Trying to survive with multiple sclerosis while learning to be a leftist takes a lot of reading and video games.

Listen, anyone who thinks that bluesky hasn't been infiltrated or is safe... Let me tell you about my discover feed.
If I post the word disabled or disability or related words, for the next day or so I get served posts by influencers who are promoting "life hacks" and supplements.

When I see, hear, or smell #ableism, I am calling it out.

Repost when I do. Please follow. I want as many people as possible to know that the #disability community is not going to just let it go anymore.

I will not demonize or attack people, I will just make them aware that we need to do better.

I love your podcast. You are informative, well-researched, reflective, you call the left to action. That's why I am confident in contacting. Please stop the #fatphobia. Steven Cheung is garbage, but his weight is irrelevant. It undermines your argument and hurts fat people.

That bakery cappuccino really is what motivates me to leave the house and thus is worth every penny.

Americans point at the U-Bahn plan, confused?

It happens, and I'll offer help. My American accent may be a nice surprise.

The woman's response? A look of repulsion! Shock?
Then a fake smile, heavy condescension.

"That's so sweet, but we're just trying to figure it out."

My #wheelchair, right?

Emma, I love your show. I think you all do a great job. What you said about a threshold of awfulness justifying making fun of disabilities or illnesses is wrong. I cringe any time someone does it. The left is better than this.

Yes, @dahlialithwick.bsky.social . Emoluments seem not just quaint, but Norman Rockwell levels of quaint now.

Hey, #Deutschland. I already had to go through one crappy election as a participant. Can't do it again. Let's all make this one a good one.

Vote to protect the weakest among us.

I spent 90 minutes in the library reading the newspaper. Always feels good.

Breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking an abled person's legs. The entity who did it should be held responsible.

Just talking w/ my wife abt latest episode of Know Your Enemy with @chrislhayes.bsky.social, but @lioneltrolling.bsky.social came up and she said, something something... "John Ganz's book, 'The Clock is Broken, Girl'".

I know it may not seem so, but my reading that book clearly made an impact here.

Someone needs to point out to these GOP thugs that Americans who receive Social Security Disability and Social Security PAY for Medicare out of their own pockets. I have almost $200 dollars deducted from my Social security EVERY month for Medicare.

I yelled at everyone on the bus today.

Because for the thousandth time someone just stood in the wheelchair spot.

I even asked them to move and then they tried to HELP me up the ramp.

That isn't the problem. You are in the only place I can go

There is a sign

In two languages

It broke me today

Dreamed people at work are in an airplane hanger all doing crunch to get the latest release out.

I wake up. Guess dream me rudely vanished

@raskin.house.gov What am I supposed to do? I survive on Medicaid and depend on Social Security Disability. I make $900 a month. What am I supposed to do to survive and support myself? I have Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. You are destroying lives! We will have nothing! We already

I can't handle it sometimes. I feel like I have bees in my head. The stress of time, how to use it, how to check off all the boxes is exhausting.

I am mean to myself, so much that I am then mean to the person who is nicest to me.

That it's hard isn't an excuse. I gotta figure this out.

I hate being #disabled in a way that other people so often have to fix my #mistakes, and it is especially (and by that I mean a million times more) terrible when those mistakes had absolutely nothing to do with my #disability.

In the U-Bahn just now:

"Nächste Haltestelle, Kieferngarten."

Me quietly to myself, "Kieferngarten, fuck yeah..."

I don't know...

i’m not a math guy but it seems like they could’ve paid the rent for 100 apartments for close to a decade for the same price and with none of the atrocities, civil rights violations, etc.
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

Interessant, worum es gestern nicht gegangen ist:

- nicht um #geschlechtsbezogeneGewalt
- nicht um #LGBTQI Rechte
- nicht um den #Pflegenotstand
- nicht um die #Klimakrise
- nicht um die kaputte #Infrastruktur
- nicht um #Kinder

Das kommt davon, wenn man die Parteien von gestern einlädt.

Stop asking us to carry all the patience for navigating your bullshit ableism.

You only care when I show up in my wheelchair, and I get that, we all have complicated lives, but I am not going to coddle you. I wouldn't expect the same if I hadn't anticipated your basic needs.
