We don’t do Passover but we eat Matzo year round. What kind of Jew is that?

My aesthetic involves masterpieces that return for another installment every ten years. So far, that’s the Comeback and the Before Sunrise etc series of movies Anything else belong on the list?

Is all ableism internalized ableism? Talked disability stuff on the "Nothing About Us Without Us" show www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgEP...

Killing them, Softee, with your song

Anyway, it is always "fuck Peter Singer" o'clock around these parts, as disabled people have always known what and who that man is

My favorite sub-sub genre are movies that track the cultural shift from the 70s to 80s. So far I can only think of Velvet Goldmine and The Last Days of Disco.

I was improving from another illness and walking four miles a day when I caught Covid in July 2020. I took my n95 off for 30 seconds to take my temp at a doctor I’ve never been able to take a long walk since and I suffer flu like symptoms most days since #longCovidAwarenessDay

Dosing oneself with well research drugs prescribed by doctors is also risky and experimental. We should approach both carefully and with caution

Where on the ranking of autism traits is, “Sorry I can’t give you the short version of what happened?” I think it’s pretty high.

Julia is an incredible reporter. So appreciate her covering this incredibly important issue. @opeiu.org ASL interpreters have been fired just for organizing for a voice on the job.

Do other disabled people think about how it would be to appear on Bravo or reality tv or just me?? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThc93YR1/

This week’s episode of Bubble People features journalist @rachelcdailey.bsky.social. We talk ableism in the media, working as a journalist, and the ableist legacy of Tiny Tim and “A Christmas Carol.” 1/ https://youtube.com/shorts/3yaTTJx_xNw?feature=shared

Check out the Bubble People Podcast! Disability issues, amazing interviews, how are more of us not tuned in??? Spread the word about this one. Absolutely check out this interview with Maysoon Zayid!! ✨

Wayback machine suspects I’m a robot so I can’t read archived articles

NEW ARTICLE: Comedian Maysoon Zayid had a deal with ABC to produce a TV sitcom inspired by her life, as a Muslim woman with cerebral palsy. Why was that show never released? Maysoon gives me the inside story. (Hint: bigotry) justinebarron.substack.com/p/the-sitcom...

A lot of ink has been spilled about what happened at the BAFTA’s this year. Instead of continuing to litigate that, I dug into racial and gendered disparities in Tourette syndrome and the experiences of Black women with the condition. My latest @19thnews 19thnews.org/2026/03/blac...

I scared off all of the therapists I tried this year. But all I did was ask questions and provide calm feedback about their assumptions around disability. I need an old person who isn’t a wimp.

And I have to suspect there’s a reason I see vax and relax types going after Covid conscious people and long covid patients and not actual anti-vaxxers on this issue. And it’s not a pleasant suspicion.

Vaccines do not *meaningfully* block transmission which even Rochelle Walensky recently admitted while expressing regret that she promoted “vax and relax” Half of the members of my long covid group (of over 8,000) were vaccinated and recently boosted when they caught Covid and developed long covid

I’m looking for someone to fight me on how “Oliver” is the best musical of all time so I can defend my case

If only Dick Cheney were alive to call out this unlawfulness

So I alt-texted Schumer's statement and his staff HID IT in the replies. They HID the alt-text.

Michael Hobbes’ podcast on health frauds is filled with the ableism he promotes on here. He started off seeming like a progressive media critic, and now he entirely banks on ableism

Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

Sorry but I find the ableism worse on this site because 1) there isn’t as much organized pushback and 2) it’s coming from liberals who position themselves as rational and mainstream

Hollywood producers told comedian Maysoon Zayid that a successful disabled Muslim character would make “normal people” feel bad. So she walked away from a deal with ABC instead of selling a stereotype. https://youtube.com/shorts/R-EzF9c5r4w?feature=shared

Calling a very well known vaccine advocate “anti vaxx” because she VERY correctly calls for people to take supportive measures like masking since our current vaccines do not stop transmission is wild. As someone who actually does vax outreach in LA the lines Michael is pushing feed anti vax ideology

GRIPPED WITH a terrifying question: At what point in my life, did I start pronouncing the “t” in often and why?

Sometimes I was defensive when people piled on me on twitter. Other times, like when I made fun of yoga, I let them have their say. I'm flawed! I joke about yoga only privately now.

I live with my elderly father. We are both disabled. He is hard-of-hearing and it's gotten worse. Meanwhile, I need to wear a mask around him AND I sometimes lose my voice due to ME. Struggle! But I still prefer living with someone else who is disabled. At least we try!

Neurological diseases are all poorly understood. Except as patients, we can describe the experience of them as well as we can describe anything

Thinking about how I don't know of a single open Black disabled person who holds a full-time disability reporting role, and how desperately we're losing out because of that.

I'm so excited about this week's episode of Bubble People. Comedian @maysoon.bsky.social talks about how AdamSandler accommodated her on a film set — and how she was initially reluctant to ask for help. Watch here! Full episode drops tomorrow. 1/1 www.youtube.com/shorts/FzCLD...

I’m so grateful for how much I’ve learned about Tourette’s this week that I didn’t know and how many people with Tourette’s I’ve gotten to virtually meet I think this gets really deep into what disability inclusion can look like, and I still have a lot to learn

The producers of BAFTA come off as understanding about the disability inclusion to the point that they wouldn't even censor it. But not understanding about addressing racial harm. That does seem racist of them. I'd believe if the races were switched, they'd lean in support of whoever was white.

Anyone surprised he's also a YIMBY? (Building new housing in Miami corresponded with rents going up FYI. Not just Miami)

I only understand the sex and journalism on Industry

Speaking of writing, someone gave me the note on some memoir essays to show more of the scenes in dialogue but I was 8. I can’t remember who said what. That’s fiction no?

I found my thesis on Preston sturges from grad school I either write much better or worse now. Hopefully better but I guess I was having more fun then

Neurotypical people are still stuck on “But that’s how my brain would work under those circumstances.”

What do people think Tourette’s is? This is a consistent problem in disability discourse. No, we can’t always be both disabled and socially acceptable. 1/
