Speaking of SNAP, a good friend of mine just got denied SNAP because she *hasn't worked enough*.

Do you want to guess why her disability application was rejected? ... It's because she worked *too much*.

Great news, folks!

After months of denying that they were going to cut Medicaid by $880 billion

Republicans have now quelled that rumor

By announcing they’re “only” going to cut $600 billion in benefits

So that way, you know, only 25,500 people will die instead of 34,000

Hands
Off
Our
Medicaid

You know I love a good boycott! 🔥🔥

Next up on the calendar from the People's Union:

❌ AMAZON May 6-12
❌ WALMART May 20-26
❌ TARGET June 3-9

If you can, boycott them FOREVER‼️

Remind them that WE hold the power! If they bend the knee to fascism, they lose us. It's that simple.

SHARE‼️

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

perhaps a drawing doesn't always need to be something extremely innovative, envelope-pushing, technically revolutionary for your art style. perhaps it's enough that it's you.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.

More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

Remember, people are disabled by bad assumptions, design, code, architecture, content, processes, policies, go governance, attitudes and biases, to name a few. So before you say accessibility is done FOR disabilities, recognise it’s our decisions that disable our users.

From the bottom of my heart, I believe that we can be better than this.

(Low bar, I realize, but still.)

We can embrace diversity.
We foster equity.
We can be inclusive.

As a historian, I believe in change.

And as low as I sometimes feel right now, I —WE—are not defeated.

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

Joy is just as important as survival.

The world might be cruel, but that doesn’t mean you should only exist in a state of struggle.

You deserve laughter, comfort, adventure and love.

Seek out things that make you happy, no matter how small.

Last Monday eggs were $2.50 and today they are $6. To those who voted for this, I saw this on TikTok: “I had my Christian sister tell me, "Well it's more about the economy"
So I replied, "So like Judas, you sold us all for 30 pieces of silver". She didn't know what to say after that!"

I refuse to let the next 4 years ruin the time I have here.
I will have joy.
I will laugh.
I will rest.
I will dance.
I will sing.
I will spend time with folks I love.
I will find ways I can help my community.
I will find the beauty.
I will hold on to peace.
I will live.
I will have joy.

Disabled people are consistently asked to do things to "prove" that we "deserve" support.

And the things we are asked to do are always the very things that we need support with.

Like, if I could do those things, I wouldn't need support in the first place.
