A longtime Missouri health regulator testified Thursday that abortion clinics were subjected to heightened scrutiny that had little to do with health or safety concerns, acknowledging under questioning that the extra attention was not tied to a greater risk of noncompliance. #moleg #mogov

Perfect example of how to respond as an org when gently prompted to start doing alt text. 👍👍♥️ Other orgs and museums take note pls!

I’m still waiting on the “don’t tread on me” crowd to be as mad about armed masked men breaking down doors without warrants as they were about wearing a mask to Applebee’s…

Stop using ring cameras! Ffs. futurism.com/future-socie...

Lies, they're called lies. 

I'm so tired of working through the apocalypse.

Sweden becomes the first country to ban all AI music from their official charts! Huge win!

FYI– in my experience, most people do not realize this. 

STAR TREK HAS GONE WOKE! SESAME STREET HAS GONE WOKE! STAR WARS HAS GONE WOKE! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE HAS GONE WOKE! Nothing will ever be funnier to me than these dipshits getting mad about shit that’s been “woke” since it’s been in existence.

First thing. She won by almost 15%.

@gaelynnlea.bsky.social Hi Gaelynn! I'm facilitating a zoom soon to teach Unitarian Universalists about increasing accessibility at their congregations, and I'd like to play some of your awesome music via youtube. Is that ok with you? I'll encourage ppl to buy your albums and preorder your book!

I’m sorry what? ICE is harassing TSA? DHS on DHS violence!

Breaking from me and @cameronoakes.bsky.social: Virginia lawmakers voted today to enshrine abortion rights into the state's constitution. Now it's up to voters. VA, the only southern state that has not enacted restrictions since the fall of Roe v. Wade, is a haven for patients across the region.

One of the worst things about Missouri is that we continue to run the plays of other failed states. Work requirements for Medicaid. A sales tax to replace income tax. Abortion bans. School vouchers. Sending tax cuts to the wealthy. If the governor were a football coach, he would be fired.

OP-ED: Will Mayor-elect Mamdani’s New Era strengthen NYC’s workforce or continue to exclude disabled New Yorkers? amsterdamnews.com/news/2025/12... #a11y

Well, shit. I'm still going to keep dreaming! 

if I were at the Smithsonian I would be quietly storing away as much as I could at an off-site location and putting the records in a jar and burying them on the national mall

Just heard, "Click on the image directly below this text to access a screen reader #accessible pdf." 😞

Can anyone recommend a dating app that has more leftists on it? Bonus points if ppl tend to write more, & even more bonus points if it's accessible! ❤️🤞🏻

I try not to say "I can't believe people are still on X" thing because people have different reasons for things that I don't know but "by using this application you may completely incidentally encounter CSAM in a way that you are technically criminally liable for" feels like a big Moment to Consider

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

They shot an unarmed white woman in broad daylight. Imagine what they’re doing to undocumented people trapped in ICE camps. There’s sexual assault. There’s denial of medical care. There’s forced labour. There’s torture. More than 30 people have died. Abolish ICE.

Adding alt text so it gets more reposts.

Stunning alt text like this makes coming back to work much easier 🫶

Audre Lorde on the personal political power of each of us: "Power that is not used is dangerous, because power is never quiescent, it’s never neutral. If I do not use my power, however relative it is, if I do not find out what it is and learn to use it, someone else is using it."

CW Ableist Slurs If you’re mad about ableism & eugenics, great! You should be! You should NOT, however, use ableist & saneist language while doing so. You cannot stop eugenics with eugenics. Words like idiot, stupid, dumb, lame, etc are ableist SLURS. Stop using them, especially in our defense.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

Thank you, Nikita Gill.

REMINDER: For the first time in US history, the GOP is intentionally uninsuring millions of Americans

Periodic reminder: We win in the end.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

As We Move "As we move through life finding ourselves, always newly wise and newly foolish, we ask that our mistakes be small and not hurtful. We ask that as we gain experience we do not forget our innocence, for they are both part of the whole." —Orlanda Brugnola Voices from the Margins

The cissies are so demanding lol

You will not likely find many greater examples of consistent and unflinching insight, drive, grace, resilience, and strength of character through the challenges of life and death than Alice Wong. May we continue to honor her memory by continuing to honor the spirit of her work.

Faith communities are often portrayed as uniformly opposed to trans, intersex, & nonbinary people. The response to a recent landmark interfaith statement tells a different story — with 1,000+ people of faith and major religious leaders speaking out.

In case you don’t know this already: you don’t get to ask strangers why they are using literally any accessibility tool. Be it a mask, a wheelchair, glasses, a cast: it is actually not your business.

The problem with AI isn't that it has no morals or ethics, (it can't, or course)--but that the folks building it don't seem to.

When you say that “only the sick kids die from the measles”… you’re telling sick and disabled people that they’re expendable. You’re telling them their lives don’t matter. That vaccinating to protect them is too high a price. That’s eugenics. Also, healthy kids die from measles too.

First go around I heard a polar bear in a Chinese suit.

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

I think this is called a robbery.

Just finished Ancestral Night by @matociquala.bsky.social last night and I'm so glad I read/listened to it. I love the world, or rather, galaxy, technology, and characters so much, and I just wish I could spend more time with them.

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise. It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?
