The 5 anti-trans decisions by the Supreme Court released on Trans Day of Visibility had to be maliciously planned. Also, the implications and consequences of these decisions will reach far, far, far beyond trans people. They are fucking up healthcare and ethics for everyone. This is devastating […]

it's technically trans day of visibility, but at this point in time, at least in the USA, I'd like to NOT be visible to the federal gov. k? thx bye. #tdov #stopallgenocides #transrights

We, the people, deserve more super-fast trains, especially Maglev trains. We deserve public transportation that's well-funded and well maintained. We deserve walkable (and wheelable) cities with ramps rather than stairs. We deserve clean water, clean air, clean soil, and healthy parks. We […]

People keep telling me to "meet people where they're at" or "listen to people and they'll listen to you." But they only say this when I write about transphobia and/or ableism and/or racism... ... which makes me wonder: will these people meet me where I'm at? Will they listen to me before they […]

Stuff I wrote that feels relevant: My Accessibility Zine covers some USA disabled history, definitions of terms, the spaces theory, and security culture: https://reshapingreality.org/2025/06/17/accessibility-zine-completed-and-ready-for-download/ Analysis of the narratives we tell ourselves […]

[mention of genocide] As a homebound disabled person, it's good to see No Kings Rallies and those fighting against fascism. I do wonder if those people are willing to fight for trans and/or disabled people too. So few tend to show up as we fight back against the anti-trans laws and regulations […]

Pain really sucks.

What I learned today about the HP bullshit is: 1. Some people can acknowledge JKR does bad things but they struggle to grieve and let her content go. Not grieving is hurting them and those around them. 2. Some people proved they do not care about trans people. They used logical fallacies to […]

Regarding Harry Potter and JKR's anti-trans crusade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R8Rl9qucII An excellent analysis that justifies my post calling for boycott of JKR: https://disabled.social/@Aaidanbird/116294513543754105

I keep forgetting to turn off quotes. It makes finding posts in a thread difficult. :/

It's ironic that people end up in two camps in regards to my post about Harry Potter: 1. People who refuse to acknowledge their actions have real consequences, so proceed to claim that shaming folks for buying and supporting Harry Potter is trans people being ridiculous. They refuse to […]

@janefriedman is reporting that the amount authors will receive in the Anthropic book settlement has gone up because the class-action lawyers have reduced their fees. It was $3,000 per book (usually split 50/50 with your publisher), but now it's likely to be $3,700 per book (before split) […]

Note to cis people: If you watch and support Harry Potter series, you are funding the anti-trans crusade that is killing people like me and stripping away our rights. Experts have warned that in the US and UK the steps toward genocide against trans people are accelerating. I ask: Do you care […]

My younger cat, Nebula, died Saturday of the same cancer that my beloved Quark died from in November 2024. I only had Nebula for a year and four months, and did all I could to care for her increasingly bad health. She had seemed to stabilize for a little bit, but then her health just crashed. I […]

Consider aliens from a planet with a dense atmosphere. Visible light is useless. Instead they use a sensory system based on lasers that burn the surface of the things they are looking at while they analyze the results of the combustion. Like sonar, but with fire.

I'm starting to feel a bit better, so I do plan on hosting a poll to check what Disabled.Social members would like for character counts. This is just to say it's still on my task list. I've just not been well enough to focus on that and finding/training more mods. Our tech lead says there's […]

RE: https://caneandable.social/@WeirdWriter/116154197167418141 Excellent reminder that Accessibility is for everyone. Which is why we need more accessible apps for disabled folks! When we lift up our most vulnerable, it lifts us all up.

[Christian bullshit about Iran] RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116168167917250951 Me: The Left Behind Series isn't the Bible. You know that, right? US Military Commanders: ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his […]

I want to flip off all the security experts who pooh-poohed women having concerns about being tracked by their phones while they sought reproductive healthcare. We weren't concerned enough you dumb fucks -- and by dumb fucks I mean nearly all white men who […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Natalie Hausmann: #voting is still not accessible for the #disability community. The GOP’s SAVE America Act would magnify suppression #Elections #republicans #saveact #discrimination https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/voting-disability-community-access-gop-save-america-act-suppression/

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I'm very ill. had more tests to rule out stuff, and coming online is just a litany if more and more genocidal policies oriented at trans and queer folks I'm so fucking tired and scared check on your trans and queer buddies we're not ok

I believe that the #accessibility of everyday tech for #screenreader users is on a slow but consistent decline. Operating systems, browsers, messaging apps, email clients, even command line tools. These things are not being replaced with more #accessible alternatives, but nor does the […]

No to war.

[discussion of anti-trans Kansas law] Kansas is starting a bounty hunter system to stop trans people from using public restrooms that match their gender identity. They also demanded the driver's licenses be turned in for all trans people, and if caught driving trans people will be fined and […]

illness makes it so hard to write. i have all these ideas for essays and stories, but i am just feeling awful and in pain. and just hazy. I know i'm still recovering from the hospital visit and that infection, but ugh, it is just exhausting. The task list I have for the server keeps getting […]

This entire saga with C.Diff taught me two important things: 1. Never take my Crohns medications with antibiotics. It suppresses my immune system and lets C.Diff take hold. 2. When I'm sick, I discover the truth of people -- whether they are actually good people or were hiding how cruel/callous […]

World human rights report says U.S. is undermining LGBTQ+ rights worldwide - Because of course they are. Surprised? I didn’t think so. The #trumpregime has made cruelty and hate a centerpiece of the #trumpadministration - scapegoating vulnerable minority populations. #lgbtq #lgbtqia […]

I think what I find most frustrating in this fight to stop fascism, is how #disabled people, especially homebound ones are being left behind and trapped in the whims of a hostile state. We could form rapid response groups to meet this need, but Leftists are failing to do so or fail to include […]

Just got notified from the American Astronomical Society that their survey on anticipated impacts of Reflect Orbital (whose business model is "we will beam sunlight down to Earth at night because woo space”; never mind the titanic impacts on circadian rhythms of every living thing on the planet) […]

When I encounter people who say socialist theory and/or anarchist theory doesn't have any thoughts on disabled people, I find this disingenuous at worst and uninformed at best. Disabled socialists existed throughout the last two centuries. What I find frustrating is that people will claim the […]

RE: https://social.goose.rodeo/@cats/116021688337837554 It's a Catacorn!

I’m so bothered by all of the people who are supposedly on the ‘good’ side who use these things against their political opponents: - making fun of people’s accents (make fuck, get green card is not funny even if you are mocking a horrible person) - making fun of people’s weight - making fun of […]

...horrifying message without context, thank you

[US Pol: "ICE aren't our police."] ... or you recognize that state violence is still state violence when the person being beaten doesn't share your politics or has and accent, or isn't white. Do we all have rights or not? If you think everyone ought to have the same rights. That police […]

[US Pol: "ICE aren't our police."] I've heard many liberals say things along the lines of "ICE aren't real police" this often goes hand in hand with "ICE is poorly trained." This can feel like a safe bit of middle ground. You aren't one of those radical crazies who are always so critical of […]

I forgot I was bridged to bluesky. Folks on bluesky didn't read my entire message since the bridge truncates it. Dude, Abolish ICE. Fuck Trump. I need to unhook from bluesky. Folks there are just irritating and don't actually read the entire post. They just react and assume.

There was an protest against ICE in my city. Some folks claimed Trump supporters overran it -- except I had a friend who was actually there and shared pics of the protest with me. The trump supporters were a dozen at best and there were HUNDREDS of anti-ICE protesters. I'm honestly irritated […]
