The world is getting very very bad, but my little cat loves me so much that if he’s sleeping and I wake him up to give him a squeeze and a kiss on his stupid little head, in the instant he realizes it’s me, he starts purring like a motor. So it’s a world worth fighting for

Genocide in Sudan and genocide in Xinjiang deserve the same level of attention as genocide in Gaza, which absolutely deserves the attention it’s getting. It’s about being honest about why the West ignores the other genocides and then increasing coverage of them, not decreasing Gaza coverage.

When I started my conversion to Judaism, a rabbi warned me that people would hate me just for being Jewish. Boy, was he right. It's interesting, that's for sure. Even when I say no one should be tortured and killed, I am still somehow wrong because I am Jewish. Oh well. I wanted to be Jewish.

Zaida, of blessed memory, please give me the strength to not to engage with people who say that your time in Aushwitz and the years of trauma you endured ever after are somehow invalid... for any reason, but especially by a Gentile performing armchair activism.

It took me a whole day to recover from that effort, and now I feel like I am being reminded once again, I fail at everything I do, even when I try to help people.

Apparently, I needed to receive a lecture about how "I need to get out more". I am poor, disabled, dealing with serious illness, and not one person (other than my partner) has visited me in over a year. No one calls. No one brings casseroles. It didn't feel nice to be lectured after trying so hard.

I visited someone in the hospital on the weekend. My partner drove me, and I brought along some magazines that I picked up from a store. Magazines are expensive, y'all. I brought coffee and treats. I honestly thought that I was performing a mitzvah. It cost a lot, both financially and physically.

Today is my cat Frosty's birthday. She's been gone for several years now, but I cannot help but remember her special day. She was one of the great loves of my life, and I miss her so much.

Cooking for Shabbat as someone who is disabled and has chronic pain issues leaves me feeling agonizing pain. I guess food is extra holy when seasoned with tears!

Today, I prepared a simple but still technically proper meal and managed to eat a few bites. I did a week's worth of dishes. I took a long, soapy shower and then I moisturized. I even brushed my teeth, swirling the blood away with mouthwash. I'm in pain but I did it all alone- I deserve a sticker.

It's too bad that after years of studying and thousands of dollars being spent on tuition that no one seems to have taught my doctor the importance of reading a patient's [redacted] chart.

Achievement unlocked: had my first PSW-assisted shower. I didn't die of embarrassment, only vomit. So, little wins. Here's to a lifetime of strangers touching my naked body.

They're spraying for cockroaches again today. Once more, I had to single-handedly take apart my kitchen and move my furniture. In case you were wondering, being poor and disabled still sucks.

I've been pondering MAID. The medical system does not want to help me. The social services system does not want to help me. I have not had a person come visit or check on me in a year. I've seen the toll it takes on the one ally I have. Doctors say there's no way that I can hope to heal. BB TBC

As a ciswoman/femme -type person, and as a feminist, I really don't feel like I am responsible for making dudebros become better humans. Like, get therapy, Bro? Read a book. Take a class. Volunteer. Join Fight Club. Call out your bros.

I literally don't know a better way to demonstrate the kind of person you are when you choose to exercise your power and authority over others in such a way that not only harms us regular shmoes, but also harms and instills the little wannabe cops in training with the idea that this acceptable.

WORD. TRUTH. STRAIGHT UP.
Fascism cannot tolerate body autonomy.
It is directly opposed to body autonomy.
Attacks on trans people, abortion care and fat activism are all attacks on body autonomy.

Words to ponder, Friends. (this is my polite way of calling fatphobic and ableist people assholes who spend more energy on shaming the fat and the disabled than in any way contributing to supporting, caring for, or reducing the struggle of these marginalised folx).
If fascists keep appealing to how much they love fatphobia and hating fat people, mostly fat women
How long will it take for Leftists to understand that they can't be fatphobic without being fascist?

Rep. Brandon Gill used his time to read through old Maher tweets about race, as well as various articles from NPR related to weight and "fatphobia." He described NPR content as "garbage," and said he would use his time in congress to ensure that NPR did not get "another dime" of federal funding.
