In-person protests—with their noise, limited seating, and unmasked crowds—can be inaccessible to disabled people. While some may grimace at using Zoom for social activities, for many chronically ill and disabled people, having the platform continue to be available is a relief.

I'm waiting for Valheim to make this permanent

Ok but hear me out - what if people bought each other heirloom beans for special occasions? They're nice enough that you don't really buy them for yourself, but they're a *really* lovely treat if you didn't pay for them! Plus we could support small businesses.

This message brought to you by the fact that my house is almost 80* and I'm not mad about it.

Planning to spend my whole summer in cute spandex booty shorts and ain't nothin y'all can do to stop me.

It still weirds me out that the severe weather sirens play tunes and talk here.

In "Safety Training With The Cupcake Girls," @cheriedeville.bskyverified.social and Sofia Rose give adult creators the information they need to protect themselves — with real life advice from creators who have been there. Great work by @cupcakegirlsorg.bsky.social and Aylo.

This is why I kept and maintain my gutterpunk youth. You never want it to be necessary to fuck shit up, but when it comes time what you want is some people rooted in good old-fashioned disaffectation with a healthy sense of humor and a complete lack of respect for respectability. People>property

Noncompliance is a powerful weapon! Czechoslovakia’s velvet revolution, after Soviet invasion in ‘68 When a Soviet comes to you 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing.

Grey eyelashes seem like an aspect of aging no one wants you about. Not a terrible one - just a surprise.

How long can a human read utility sink reviews and stay sane?

I'm trying to decide if there have been more individual and community catastrophes and tragedies this year than usual, or if the levels of panic just keep building until we die. It's been a very long year for everyone already and I'd appreciate if things could slow down.

I love waking up to the sound of birds chirping in the spring 🥹

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

Me: I'm going to read a lil bit before bed and go to sleep early, fix my sleep schedule. Also me: reads for almost three hours on accident

Can't get over how beautiful this hellebore is, so just posting it everywhere I can

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Help, I accidentally made decaf sleepy tea this morning instead of my usual black tea + mate blend. Falling asleep at my desk.

Performing dance for the first time in ten years tonight. At least I'm lookin' cute!

Found a lone rhinestone on my front porch as I walked into my house, which really just describes this whole week.

So great to see groups practicing community care. We need to do this more than ever in light of mass dismantling of government institutions.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

I was going to complain about the joys of home ownership (now a leaking toilet), but I also got to unload my dishwasher this morning and that magic still hasn't worn off 🥹

A bonus doodle from awhile back that I didn't post

Through spite, we can do all things. Especially on Mondays.

I've got to stop opening my home office window while watching my friends stream videogames. We're giving the kids getting off of school a linguistic education they didn't ask for 😂

Went to tidy my little free library this afternoon and was interested to see what had been added or taken out. Lots of the heavier nonfiction subjects are still there, but they're now being kept company by a stack of romance paperbacks!

It's been a few years and I'd forgotten how good the Cook Out milkshakes are

Having been productive for the last 12 hours, it is time for me to turn into the human equivalent of a mashed potato. My to-do list disagrees 😮‍💨

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Late yesterday, Trump issued an executive order that terminates HHS's Long COVID advisory committee. The committee's focus was bringing perspectives from outside government to inform action of the Executive Branch on Long COVID and other infection-associated chronic conditions.

This is outrageous. US should not destroy $500 million in COVID tests! Hundreds of people in the US are still dying every week from COVID. People are still getting COVID and then Long COVID and other serious health issues from COVID. COVID wastewater is high. COVID is not over. wapo.st/42VLGQh

My evening

A rare Saturday morning off and sourdough discard that needs to be used

This is an incredible event going on today - talks and volunteer transcription to celebrate Frederick Douglass' birthday

@douglassday.bsky.social is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Transcribing will be done on Crowd.loc.gov, a citizen science platform led by the the Library of Congress in an effort to make these histories more widely accessible & searchable. #DouglassDay #DigBlk

Had someone ask me today if I was gluten-free "because of my health" (waving at my mask). Ma'am, my desire to not get influenza or long COVID has nothing to do with my diet, but yes I will take some blueberry muffins.

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

In the early 1900s, Black drag was happening in Lexington from the Woodland Park Auditorium to the Lyric Theatre. queerkentucky.com/black-queer-...

Multiple doc friends are saying: influenza A cases are both higher than usual and they're seeing worse cases than usual. Wear a mask in public! If you haven't been for awhile, it's time.

Also, please be prepared for sourdough nonsense. I post to social media as much to prove to myself that I'm making progress

It's lazy potato Saturday, we're just over here doing our best

This is good advice in general - use documentation and bureaucracy to frustrate/stall malicious orders, and if someone is trying to force you to do something without documentation, it's often because they're being nefarious

Life lessons with Greta: it's ok to not be an expert at everything, your life will actually be significantly easier if you just call a plumber instead of trying to teach yourself a new trade.

if you've ever bullied a cable company into lowering your bill i actually think this is your big moment!!! does your insurance company intend to withdraw coverage for trans minors?? will your school board be changing policies? your city council, your college, your employer, your library board--

This is what the perfectest baby looks like.

Needed sun but also a nap, so fuck it - I'm taking a nap in the sun
