As soon as you’re willing to label a certain group of people expendable, the fascists win.

When you decide that social supports aren’t necessary, the billionaires win.

When you demand to pay less taxes even if it causes intense suffering? The 1% wins.

Your worth is not determined by your job, your bank account or your ability to produce for capitalism.

Disabled people have worth.

Children have worth.

The elderly have worth.

The homeless have worth.

Those in power want you to de-value others so you will accept atrocities.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

sharing to boost, and to recommend @hauntedbouncy.bsky.social for diverse books and cozy mugs
Instead of doing a consumerism on "Black" Friday, consider supporting small businesses, dropping a few coins in someone's ko-fi or go fund me, sign up for their patreon instead.

Life is expensive, things are hard. Drop coins to humans, not AI, or big corporations today.

I think it’s bad, actually, to play political chess with Indigenous rights.

The rains flooded us because of the dilapidated tents that barely protect us from anything. We hope you can help us Many families need help repairing their tents due to the rain. Please help, even with just five dollars.

Automatic captions make it difficult to watch videos because the viewer is forced to decipher misspelled or mistranslated words that appear in a string of text without any punctuation. These can be distracting and disorienting. Always edit your captions before publishing.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I want you to get vaccinated if you can, for everything that you can, to protect both yourself and those who cannot.

I used to have this argument about the flu shot. People I know were all "well i'm young and in good health so i don't need to." Do you care about anyone who is not those things?!

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can.

If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself.

She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up
Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

PLEASE keep talking about COVID. please keep talking about how crucial masking is to stop the spread of infectious disease. we need more people to understand that their government lied to them and threw them to the wolves.
