PSA for newbies:

Please include ALT text on your images.

This is an inclusive space for blind and visually impaired people.

Don't arrive late to the party and ignore a bunch of people.

Also, please share this skeet, rather than liking it, to ensure the message gets delivered.

Thanks!

Disabled people have been right about almost everything that’s happened over the last five years.

People don’t listen to us because they don’t think of us as real people. We’re invisible (at best) and completely disposable (at worse).

We are the canaries - and we are trying to warn you. Listen.

The following is a recruitment letter for an IRB approved research project I'm doing on disabilities and masculinity, along with an alt-text summary. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested in participating.

So, where are the Blacks for Trump?

A cabinet should represent and reflect its people. This collection resembles an exclusive country club.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

I don’t even want to think about how much of my own money I have spent on my Oklahoma classroom. *off to buy my own card stock*

A lot of the positions people like RFK jr. take (anti-vax, anti-pasteurization etc.) get described as “controversial.”

They’re not. There is no controversy. This is long-settled science. The correct term is “stupid.”

A few years ago, while teaching at a small country school, I was listening to a podcast during my plan and came across this motto. It knocked me off my feet. I was teaching students who didn’t believe that college was a path. “Don’t take choices away from future you.”

Anyone who thinks "America" needs "Jesus" has never read the Constitution or the Bible. The notion of a "Christian government" is as heretical as it is unconstitutional.

Blue sky feels amazing but also terrifying. It’s a blue dot heaven. But my state superintendent did just create a department of “Religious Liberty and Patriotism”. So it also may be the reason I lose my teaching certificate.

I saw someone say:

This isn’t a cabinet.

This is a junk drawer.

And I legitimately snorted

To be fair, if Trump is limited to men who haven't sexually any assaulted women, he's only got Lindsey Graham, left.

Did I pick my #PWHL team because of its logo?
Yes.
Did I also pick it because it looks like a quidditch team logo?
Also yes.

I’m so excited for this season! Let’s go ladies!

The more I hear different silver bullet explanations as to how/why Trump got elected, the more I think we need to embrace what intersectional scholars and activists have LONG preached:

Capitalism has ALWAYS been intertwined with racism, patriarchy, and other forms of oppression.
