And remember, no matter how hard you try, you can't save everyone. Practice withdrawing and prioritizing your own health when you're supporting others in dire circumstances.
There’s been so much loss within the disability community lately … it’s important to remember to be kind to one another.
Take space when you need it.
Rear & unplug.
Wear a mask.
Boost mutual aid.
Practice community care.
We’re in this together.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
