"Especially at a time when propaganda is rampant under the Trump 2.0 regime, it feels particularly crucial to ensure that those invested in Disability Justice are aware of what we owe to Brad Lomax and the Black Panther Party."🫂 www.equitableforall.com/articles/cel...

For incredible books by a deafblind author, meet the brilliant, incisive, searingly funny @snarkbat.bsky.social. You'll burn thru BEING SEEN v. quickly & then rush to preorder DEAR BLIND LADY. AND she's teaching on using Disability Justice wisdom to make all our communities better in a few weeks:

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is asking for help with funeral and burial costs, legal expenses, everyday living costs, and the wife’s needs, who has lost her lifelong companion and sole provider.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

First sonnet in a while, inspired by Diane Seuss

It remains true that the assertion of personal comfort/convenience at the cost of overall good is a fascistic impulse.

ICE has made 10,000 arrests in a five-day period— doubling its arrest numbers— and much of it hasn’t been reaching headlines. The U.S. has been wrapped up in festivities with several cities hosting the FIFA World Cup, including Seattle, and with Pride events and parades. Read more below & subscribe

I love this SO much! I constantly talk about how indie bookstores in NYC provide the safest spaces I've been in since 2020 (and that includes hospitals and doctors offices).

Carcinization is real

yes it's true there's news today but before I get into that can we take a minute to appreciate that 54 years ago this week Ornette Coleman played for the patients of the San Giovanni Psychiatric Hospital and the band took the sound out into the cosmos & it's beautiful. youtu.be/na_3r_bf5gA?...

Two different poets have now published two different books about a trip to Knareborough where they went insane chasing saints, speaking to stones, and absorbing its weird history, and neither of them mentioned that I was also there playing Pokemon Crystal on my atomic purple gameboy the ENTIRE time

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Sat down and tried to write a sonnet like Dianne Seuss. I think I failed at that pretty spectacularly but I still really like this one on its own merits. I'm still trying to get a better feel for sonnets so it was a good exercise.

Hear me out: a writing residency where I get to write anywhere else but the hell immediately surrounding me

you learned nothing, you practiced nothing, you diminished yourself, you outsourced your human capacity for growth, intelligence, and personal reflection to a fucking jerk-you-off machine

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

Probably one of my favorite scenes in all of television history. The directing, the writing, the performances, the editing, the whole mood of it is just extraordinary. youtu.be/FcsNhIozEPo

If you think COVID vaccines should continue to be available to all: take 5 min and add your comments at the link below. (Advice for what to say in the linked thread.)

Late stage capitalism is creating new disabilities in people and also endangering the lives of those who are and will become disabled. All forms of marginalization are disabling and once you’re disabled most people will think of you as disposable. We can’t fight fascism without disability justice.

One sickness in the last 5 years (aside from one COVID infection) here. Allergy & hay fever symptoms almost non-existent. Masks have made my life so much better.

Americans couldn’t handle Applebees being closed for a month or wearing a little mask on their face. Americans freaked out when we started imposing seatbelt and drunk driving laws. We are selfish, petulant swine.

The same method shows that the report itself was compiled by John Koenig and the compiler for the executive summary is Blake Sanchez.

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote that the MAHA movement does not want to eliminate chronic illness- it wants to eliminate the chronically ill. Since then, RFK Jr’s actions and statements have only reinforced my belief that his HHS will target disabled and sick ppl. www.thegauntlet.news/p/rfk-jrs-ma...

Got news of my first international publication yesterday can I get a HELL yeah
