“In Trumpian times, we need joyful narratives around disability more than ever.” To mark the audiobook of Who Wants Normal? coming out in the US, I wrote a guest essay for @sfdirewolf.bsky.social on the shared fight for disability rights across the Atlantic. wp.me/p4H7t1-2njz

At a House testimony, RFK Jr said “I don't think people should be taking ... medical advice from me.” Agreed. And to ensure no one listens to his advice, he should step down from his leadership of Health and Human Services.

Please do not fall for these lies. RFK Jr has cut funding to Long COVID research, disbanded Long COVID committees, and spread misinformation about COVID vaccines and treatments. He can not be trusted to meaningfully advance Long COVID treatments, and will only exploit vulnerable communities.

Happy 🦂 full moon 🌝

The Trump administration is dismantling cancer research. The National Cancer Institute's Board of Scientific Advisors — a group of top researchers and clinicians tasked with guiding the direction of federally funded cancer research — has been entirely disbanded.

This is probably the most concise explanation I’ve seen for the reasoning behind a general strike. Tell your friends, tell your family, have the hard conversations. The way I got out of the conservative Christian bubble was thru people willing to speak up and have convos with me. You can be a part!

Happy new moon! 🌚 youtu.be/AltDm44ib5c?...

The first #EarthDay in 1970 saw 20 million people take to the streets in the USA It led to the EPA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act Now, more than ever, we need a mass movement for the living world

Happy Taurus season! ♉️ youtu.be/nz10fgG_v5U?...

The message from Baltimore, where Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s detention odyssey began

When you find a new song to obsess over and listen to exclusively for the next 10 days

So just read, Bloomberg, “the worlds wealthiest people added a combined $304 billion to their combined net worth - the largest one day gain in history of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index..” as a result of the stock gains after tariff paused. An awesome reason to sign your strike card? #generalstrike

The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

I don't trust anyone mocking people for being upset over the TikTok ban in the US. Saying stuff like they're gonna have to get a "real job" now. When many of the people that rely on that app are disabled and won't be hired for a "real job".

They really banned TikTok before they banned sending weapons to Israel during a genocide.

Our COVID response has almost completely ignored disability justice. This does not bode well for how governments will respond to the escalating climate crisis.

There are 395 incarcerated firefighters helping combat the wildfires in LA right now. They earn up to $26.90 over a 24-hour shift.

Happy solstice everyone 🕯️ www.patreon.com/posts/118257...

This is such a ridiculous and dangerous lie that it should instantly disqualify RFK for any position in government.

they wanted my snackies

disabled people are lonely by design because 1. we don't get enough money to engage in social outings 2. we can't marry or move in with people without losing benefits 3. there is not enough accessibility for us out in the world. 4. ableist attitudes.

you know you're a 90s kid when your vaccinations were mandatory and no one in your class got measles

I know a Taurus man when I see one

Anyone else been dealing with sleep disturbances this week?

Mars retrograde is gonna be uhhh interesting #astrologysky open.spotify.com/episode/2ZB0...

Now is a great time to get flu & covid vaccines before holiday travel & parties lead to an uptick. Flu cases are rising. Covid deaths are down compared to other yrs *but still outnumber flu*. Re-sharing my piece on why vax, masks & tests are the best defense. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

There's a lot happening in December! We currently have Mercury traveling retrograde for the first half of the month, and then Mars stations retrograde on the 6th prompting us to slow down & pull our energy inward. Then we have the Winter Solstice and a grounding new moon at ushers us into 2025 ❄️

If you have a good experience with a small business, it's so important to leave good reviews! Cause those who have complaints are often the loudest. It can also be the difference between them making a sale or not. So please remember to leave good reviews on their website!

Reminder that your favorite local indie bookstores make a lot of their yearly income during the holiday season. Go shop local today. ❤️

#cardoftheday focusing on what's going wrong is a choice—there's much more to see, if we care to look

In recent weeks, there have been reports of increasing bird flu hospitalizations, new mpox strains, deadly foodborne bacterial outbreaks, measles cases up 20%, and Long COVID prevalence may be much higher. And yet the US plans to appoint an anti-vaxxer as its top health official.
