We need people as healthy as possible so they can resist. Mask up.

I wish more people understood that autism isn't like a medical condition that lies dormant and occasionally activates (which is when you see it). It's there all the time. If you don't see it, it's because we're ACTIVELY working on hiding it (to protect ourselves from mistreatment)

Neurodivergent people are inherently worthy and deserving of care, dignity, and respect, no matter their perceived value to a capitalist dystopia.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker:
Read whatever the hell you want.
I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse.
Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.

Please follow the steps below if you are an immigrant or send it to any immigrant you know. I’m afraid anyone who just looks like an immigrant will be caught up in this process.

One of the hardest classes I took in college was Sociology of Immigration, because we had to look up all these diagrams and all the required forms, and remember what they were. It felt impossible.
And that was kind of the point.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
