Disability Studies is an important space for me, but I cannot get over the fact that people in this field will not acknowledge that long COVID exists or that theyre complicit in "back to normal" no precautions needed bullshit. 1/2

Disabled people are typically the most vulnerable to state policies - whethers tied to immigtation policies, pandemic responses, storm responses, or healthcare cuts. We know this, our community knows this, but few people acknowlwdge us - only after we die do we get "oh how terrible" stories.

I can’t stop thinking about this.

Long Covid ruled as occupational disease in nurses https://www.europesays.com/ch/17407/ Long Covid confirmed as an occupational disease in nurses. Keystone-SDA Baloise Insurance must recognise the Long Covid disease…

The way that my entire 20s/30s has been shaped by eugenics is so wildly demoralizing and so exhausting. Im tired of opening the news every day to more and more attacks on disabled people. Im tired of watching disabled kin face discrimination at work or with drs. 1/2

How long do the effects of Covid really last? Researchers are still discovering new neurological issues.

Maybe tax one goddamn billionaire before you take away access to home and community based services or assistive devices for disabled ppl. This hunt for "fraud" is going to result in rampant neglect, suffering, and murder. This is eugenics. cms.gov/newsroom/press…

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

“I wear a mask because countless studies have detailed the damaging cumulative effects of COVID.”—Peace is holding their “Long COVID Story Short”, a zine they and mom Dimitrea created as an autobiographical example of the urgency of care and attention needed for Long Haulers.🧵

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

I get the ethical problems, but disability twitter is disability twitter. Ill stay with feet in both places until it becomes easier to find and chat with covid conscious and disabled folks here. While the Twitter algo is terrible, I see far more on disability issues there than I do here.

I want to stress: COVID IS a test of moral integrity. You can check wastewater data in your area. Levels of community transmission are high where I am. I am just as vulnerable to COVID as I was in 2020. I would be safer if other people acknowledged that and took action to get boosters and wear N95s

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

PSA to my fellow Zoom users -- it's automatically turned on a bunch of A.I. features without asking you✌️ to turn all 32 of them off, go to "Settings" --> "My Account" --> "View advanced features" it'll open up your browser and list a SHITTON of A.I. features, many of which will be on (scroll!)

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧 The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement. May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

This move cannot be understood without recognizing how all-consuming the battle for control over "science" has become within institutional medicine. I put it in quotes because it's not about actual science, but whose opinion is laundered by the science cosplay rapidly replacing the real thing.

Today my students asked about AI advertising to student populations/campuses and I recommended that they read tech bro rhetoric about AI while swapping out "AI" for the terms "slavery," "pollution," "billionaire profits," or "deep state surveillance," and we had a great time. Highly recommend.

So wildly unsurprised. Wealth has always been wedded to eugenics bc wealthy people want to believe theyre somehow more evolved/advanced than the rest of us.

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?

The planet burns, but most educated people still eat beef. Millions are disabled weekly by Long COVID, but most people still don't mask up where indoors. Reminder: just because most people are doing something doesn't mean that behavior is aligned with either science or even their own stated morals.

Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing. Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Columbia will never be free of this stain.

Wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. Covid is not over. The government pushed a “back to normal” agenda for the economy, not because it was safe. They told us “only the vulnerable” needed to worry, but covid is a multi system vascular virus that is dangerous to everyone.

While the 4B movement in South Korea was originally seen as extreme, every day headlines seem to hint at the fact that this is the only rational way to move in the world as a woman.

I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:

unraveled is *two* people, doing work that much bigger newsrooms aren't

Wow bold to write a defense that implies both "I sent a student into a job where shed likely be sexually assaulted" and "I see women in my own classroom as sexual objects." More reasons to hate academia every day.

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association. Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

This goes to my longstanding soapbox: everything is a disability policy from housing to health care to urban planning to mass transit.
