study that lead to MR no longer "professional"... that's a problem.

James Watson was a eugenicist who stole Rosalind Franklin's research to advance his white supremacist views regarding genetic predisposition, blood purity, & biological race (see: "African DNA")
He also promoted the lie that DNA can be accurately read using markers.
May he burn in Hell.
