Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.

We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

This is a fiction we all tell ourselves to live with anxiety about death. Multiple friends didn't believe me when I told them I had cancer. "But you're so healthy!" Diet and exercise have nothing to do with it.

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

So I was just on a smaller call with Ezra of @indivisibleteam and I’m not gonna share the whole thing because it was a private call, but I do want to highlight just a handful of things he said.
🧵

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers

We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the support to leave

Many disability benefits are cut if you marry, forcing dependence

We need a universal basic income so we can have autonomy #IWD2025

Whether you're one who marches or one who brings water to marchers or one who helps arrested marchers in court or one who helps fund the march or one who writes about the march or one who contacts leaders and/or media about why the march, you're needed, you're part of us.

if you're talking at a conference, use the mic 👏 👏

The enraging thing is we won't be able to stop any of this shit until nondisabled people realize the murder of disabled people *is the point* (or, rather, one of several points), but they refuse. It's like trying to untangle a giant knot but refusing to touch one of the strings. Ain't gonna work.

New from me: A school district in Pennsylvania voted against adding a Black author's book about the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to the curriculum. Then, the community decided to do something about it.

My 4 year old's favorite joke:

"I just saw a wolf!"

"Where?"

"No, just the regular kind."

just learning that the iconic canadian prog rock band "Rush" has introduced a devastating 5/8 tariff on all tempo exports to the United States
