As a dreamy, angsty adolescent I used to look at this Hildebrandt illustration and get the same feelings I got from Whitlock’s Rigel 7 matte painting: a sense of wonder and a desire to escape. My teen years are long past, but today as a 50-year-old with chronic pain I looked at them again...

🌳🌊 Today the edge of the lake matches the sky's blue - look hard for the thin line that separates sky from water. The grass is lush, tall. Cattails, sumac, oaks, maples, and milkweed are familiar faces. No, technically this wasn't my home; we didn't own it. [Preserve our public lands!]

The lesson that's stuck with me throughout every single iteration of Star Trek is that found family can be more real than one's biological family.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

[Prompt: What feels like a Sar Trek but actually isn't] yes! B5 love! and also: (though this would be admittedly a darker Trek universe) -and honorable mention to the more obvious choices of The Orville & Galaxy Quest as well *

We’re rallying in Montgomery today to show politicians that we won’t let them take away Black voting power without a fight.

💯 Yes!! and these are the kinds of things my taxes *should* be helping with -- things that further these aims. - Healthcare - Housing - Food - Education - Scientific Research - Accessibility in general [not an all inclusive list, just a starting point] instead of bombs & ballrooms!

Hey so this is fucking disgusting. FYI restraint and seclusion of disabled kids is totally legal with few guardrails and happens in schools all over the U.S., usually targeting Black, Indigenous, people of color students who are already facing disparities in access to disability services.

A program created to prevent people from living in poverty should not punish people for saving money.

Ah the joys of being ghosted on dating app after this: "So what do you do for work?" Me: I'm disabled so I don't work but I do look after my neices & nephews often." [w/meme for an attempt at levity] I *did* mention that I have disabilities in my earlier on dating profile too. um, surprise?

⚠️ Content warning. Eugenics is the false and dangerous idea that some lives are more valuable than others. Eugenics says that disabled people don’t matter and cannot have a good life without being cured. The world does not need to be “cured” of disabled people. Disabled people deserve to exist.

On 5/04 we’re celebrating Section 504 - and the power of people coming together to create change. Thrilled to share that Indiana has dropped out of the Texas v. Kennedy case. That’s people power!
