disabled people who can’t work still deserve accessibility.

Thinking about gay stuff

disabled people who can’t work still deserve accessibility.

just read about Maher Tarabishi, a 62 year old man who was detained by ICE in October 2025. He is a caregiver to his adult disabled son who has been hospitalized twice since his father has been detained. We need to talk more about disabled people and caregivers who are detained.

It’s January 3, 2026 and disabled people all over the world can’t get married without losing their benefits.

The fact that the Canadian government's official statement on the president of the United States illegally invading a foreign country does not include the words "President," "United States," "illegal," or "invade" really tells you all you need to know about where we stand, tbh

He had put us on a very dangerous trajectory. This is not what his voters voted for. He must be removed before he gets us all killed…

Actually, that exactly how JURISDICTION works unless you have an extradition treaty

I think my next-door neighbour is a crook so I abducted him and his wife at gunpoint in the middle of the night and now have them tied up in my basement. What are you looking at me like that for? I’m the hero here!

Hi! Are you doomscrolling? Do you have something fun planned today? Naps and trips to Costco count! If your job does not involve being on social media, I recommend logging off and doing something else. Lots of options, including reading a book, going to a museum and watching the gay hockey show. 🏒

you don’t need permission to be disabled and desirable. readthatagain.

Hi! I'm Anna. I am a disabled and queer author of similarly queer and disabled YA and adult SFF. Will post a short synopsis of each, followed by representation you can expect and links where you can find that work. I will not cover every platform, but my books are available widely. Ready? Long 🧵:

It has been 7 days since the Heated Rivalry season 1 finale, and you have the audacity to ask, “Have you watched it?” No, I haven’t simply watched it – it has changed me, Bethany.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

Oh god damn, he is COOKING

"What does it mean to be disabled and desirable? In Picture This, a...documentary by Jari Osborne, we meet Andrew Gurza, a self-described 'queer cripple' who has made it his mission to make sex and disability part of the public discourse." www.nfb.ca/film/picture... #Pride

yikes

happy new year from your severely disabled bestie...

the pick up line that I will be using as a full time wheelchair user in 2026 “i can’t walk, but I’d run to you”

PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask. Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.

I can't mask independently as a person with disabilities and dexterity issues. So when I see people masking, I feel infinitely safer. Jon Stewart joking about masking is hugely disappointing and really, really ableist.

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Millennial gay men don’t need therapy anymore - they have Heated Rivalry

“the only impairment and disability is by society.” nope. I am disabled by my body too, and by society. two things can be true at the same time, and a lot of disability needs to hear that.

More. Gay hockey. Now.

The @nytimes.com Lost Science series continues. Here's my Q&A with a scientist who was studying how wildfire smoke threatens human health when the EPA decided that her research was no longer a funding priority. Gift link: nyti.ms/4jhpw14

the way I will need every guy I date to speak in a thick Russian accent, while he cries about how much he loves me cannot be understated. I will take no questions at this time.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

power to sex workers all 2026

I want people to stop equating “having a large following” (social media…podcasts) with “being a credible expert” in anything except possibly self promotion. Just because someone managed to get a large number of followers doesn’t mean they’re suddenly an expert in whatever they want to talk about /1

Asshole National Post writers will spill endless ink about a mall protest against Israel but defend forever the violent occupation of the capital by a bunch of neo-nazi truckers.

Ok, okay, O.K.!! I know there have been tons of people loving Heated Rivalry, and I have something to say: this show has made me feel... proud to be queer in a whole new way.

Like Temperance Brennan in Bones … it’s confirmed outside of the show that Heated Rivalry’s Shane is canonically Autistic. Reid realized she wrote Shane as Autistic after her oldest was DXed. Williams isn’t openly Autistic but took inspiration from his Autistic father in the portrayal.

the television overlords need to make Heated Rivalry style shows for every other sport now. baseball, soccer, football, rugby… the homoerotic vibes are ripe for the picking!

I can not tell you how much this generation needed Heated Rivalry- I can’t remember the last time if any that I watched Gay Media and wasn’t waiting for the traumatic end-of-life/ or it’s all over moment. Heated Rivalry has brought relief and love and joy to the Gay screen. Emphasis on Relief.

One more Heated Rivalry thought: As a journalist I have participated for literal DECADES in the "Will audiences ever accept a frankly sexual romance between two hot actors?" discussion. It has always been used as an imaginary gay benchmark: "We'll know we've won when the day comes that..." etc. >

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn

saw a comment on a review of my book "Notes From A Queer Cripple" where the comment said it was their least favourite read of a number of books. Can't please everybody, right? Keep going, even when someone says something you don't like.

You better bring a ramp! Shane & Ilya’s cottage better be wheelchair accessible. I love Heated Rivalry, and I believe that disabled people deserve sexy, fantasy shows just like it. Seriously, Crave & HBO call me. I have ideas
