What’s funny is how the metro in France is hilariously and inhumanly disabled unfriendly and yet around the city I had the most access with my assistance dog ever. 🫠 it was embarrassing to the UK honestly.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been denied access in the UK with an assistance dog I would be insanely wealthy actually it’s becoming sort of a sick joke how often it happens @scottishgov.bsky.social

As a college professor, AI has made my life—and the lives of all educators—unimaginably worse.

Dog and I half asleep in the business class lounge 😴 do not disturb

If Israel doesn’t want to be called a terrorist state then they can stop being terrorists committing a genocide on the Palestinian people. Until then call it exactly what it is. Words have meaning 🇵🇸

I can't emphasise this enough: WHEN YOU DELAY ACCESS TO CORE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BECAUSE YOU AS A SERVICE PROVIDER DO NOT UNDERSTAND ACCESS LAW YOU ARE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. #accessibility #disability #discrimination

Actually when I go to rent my favourite thing that I see is “you must have a registered assistance dog” that is just… so strange since, hold on let me check the law…. ah yes here it is:

You may be saying, well it's 2025 and the #UKEqualityAct2010 has protections against people with disabilities being discriminated against when it comes to housing - so Julie, when you go to find a place it must be really easy to just show them a task-trained assistance dog and gain access!

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti. The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya frames the agency’s decision to pivot from mRNA vaccine research as a response to a “crucial test” that mRNA supposedly failed: earning public trust. This framing conflates public trust with scientific validity, which is flat out wrong.

Also the number of AI generated posters this year? For an arts and culture festival it’s quite a slap in the face to see individuals using stolen, eco-terrorism drivel to market their shows. 😒 you know who you are

Fringe regularly puts out citizens of the city and costs the city massive amounts of money and puts a strain on local resources. When does Fringe plan to give back?

Even Glastonbury takes a year off to allow for the environment to heal the land where they hold the festival but Fringe never actually does an eco-approach to the work. And! Yet again the LLC in charge is in London so much of the Fringe money never goes back to City of Ed.

“Oh it’s so unbearably hot during the @edfringe.bsky.social now!” But we won’t have a conversation about how the festival has gotten way too big each year and is causing massive carbon emissions and does nothing to offset that. #climatechange #festivalfringe #cancelfringe

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Does Pam Bondi also want to talk about how much money she has accepted from everyone in senior White House positions currently for her past FL AG campaigns and how she’s been a pay to play rep for years or no? Is that off the table?

Even though the parents have been trying to murder me and the dog the past month I still am out here trying to make sure their stupid baby is safe 😒

Oh, you mean the gestapo? The Gestapo. The GESTAPO. Because that’s what this is. If you have any knowledge of history we are at the “establishing & bolstering private internal force to disappear our own people”

This is fucking insane. Closing these NOAA labs would obliterate our ability to observe, understand, and forecast the Earth System, from weather systems tomorrow to sea levels 50 years from now.

Just submitted my response! Make sure to get yours in before midnight tonight. Thank you to TransActual for providing guidance, it was so helpful!

Sure it would be great to go a day without being reminded that my existence at my school is not constantly under fire and that I spend more time in my PhD struggling to be here than actually doing my work but why would they allow that!!!

Ableism, discrimination, bullying, and harassment are alive and well in higher education! Don’t worry not a day goes by that I’m not subjected to absolute evil by my university but I mean thankfully I just print it out and add it to the file. Insane tbh.
