Hi y’all, Marianne is great and we love being able to pay fact-checkers good wages--please support if you can!

Have been fairly offline for the National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference, but hi yes I wrote this! And am deeply moved by the folks who have read and shared. Yes, we can be a part of resistance even while living with Long Covid, ME, or other serious illness.

And it’s a class issue!! This is why we MUST fight to fund housing and social services alongside medical research.

incredibly convenient to develop a chronic illness that makes one less heat tolerant just as the climate collapses

New rule, if you want to engage with Air Conditioning Discourse, you also have to send @sndesireecha.bsky.social $5

Can anyone in #Victoria or #Melbourne help Anna?

And she said a funeral director had written to her to tell her he'd changed his practice because of this. BUT I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. NO TRACE. Where did it come from? 2/

As someone who was transnationally & transracially adopted, I continue to be outraged & heartbroken for ACB's adopted children from Haiti. And like so many of us adoptees, these kids will learn one day and understand how she allowed this harassment of their people. I'm sending the kids so much love.

The post below needs to go viral. Someone's providing the vetted concrete way you can support the family of Kohen Wiley who was killed by cops in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi. If you care about that as news, you should care about helping the actual people impacted with what they need.

Missed this yesterday but would love to encourage folks to donate to @vashetc.bsky.social and also @hazie.bsky.social. Both are such gems in this community and deserve nothing but goodness and safety. I'll thread Hazie's link below Vee's.

Bahaha this isn't even close to the worst Publishers Marketplace posting I've seen

Worth noting: the experience of being a very ill person who is supported by a spouse is very different than being a very ill person who is solo in life. Running a household is a lot of work. I'm upset that I've had to do that even when so ill that I was too sick to listen to music or watch tv.

I don't know how to articulate how busy it is to be a full-time sick person I'm constantly behind on texts and DMs, and I'm sure people assume I'm cold or flighty or don't care about anyone else but myself, even though that couldn't be further from the truth

Periodically, someone reinvents an effective ban on the most marginalized accessing the social internet-- survivors of DV, trafficking, torture; political dissidents; LGBTQ ppl; undocumented ppl, unhoused ppl, sex workers, you name it-- then acts surprised that's what a real name requirement does.

Can y’all help give Hazie a boost? 🩵🙏 First wave long haulers are really struggling out here!

My mayor still Muslim My bagel’s still Jewish My Congressman's housing? Christian nationalists subsidized Knicks in five

you too, can be a helper. please, fuck, we are tired.

These so-called "therapeutic communities"--which share many features with US "troubled teen" programs--are absolutely state-sponsored child abuse. Shame on Lula for legitimizing Bolsonaro's model.

This women's group wanted to raise £1,000 to help the victims of last night's attacks in Belfast. It's already at £56,000. chuffed.org/project/1854...

This is unprecedently bad, right? (Well like, obviously we all know what the precedent is, but has there been anything this bad post-GFA?)

27 people were made homeless after Tuesday night's violence in Belfast, including children.

Will they use it to spy on the residents like NYCHA has been doing?

disease and surveillance, two tools of empire. mask up

Fellow Millennials, or maybe Gen Zs too: How many of you have a ghost in your life, of one or more specific person who died of AIDS before they got to be the queer adult you needed? I wonder what a compilation of little essays about these loved ones we never met would look like...

New York City “emergency” subway exits now take 10 seconds to open to prevent fare evasion. This is triangle shirtwaist factory level bullshit. How is this allowed under fire code?!

Ugh I guess I probably do need to read the Wired article, if it's as egregious as everyone is making it sound...

my main thought on Pride month, as someone who should basically be neither seen nor heard from on it, is that I have seen many times firsthand the raw deal that trans people get in media and publishing, and it needs to be everyone's job to fix that. It's real, material, and unacceptable

in conclusion, while there are no children's products this year - and we all fucking know why not - it's hard to imagine an adult getting much amusement from a "Pride Bingo" set so half-assed that the word "pride" is a square and it's not the free space

Help 😂

Lol, a mood

Today in "Will Stancil doesn't understand math"

Not getting my hopes up till I've read the whole thing (which will probably take a while given my current levels of cognitive fog), but excited to work through this

Emi Koyama is an OG of trans, Asian, disabled sex worker and anti violence organizing who is battling cancer; the org she started, Aileen's, provides barrier free support to street sex workers on the Pacific Coast Highway. Donate to keep Aileen's going while Emi fights cancer. gofund.me/cd8374855

Much respect to all the folks who have been out at Delaney Hall yesterday and today.

Definitely not arguing about Homer and am once again glad not to be on the other site, but I will state the unequivocal fact that Lupita Nyong'o is so gorgeous it hurts my teeth to look at her and I truly cannot imagine living a life so bereft of beauty one would not fall at her feet.

These are my neighbors and they've been doing essential work for years (also kindly hosted a masked mpox vaccine clinic that I helped organize back in 2022!). Please support them if you can, or stop by and let them know their presence is valued 🥬

Anyone with a Publishers Marketplace account wanna take one for the team?

New rule for DoorDash discourse should be that no one is allowed to comment if they haven't first sifted through at least 100 listings for apartments over $1500/month that start with "PLEASE READ NO KITCHEN NO KITCHEN NO KITCHEN"

1) Literally all of us in the CC community already knew this, but I guess I'm glad it's getting formally studied 2) Yet another reason that poverty is a public health hazard, environmental justice is health justice, racial justice is health justice, etc.

to be fair, I would tell Dr Oz to fuck off and leave if I saw him irl, so maybe he isn't the best judge

the UK now has the least transphobic Health Secretary in years (nobody)

And THIS is why we need to be screening for hypermobility disorders (among other reasons)

I don’t think even most advocates and pwME understand how profoundly limited in options you are at extremely severe. All coping mechanisms make your situation worse in the long term. All you can do is lay completely still in the dark all alone with all senses blocked, not thinking anything. 1/3
