“can you assist in an evacuation in case of an emergency?”

Hell yes I can. I long to pull the forbidden red bar. Really, they should be asking if I can resist temptation for a whole 2 hours

Someday I’m going to be president and I’m going to make 6 am illegal

Like, it’ll still exist technically I suppose, if it must… but you’re not allowed to speak of it and certainly not allowed to schedule things within the hour

Alice Wong fought tirelessly against institutionalizing disabled people.

She understood that we deserve autonomy over our care.

That healthcare is a basic human right and people should receive the support they need to remain in their homes & communities.

Fight for universal healthcare now!

Trying to do a warranty exchange on an ikea mattress but couldn’t find the purchase on my bank statements…

Until my former roomie reminded me that we had multiple “they’re doing WHAT in the Capitol???” “they want to off PENCE????” conversations with strangers. While shopping for a mattress.

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.

Hello Friends! I need your help.

I've submitted a proposal to the Illinois Supreme Court, docketed as Proposal 25-05, to guarantee that undocumented immigrants, disabled people, and legal aid and pro bono attorneys can appear in court remotely. My proposed language is the underlined text below!

Something is wrong with my back such that it generally hurts (one specific spot to the left of my spine), but it becomes unbearable after like an hour in an office chair 🥲

I think Catholics are on to something with confession and penance.

People naturally confess feelings of guilt to close friends and partners, but it seems the default response to this nowadays (unless personally aggrieved) is reassurance & justification. “It’s not your fault.” “It’s not that bad.”
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Making people with ADHD see a psychiatrist every 90 days (and then go, in person, to the pharmacy every 30 days) to get their brain juice is a waste of the clinician’s time and limited resources, and a particularly egregious burden on ADHDers.

It should not be as niche as it is, but I keep having to repeat it:

If your values don't apply to *everyone,* they're not actually your values. They are simply a favor that you do for people that you like.

Oh hell yes. I’m so proud of everyone involved
Last week, the Indiana University administration asked their student newspaper not to print any news stories in the Homecoming edition. When the faculty advisor refused, IU fired him and ended paper printing. So students at the Purdue paper printed the IU edition and drove it down to Bloomington!

The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.
