The people who can’t understand pronouns are gendering breakfast foods

I also think people have not thought thru the endpoint: the only reason *some* good information can be gleaned now through an AI lit review is because human beings did analysis & thinking & synthesis that the machines pilfered. This info will be trash with less human involvement down the line.

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

This is a good read. I'm also thinking about how almost all disability organizations, including ones for Tourette's, have very white leadership, which means many fail to approach situations like this with intersectional nuance. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

More abuse of disabled immigrants by Border Partrol. They seem intent on targeting those who they perceive as weak or unable to fight back. This man was blind and didn’t speak English… they left him out in the cold. He died. Make noise for Shah Alam.

Did that broke thing of needing a snack and having nothing snack like so I had a spoonful of peanut butter and a swig of soymilk. After eating a dinner of lentils and rice. Being on disability is just eating variations of legumes and grains every day forever

Breaking — Planned ICE concentration camp near Nashville canceled!!!!

If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong... this thread is for you. First: prompt questions to get you started.

The UN released a scathing report on Canada’s treatment of disabled people last spring—calling out inadequate support & urging a halt to MAiD expansion + Track Two. I document the government's silence about the report. My piece in @breachmedia.ca 1/n breachmedia.ca/canada-sides...

The UN report and its recommendations weren’t “surprising to anyone listening to the disabled community,” said @mssinenomine.bsky.social Anyone listening would know that these issues have been discussed for years so the UN report should not have come as a surprise. 3/n

In light of everything, a reminder: "The most visible layer as a Black disabled person is our Blackness, which is constantly under the threat of scrutiny, assumed guilt, and, as logically follows, persecution." - Tinu Abayomi-Paul in #TheBlackAgendaBook

You know, the ‘please hold space for people with disabilities to say the n-word with a hard -er’ is never a demand being made by Black people living with disabilities It shows how deeply white supremacy subtends a lot of what passes for Disability Justice

Hey all, @maedayj.bsky.social needs urgent #MutualAid this month!

I’m Black and disabled. It’s the racism of the disabled community. Imagine thinking you can police how Black people should respond to racial slurs being hurled at Black folks at the BAFTA Awards because the person who said it is disabled.

Scrolling tonight feeling nostalgic and missing the era of Tinu on twitter. its unfair that she's gone #chronicloaf #ForTinu

They chose to let the world hear Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan called the N-word They edited all types of other things out of the broadcast.

In too much pain to get up, thing that may or may not help is in the next room, infinite chronic pain loop

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

1 unit of chronically ill energy = 10 unit of rest.

Rest in peace Micheal Parenti 🙏 his lectures and writing have been a great resource of knowledge and comfort to me, especially in the last few years. There are many nights when listening to his old lectures is what gets me through my painsomnia. If you haven't read his work, please start!

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If you read one book in your life, read Perfect Victims and the politics of appeal by Mohammed El-Kurd.

I’m sure it’s been said before, but the ultimate white privilege is not being defined by your worst acts. Any article on Vance (or Musk, Trump, Miller, et. al.) should include the context that they’re explicit white supremacists. But once the latest scandal abates, they always reset to respectable.

Every little bit of progress is forced by organizers and activists. A bombshell report on Canada lying to the public (and sending over 400k bullets and all kinds of support to Israel) just got published, then today the Canadian state says it will finally recognize the state of Palestine

New euphemism just dropped. Apparently in Dubai they are saying "People of Determination" 🤢

The fact that the AIR blowing from a fan makes my CRPS foot flare up in pain is very ridiculous to the point that I can almost understand the gaslighting doctors. ...almost

Nothing like a medical appointment to send my fight or flight soaring

Not on here often so hate to post and dash but trying to get $400 by the end of the week for car stuff and groceries. I’ve been unemployed for a year and just trying to keep it together. GFM: gofund.me/9323ac60 V:Alexis-Mobley-2 PP: amobley7127 CA: AlexisSMobley #MutualAid #HelpSky #FundSky

Just watching no less than 300 people enter this costco before a motorized cart is available to use only wasting all my energy before getting in the door HA HA HA HELP

Okay what is this chronically ill thing where if I don't move my body enough in a day I can't sleep, but if I move it too much I also can't sleep?

I want to see the downfall of the MBM as a poverty measure in Canada. It's bad and we all know it's bad. such nonsense neoliberal thinking "look we measured poverty differently and now there are less people in poverty!"

This tech, developed in part by Stephen Harper's company, was tested for it's effectiveness at targeted murder in Gaza. It will inevitably be turned on you and me and our kids.

Does anyone have suggestions for a gentle de-radicalization along these lines? I wish I had more books, podcasts and YouTubers to send people drifting into the Rogan-verse

*cough*

Yves Engler, a Canadian author, who has been likened to Noam Chomsky, was arrested by police in Montreal, Canada, on Thursday for criticising Israel and accusations of harassment from a pro-Israeli influencer.

Dahlia Kurtz, who is absolutely a genocide monger, has pressed charges against Yves Engler for identifying Kurts as being a genocide denier. Wild. Incredible attack on free speech. yvesengler.com/2025/02/18/i...

CD supports our long-time columnist and contributor Yves Engler and urges the Montréal police to drop these outrageous charges for social media posts opposing Israel's apartheid and genocide. 👇

The criminal charges laid against Montreal-based author, activist, and Mondoweiss contributor Yves Engler for responding to a pro-Israel influencer’s social media posts should concern anyone who values freedom of expression and the rule of law. https://buff.ly/4ia3ewm #Palestine #Israel
