The whole internet loves Larry the truffle hunting cat. *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you Larry is both AI, and also probably racist.

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth—browse our list for indie literature to read in celebration! Featuring @milkweededitions.bsky.social, @yesyesbooks.bsky.social, @uglyducklingpresse.bsky.social, @coppercanyonpress.bsky.social, @splitlippress.com & more indie publishers: www.clmp.org/news/a-readi...

The stories of enslaved people that the US education system is most comfortable with telling are those stories where enslaved Black people outsmarted their enslavers. Henry Box Brown mailing himself to freedom doesn't challenge the status quo. The Haitian Revolution does.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Becoming disabled made me realize pretty much anytime you see someone doing something that seems weird/lazy/selfish, it’s highly likely they’re disabled. And if there’s even a possibility (1 in 4 people are!), keep your judgement to your self ffs. The world is extraordinarily hostile to us already.

Happy Disability Wrath Month! Here are the 10 Principles of Disability Justice 💚 sinsinvalid.org/10-principles/

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

To this day, one of the most unbelievable facts we’ve ever published in @boltsmag.org: Over a 40-year period, *80* percent of death row convictions in Louisiana have ended up getting reversed.

Disability Wrath Month starts Wednesday

A House bill ostensibly aimed at protecting children will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers. interc.pt/3QQPUVw

I’m stuck in some circle of hell where my phone is constantly running out of space & the only option that still works to get photos/video off it is Google Drive, but anytime I move stuff to Google Drive it must render something back onto my phone(??) bc the storage never grows,

If you have #POTS and/or other types of dysautonomia and you take Corlanor aka Ivabradine, there’s a recall, check your pills: www.eatingwell.com/heart-kidney...

Here’s a little story about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. In April I had a procedure under anesthesia where an unmasked doctor made me sick. The immediate procedure recovery & acute infection both lasted ~a week, but the stress on my body caused an intense bout of post exertional malaise (aka a crash).

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

I don’t know man, fast casual shrimp sounds like a recession indicator to me

Ah, so they’re finally acknowledging the ongoing mass disabling pandemic without actually admitting that’s what they’re doing. I guess this was how it was always going to happen & it can’t happen soon enough

find your compassion. stay objective. read science that is written about by scientists and look for replication of results. also read this thread.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

I don’t understand how now, in a time where the material suffering around us is harder to ignore than in most of our lifetimes & the reasons why are as clear as they have ever been, we still have so many for whom the very easy position of ‘we can & should help people unconditionally’ is unfathomable

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Climate scientists will recognize this playbook. Controversialize science that isn’t controversial by platforming a small group of “skeptics” who generally have little to no expertise in the subject, in order to delay necessary action at the price of countless lives.

Tech CEOs in 2026: ‘We spent billions to hopefully one day have an ai that can make people feel like it’s portraying real emotions for tv, but we need way more money to do it’ Jim Henson in 1955: ‘yeah so I stuck some ping pong balls to a bit of old felt and called it Kermit’

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

For California folks, to support science research in the state: actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

Some good news: church grounds and graveyards across Ireland are becoming havens for birds, bees and bats as part of a biodiversity project inspired by Pope Francis. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Solstice blessings 🌞👋🌲

happy #smallpoemsunday! 💜 feel free to share small poems you wrote, or ones you love by other poets :) it’s Father’s Day, and also the solstice, so here are the ten lines that close Laura Gilpin’s poem “Coming Home”

Trump's DOJ released a dubious legal memo this morning that signals the Trump admin wants to force more people into psychiatric institutions via bad faith and incorrect interpretations of ADA, Section 504, and Olmstead. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the part that got me was from this bbc story: “had it not been for challenges like climate change and 200 years of visiting tourists compacting the soil around it - the tree could have lived for hundreds more years, as trees ’do not die of old age’.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

If lawmakers are serious about protecting children, they should roll back age-verification policies and start targeting the systems that incentivise mass surveillance. Read my latest print piece for The Guardian 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's an animating principle that public health practice is keeping people alive who should not be allowed to exist.

Geo-engineering seems to be forever an attempt to not do the very doable greenhouse-gas reduction things we can do, know how to do, are doing, but not nearly enough. To reject a proven, viable solution in favor of a wild gamble that could create its own catastrophes.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!! ✊🏾❤️🖤💚 🎥: @blairimani.bsky.social

Today I’m remembering the very last people in America to be freed from chattel slavery, who were not the Texans who learned of the Emancipation Proclamation on this day in 1865, but thousands of people in Delaware, Kentucky and New Jersey, who were freed by the 13th six months later.

It’s truly not that hard for kids to have “normal childhoods” while also protecting them from chronic illness. All we have to do is clean the air, make PCR tests widely available, & normalize not spreading infections—w/ public health messaging, paid sick leave, & not punishing kids for staying home

Viruses are bad. Tell a friend, clean the air, wear a mask.

I just called Congress using SolveME’s tool & I’ll try to submit public comment soon. This could be disastrous for scientific progress & especially for ME & Long COVID patients who can’t afford any research dollars to be flushed away mid-study, especially due to “changing political priorities”

I generally don’t mention ME, the disease that disabled the fuck out of me & has turned every day into an extreme feat of survival, to most doctors I see. They were taught to not believe in it or that it could be as severe as it is, so telling the truth makes them think you’re a liar.

Great article about the difficulties to write a novel about COVID-19: "Because we’re not living in a post-pandemic society: we’re living in a society that is constantly being shaped by a pandemic that never really ended. Art should try to tell that story" www.currentaffairs.org/news/we-stil...
