I live in the woods and especially now that the season is getting colder I am catching a lot of mice in my house. This is a thread of the mice I have met and their marvelously diverse personalities! 🧵

Every time a health insurance claim is denied or a premium is increased, a billionaire CEO gets richer.
They don’t have to worry about medical care.
They get the best care money can buy while denying that right to everyone else.
Universal healthcare now.

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!

May my friend @sfdirewolf.bsky.social rest in power. I will especially miss texting with her about Star Trek.

Today I had to vote on a school bond to *bring local schools into compliance with the ADA." Read that again.
I was 15 when the ADA passed and my old schools are STILL NOT ACCESSIBLE. I am 50 now, almost 51.

Many disabled people won’t go to the ER unless they’re literally dying (or forced against their will).
We’ve dealt with too much trauma & consider it an unsafe place.
That trauma is compounded in the US by agonizing over whether you can afford the bill.
Healthcare should be a human right.

As a European I just can't get my head round this.
A family member had a mini health scare a few weeks ago - scans and specialists all arranged in a couple of weeks on the NHS and it cost precisely nothing.
They were OK too btw.

RFK wants to start his autism registry.
A huge red flag to those of you not paying attention.
Indeed, they aren't new in the US - NJ and Utah have them off the top of my head. And they aren't a good thing.
A similar idea to RFK's was attempted in the UK and halted.
We must fight.

But at least Katy Perry went to space!!!
Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Massive fucking eye roll. If only I didn’t have to pay taxes!! Instead, they go to funding this bullshit 🙃
RFK just said Autism "destroys families" and "children” and says Autistic Children are kids that will never pay taxes, hold a job, play baseball, write a poem, go out on a date, many will never use a toilet unassisted. He also said "We are doing this to our children and we need to put an end to it."
