If you’re dealing with a chronic illness flare, remember it’s ok to rest.
You’re not failing.
You didn’t do anything wrong.
You’re not being punished.
Flare ups happen and the best thing we can do is lean in to radical rest as much as possible.
Save your spoons and give yourself grace.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

If you’re a writer, artist or creator, you should be leading the fight against AI
You shouldn’t be encouraging other creators to use it “for good”
There is no good use of AI
It steals people’s work. It generates slop. It’s destroying the environment
There is no “morally good” application for it

I love my wrinkles, the smile lines deepening, the gray hair frosting my temples, the extra padding around my middle protecting the heart that has softened from years of love and heart break.
Aging is a privilege and I'm up for the challenge.
Mondays still suck ass tho.

N95 masks are PPE.
They’re designed to protect the wearer from covid, airborne viruses, wildfire smoke & more.
They’re a public health tool.
Gaitors & bandanas are face coverings worn by ICE goons who want to conceal their identity because they’re kidnapping people
They’re not the same.

If you are an artist (or a musician or a writer or any kind of creative) please keep doing your art and don’t let anyone tell you that “now isn’t the time” because NOW IS EXACTLY THE TIME. Art is power. Art is disruption. Art is resistance. There’s a reason the fascists always come for the artists.

Not been well this week & have been thinking about my value as a disabled (autism+ADHD+PMDD) human & been comparing myself to others (never good). When I feel low I make miniature posies. I’ve been mocked for them before but they lift my mood-I hope this one lifts yours. Maybe a small life is ok…

Recently I've watched several documentaries about the 1960s & the Vietnam War -- lots that's relevant today
This one notion stuck with me more than anything else I learned
I'd never heard it or considered this before

“If you’re worried wear a mask, don’t expect others to”
This doesn’t work when it comes to an airborne virus. “You do you” is not public health strategy.
We need to start acknowledging that many disabled people are unable to mask. That two way masking is better than one. Masking is community care

If you want to avoid long term health issues, wear a mask
If you care about disabled people, wear a mask
If you care about being able to resist & fight back, wear a mask
If you know that raw milk, vitamin A and green juice aren’t cures, wear a mask

Useful reminder
The most freeing acronym I’ve come across:
Don’t JADE
Don’t justify, argue, defend, or explain.
Works great when dealing with narcissism or manipulation but actually is a useful reminder in other interactions too. It’s about boundaries, self-worth & feeling deserving of unapologetically being me.

There’s a lot of people who want to fight fascism yet won’t wear a mask
Fascism & eugenics go hand in hand. They’re coming for the disabled and chronically ill
Wearing a mask shows solidarity with disabled people, while also protecting your health so you’re better equipped for the fight

isn’t tenable
The narrative that anti-vaxxers or QAnon weirdos will come back from the brink if we're nice enough to them isn't tenable morally and doesn't hold up empirically. Ostracizing people whose beliefs harm others is a critical aspect of a functioning marketplace of ideas.
