my nice thing of the day is a care package i + my partner signed us up for bc of TDoR. it was beautiful and needed and healing

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I want you to get vaccinated if you can, for everything that you can, to protect both yourself and those who cannot. I used to have this argument about the flu shot. People I know were all "well i'm young and in good health so i don't need to." Do you care about anyone who is not those things?!

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can. If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

my nice things of the day: art journaling, a baby babbling and laughing, letting myself cry, reading alice wong's writing to ppl i love

“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself. She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them” If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up

happy halloween, i have 1 of my last appointments w/ the only truly helpful therapist i've found in 15 yrs today bc we refuse to invest in health care and social services! 👻🎃🍭

Twitch thinking about implementing AI clipping tool, this means yalls voice is gonna be scraped. You better vote against it. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92471... #twitch

listening to horseglue by @ekkoastral.bsky.social on repeat as a sort of bedtime ritual. we're gonna feel our feelings. we're gonna sleep. we're gonna wake up and fight harder tmrw. deal?

Adding alt text to your images is a small kindness you can extend into a very unkind world 💜

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

my nice thing of the cptsd hellscape is that 2 different neighbors helped me this evening independently of each other with almost no notice

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

PLEASE keep talking about COVID. please keep talking about how crucial masking is to stop the spread of infectious disease. we need more people to understand that their government lied to them and threw them to the wolves.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

nice thing of the day: going back and forth on the phone saying hi with a 1 yr old that's happy to hear my voice

It’s not too late to wear a mask. It’s not too late to protect your health. It’s not too late to show you care about the health of those around you. It’s not too late to do your part to make public spaces inclusive & accessible. It’s radical kindness & community care.

in the strange disability mindfuck space where i was well enough last night to stay on the phone and give directions during an emergency and manage pain for an hr of roadtrip and put 2 kids to bed but waking up w all the unfamiliar fragrances is the thing that takes me out i guess ??

“I’m afraid of what happens if I stop feeling too much. I don't want to become someone who moves and breathes like all of this is normal. I am afraid of what that would make me. I am afraid of what that tendency has already made me, in some ways, and what it has made the world.”

nice thing(s) of the day so far this week: physio assessment going well + teaching me about my body, gender euphoria at a queer barber shop, reading Wicked on the couch during quiet moments, singing in the graveyard w family ⚧️🍂♿️

77 years of the same lies

Read this thread. We could all use a bit of hope, love, compassion and a reminder of the good in the world.

Wellness culture feeds directly into eugenics. Eugenics feeds directly into fascism. This is nothing new, and it’s why disabled people have been screaming for solidarity for years. We saw this coming. We know it’s going to get worse. Refuse to leave vulnerable people by the wayside.

"climate change isn't real" it's 28°c in october in winnipeg, what the fuck planet are u living on ??

trans people stop assuming i’m cis just because i’m saying something you disagree with challenge

fever time is wild. i've only been so sick i'm stuck in bed for about 24 hrs and it feels like 3 yrs

nobody tells u about the panic attacks u'll have whenever u get sick after u lose someone close to u to covid. he couldn't mask bc he was on a ventilator there are covid surges rn, we're heading into cold and flu season. pls get ur vaccines if u can. pls mask, especially in medical settings

really, really, really hate the normalization / "cute-ification" of delulu / delusional. as someone who has dealt with delusions, trust me, delusions are not cute or fun or trendy. they're fucking awful and terrifying actually. pls find & use other words. ._.

if you’re a trans american and following the news right now, it can feel pretty terrifying. that’s because it IS terrifying. just… the number one thing you can do right now is to live as long as humanly possible and make it to the other side of all this. because we WILL win. and that’s how.

Asking for an author’s book at a library is a wonderful thing to do. The library buys the book, maybe even multiple copies, which really does help authors. A simple request can spread a lot of good around. Also I just love libraries and I’m always happy when someone checks out one of my books. 📚

americans disgusted and/or surprised by the global reaction to CK's death, his influence was not contained by borders. there have been memorials in canada. our far right is emboldened rn too. they've been in the streets

we live in a time when a man who said that Black people and women shouldn't be allowed to vote, gays should be stoned to death, and trans people should be locked up gets praised as "doing things the right way" while trans people who were a little mean online in asking to be left alone "went too far"

I really wish there were more people protesting with and for disabled rights in the UK and in the world in general. It feels like we always have to do so much work to advocate for ourselves. Be an actionable disabled ally. We do far too much on our own.

happy sunday. watch this video to instantly put a smile on your face

gonna be even more of a nest goblin than the forecast predicted. nice thing of the day to leave u with: yesterday i showed a baby how garden pinwheels work

so many ppl (extended family) touched me w/o asking yesterday. including a nurse, while i was at risk of another seizure and barely done the first one ?? if u learn nothing else frm me this week: don't restrict the movement of someone during a seizure. it's dangerous af

just saying, they’d hate it if you focused on other things today instead of worrying about a breaking news event. keep talking about the genocide of palestinians. climate change. the dc occupation. immigration raids. don’t narrow your focus to a moving object surrounded by online misinformation.

hold space for your outrage, but remember that they want you to be outraged. the thing they’d hate the most is for you to stay head down and focus on securing your rights, your health care, your environment. they’d despise it if you focused on a better future, hand in hand. that would show them.

i will not let the news of the day stop my work and neither should you. we can and will build a future of peace, love and understanding, and there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

I'm going to say this as many times as it's necessary: you shouldn't kill your political opponents

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

Things continue to devolve at an exponential rate, but the core goal hasn't changed. Find your strengths, the places you can make the biggest difference. Lock in there and start doing the work. You can't put out all the fires. But you can do a hell of a lot to help contain one of them.
