I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I've never seen a MoCA Toolkit that uses a picture of a giraffe.

When you're a hater, the real treasure is the enemies you made along the way.

It may seem contradictory that the "food is medicine" crowd (derogatory) cut SNAP benefits, but their reasoning has always been based in shaming/blaming people. It has never been about access to healthy food. It has always been about punishing people for having the gall to live with a #disability.

When I was a D1 student-athlete, I was strictly prohibited from betting on any sport at any level that has an NCAA championship. But members of Congress can trade stocks in the industries that they regulate through the policies they pass.

If you're a worm, I'm a worm.

Why does Kristi Noem look like that?

When I explain gastroparesis to people, my partner likes to lighten the mood by saying "what happens in the vagus nerve stays in the vagus nerve." It's funny because there's a whole framework that suggests the exact opposite, lol.

Is the US Open... golf? Or tennis?

I am BEGGING the person who created yard signs for Dennis Very to check the contrast before submitting another design.

A spending reform by any other name is still a Medicaid cut.

I cannot overstate how much I enjoy it when I'm on a Zoom and the facilitator says "I see we have some new workgroup members joining us today. Mal, what is your cat's name?"

MAHA in a nutshell.

I don't think I'm going to vote for the guy who my college slumlord wants to be the Mayor of Pittsburgh. www.pghcitypaper.com/news/corey-o...

This is the home of the USA Disappeared Tracker Dashboard. DM to let us know of a person to add to the tracker or to volunteer to help!

Its not that using ableist language is "offensive" alone, it is in that using ableist epithets, we normalize the idea that disability is a state of undesirable, laughable inferiority and otherness, and that disabled people deserve to the butt of the joke for some intrinsic reason--its insidious

Why is the first line treatment for gastroparesis girl dinner?

Celebrating my raise with an upper endoscopy, let's fucking gooooo

Medicaid cuts are not an incentive. Disabled people who need assistance to shower or meal preparation need this assistance, whether they're employed or not. In fact, people may need more assistance with these tasks to join the workforce.

False, Pennsylvania has two Republican senators.

Pennsylvania residents should leave a voicemail Senator John Fetterman TONIGHT and urge him to vote NO on the Continuing Resolution and the Cloture. Call now: (202) 224-4254 You will be asked to provide your name and contact information.

WHY ARE THEY IN FIVE GUYS?

there's nothing dignified about boot-licking

Spotted on Fox News: Linda McMahon and Laura Ingram. Competing to for the most coveted title in conservative politics "Least Prepared for Live Interview." Did LM think she would never have to learn what those pesky acronyms mean if she eliminates "the programs for disabled and uh needs?"

You don't realize how much you love to lie down after a meal until you're medically prohibited from doing so.

joke's on you I DID 'go cry about it' and compassion has made me more powerful

What we are witnessing in real time is eugenics. Eugenics is not a historical term or practice. From the sacrificing of high risk people during the on-going COVID pandemic to the attacks on trans people and their right to exist to ethnic cleansing via mass deportations.

The radioactive eggs they give you for a gastric emptying study are the LaCroix of eggs.

Killing Medicaid should be seen as the 9/11 of class war. Working people need to look at the ultra-wealthy and their enablers the same as they did the perpetrators of that other act of violence.

Let's compare! In 2024, there were 16 measles outbreaks in the US. These included a total of 285 cases and zero deaths. In the first two months of 2025, there have already been four measles outbreaks—124 cases and two deaths.

The world is so bad that social media has become an aversive stimuli. Scrolling no longer provides dopamine.

Taking away safe and effective treatments that allow folks to function and participate in society is Eugenics.

For those of us who couldn't get into the community briefing because IT IS FULL

I will lose my health care.

No, I definitely classified this as a red flag.

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately go to sleep?

The Secretary of Health and Human Services should know when to use prevalence and when to use incidence to measure disease frequency.

Using the term "juvenile diabetes" to describe all young people will all types of #diabetes should disqualify RFK Jr. This man is woefully unqualified to be the Secretary of HHS.

In the Senate Confirmation Hearing, RFK Jr. stated that most folks on Medicare are on Medicare Advantage Plans, which is untrue. Only about 1 in 10 Medicare recipients are enrolled in Medicare Advantage Plans (which are a huge scam, by the way).

The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division (which has the power to investigate/resolve ADA complaints and file ADA lawsuits in federal court) has been instructed not to file any new complaints.

Man Who Makes Baseless Statistical Assumptions is Really Into AI

You know the Sunday Scaries? Well, have you heard of the Friday Furies? Get it?

This is your reminder that Medicaid work requirements don't work.

Eugenics 4.0

If I die of a highly communicable disease like COVID or the flu, please remind my loved ones that I had underlying medical conditions—surely that will soften the blow.

Older people and those living with underlying medical conditions are worth protecting.

Disabled people in the U.S. have been saying "nothing about us without us" since the 1990s. We have not been searching for a "charismatic outsider."
