Martindale - Brightwood We're 15 minutes into this meeting about the data center proposed for 25th and Sherman The Community is here Indy City Councilor Ron Gibson has not made an appearance yet

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Hi everyone, I’ll be live-reporting from today’s Indianapolis City-County Council’s Parks & Recreation Committee’s Budget Review & Analysis meeting for #indydocumenters ! @indydocumenters.bsky.social @mirrorindy.org

Hi. Stop letting your kids get Covid, I absolutely beg you as a fully grown adult who can’t believe how little of a life I have after 3 years of LC. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/h...

Summary for September 2025 There were 79 incidents reported: * 48 involved pedestrians * 31 involved bicyclists SIX INCIDENTS RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY. TWO INCIDENTS RESULTED IN DEATH. #SafeStreetsIndy #Indianapolis #HoosierSky

I keep hearing people say that this is just that time of the year when everyone has a cough, and though I am not very old I am old enough to remember that this has not always been a time of the year when everyone has a cough.

NOT A DRILLLLLLL IT WORKS!

Seeing posts from fellow Ohioans upset that Bluesky is now requiring age verification. That’s how much they managed to slide this in under the radar (in a budget bill), from a statehouse much more conservative than the state’s voters. www.daytondailynews.com/local/ohios-...

Particularly Covid infections of the mother within the second and third trimesters. Often SARS-CoV-2 placentitis can occur among many other complications. Wear N95 around all of your pregnant friends, family, and coworkers at all times.

This administration is all for the eugenics via “natural selection”. You’ve just gotta tough it out, if you die you die. What’s a little pain? So what if you get complications or become disabled? If it was meant to be it was meant to be. Bullshit.

A reminder to follow journalists, today and every day. If you say you're going to have disability representation in an article on a disability topic, interview a disabled person, not a non-disabled parent. Their perspectives don't count as disability representation.

you should be asking yourself why you want a cure for autism. be honest with yourself. what is it that makes you believe autism and autistic people should not exist. and side note: tylenol does not cause autism

tuned in on n off to the ~autism announcement~ today but ngl it was a specific kind of rough that only comes from knowing what it feels like to have a medical condition explicitly implicated by corrupt contemptuous cowardly greedy men pantomiming the most mind-numbing hollow simulacrum of government

If, when you read “When they start taking away drugs” you think ‘pfft, no way that could happen’ It literally already has. People in power decide your ~little needs~ aren’t as important as whatever else they can do with your meds. And they do it!!!!! Ask me how I know!

Over the last 5+ years, the COVID-fighting “toolkit” should’ve expanded, not narrowed. Now, RFK Jr's attacks on the COVID vaccines throw into harsh relief the reality that we only have one "tool" left. Where is the institutional mitigation? My latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/with-rfks-...

Feels like a good day to say @mirrorindy.org is an independent organization for Indy, by Indy. Our Documenters are Indy residents we pay to take notes at public meetings and then we make those notes public. If you donate by 9/22, your $ will be matched. mirrorindy.org/donate-indy-...

not just "some guy" he is a literal charter school hack. oops how did that second image get there

Under the agreement, ICE will pay Indiana a rate of $291.94 for each detainee per day — far higher than the $42 per day Indiana pays county sheriffs to house state inmates, and nearly four times the $75 cost for current inmates at the Miami facility. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/09/17/b...

normalizing mask wearing makes criminalization, from this kind of surveillance to mask bans, way harder. you wearing a respirator to the grocery store, on transit, in healthcare is a practice of solidarity with the most marginalized in your community on more than one level.

Frankly, find it frustrating the 2-18 recommendation. It doesn't reflect IMO the harms of Long Covid, which the only way you're not going to get is to not get Covid, which vaccines reduce the risk of (as does masking, clean air etc)

As COVID-19 vaccine recommendations change under RFK Jr.’s leadership, we have a guide for Indiana patients about this year’s shot. So if you’re wondering who’s eligible and what’s required, check out @mirrorindy.org: mirrorindy.org/indiana-covi...

Does the state's Open Door law apply to the ABA working group? indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/09/16/d...

A small-scale data center in Martindale Brightwood? A company has bought 13 acres for that purpose, @taylorwooten.bsky.social reports (paywall) www.ibj.com/articles/unk...

Hi everyone, I’ll be live-reporting from today’s Indianapolis City-County Council Metropolitan & Economic Development meeting for #indydocumenters ! @indydocumenters.bsky.social @mirrorindy.org

It’s Disability Voting Rights Week! People with disabilities are a powerful voting bloc, but too often face barriers to the ballot. DVRW is about breaking down barriers, celebrating our community, and building power together. @aapd.com www.aapd.com/disability-v...

We are rallying with the community to fight data centers tonight! We are digging in to the problem of security at affordable housing complexes tomorrow! My latest constituent email: www.jesseforindy.com/emailarchive...

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

Hundreds of Indy teens walked out of school today — some of their teachers encouraged it. Why? Gun violence. Every student I talked to had a story to share about how it's touched their lives. I hope you'll spend some time w/this story. Teens want us to listen. mirrorindy.org/indianapolis...

hell yea

There is a lot for disabled people to be enraged about. I partnered with artist Finnegan Shannon on #DisabledRage public art. All graphics are downloadable & feel free to share and wheatpaste all over your community disabilityvisibilityproject.com/disabled-rage/

sapphicsocialindy isn't here on bsky, but I wanted to share the amazing masked event they hosted at Black Circle tonight~ it's the first night out I've gotten to have like this in yrs 😅 I hope folks around the city see how successful masked events can still be & that we'll see more like this 😷💚

Just reminding everyone to retest in a couple of days after your sickness symptoms starts. On Covid rapid tests, it take 3-6 days after symptoms have started to get that first positive test on average. This has been true for the past few years.

We are still asking for continuous support and donations towards our survival here we call up who ever can give a hand help and also those who can share to different people who can help 🏳️‍🌈

another week, another person i’ve known for years who stopped masking hitting me up for doctor recs. they’ve got longcovid. i always give as much as i can. illness is not punishment for not engaging in mitigation behavior in an environment lacking systemic safety, it is simple cause & effect.

Hoosiers warn of consequences as feds tighten COVID-19 vax access

this kind of figuring out how to survive after systemic abandonment is what built mask blocs

Indy residents packed a community center room last night to oppose a rate increase from AES. No one's testimony was more compelling than Darcy Staser's. She's been living without electricity for months. But two strangers stepped up to pay her overdue bill. mirrorindy.org/aes-indiana-...

Indiana University has ordered a pro-Palestinian organization at its Bloomington campus to "suspend all activities immediately."

i think non-disabled folks can easily convince themselves that the future is knowable. at least generally speaking. but disabled folks don’t have that luxury and we’ve had to build the skill of accepting the unknown. that doesn’t mean we’re 100% okay not knowing, but we know how to cope.

This is endlessly frustrating about current activism. Disabled people are INCREDIBLE organizers and have fought for successful change for generations. And yet these days y’all leave us out of your activism and refuse to create accessible spaces. But look at what actual solidarity can accomplish:

This is the lawsuit that Lawrence HS doesn’t want you to read about. We can see why they’d like to keep it under wraps. Let’s not let them. Streisand Effect, anyone?
