It’s also incredible how many more places could be made meaningfully COVID-safer with a $200 air purifier and a $50 filter change every 6 months.

Donations for MA have dropped 50% since the ceasefire announcement

Schools are failing kids with long COVID, hurting them as much or more than the disease. “Lia’s story is one I’ve heard from dozens of families over two years investigating the impact of long Covid on kids. It’s a slow-moving spiral: first their health, then their grades, then their future.”

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward. "We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

This reminds me of how David Lynch said he wanted to keep working but couldn’t because COVID posed too great a risk & people stopped being willing to mask up to protect others. Ableism is an insidious evil in society & healthcare. It convinces us to abandon each other for profit & convenience.

¡Mi libro recibió el premio al mejor libro de la Asociación de Colombianistas! Todo mi agradecimiento a todxs lxs que han hecho posible este logro, especialmente a las comisionadas de género de COCOMACIA que colaboraron conmigo incluso en la portada, una ilustración de Hana Ramírez.

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

Multiple Deans, a professor, and now a university president have all lost their jobs simply because a professor acknowledged trans people exist in a course about young adult literature. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

One of the most important things when it comes to controlling what happens in the future is controlling what people are allowed to imagine today.

This is precisely why Covid-19 vaccines should be available free of charge for everyone in the UK. The government not purchasing enough vaccines to make this possible is the definition of a false economy. inews.co.uk/news/hospita...

@ucpnational.bsky.social’s United Cerebral Palsy's Conference on Latinos with Disabilities is next week (September 17-18)! As a disabled and immunocompromised Latina, I'm grateful for accessible conferences and this one is not only virtual but free.

excellent. MORE OF THIS.

I'm fascinated by the idea that genAI is going to be bigger than the industrial revolution, when it doesn't do, really, anything in the physical world or produce energy. It can't move goods, can't power homes, can't mine or recycle metal, can't make plastics or pharmaceuticals or food.

This is exactly the right way to think of this; precisely what I'm saying, yes

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/

Depressing to find my work has been used to train AI.

“Do not submit to anyone, including the plagiarized digital detritus called “AI.” Read and think on your own terms with your own words. Do not take your ability to do so for granted.”

“We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness. In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of “critical mass. It’s always about critical connections.” - Grace Lee Boggs

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

If you believe that ‘we’re all going to die,’ you’re correct. Now what? It’s a guarantee that you will die. What kind of life will you live in the meantime?

This is what the audience for a Long COVID conference looked like today. Notice anything? 😷

Researcher Recruitment Participants will be enrolled in a 6-month course (approx. 3 hours of work per month) on disability issues in research design and will be supported by a growing community of researchers interested in transformation of the field. tinyurl.com/counterHRI

Today is #SevereMEDay - a day we come together to especially take time to honor the 25 percent living with the most severe form of this disease and remember those who have died from ME. Myalgic encephalomyelitis is a complex chronic disease that presents with symptoms in multiple body systems.

The Sameer Project has been doing crucial work to get food into Gaza. Gaza is facing mass, created starvation- people are dropping in the street from lack of food and water. Never again is now. Donate if you can and spread the ord. linktr.ee/thesameerpro...

If it has ever been clearer that teachers and universities are simply an impediment to these companies seeking to make students a captive population and then making trillions off those students it’s here

Sometimes I think about how members of my communities show up every day to fight for our lives and each other and then people tell us we should be nicer to the feckless, cowardly assholes who've chosen to abandon us.

We're not "descending into" fascism in the U.S. We are living under a fascist regime already. I wonder when most people will catch up to this reality and what that might portend.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

While vaccine policy is being unraveled at ACIP, let’s not lose sight of what vaccines have already done. ✨Millions of lives saved. ✨Diseases wiped out. ✨Generations protected. We made an infographic to show just how much the world owes to vaccines. #VaccinesSaveLives

So many important things are discussed at conferences. When international travel is dangerous & science is under threat & research funding is being slashed & we know how bad flying is for the climate & we have technology to make it happen, the fact that all conferences aren't hybrid is wild. 🧪

We made several zines many years ago about policing and violence. They are available for free downloading. Here's our historical moments of policing & violence set: policeviolence.wordpress.com/historical-m...

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

What a shot.

While we’re on the topic of COVID, trauma, and schools… Researchers found a major source of pandemic-related trauma for college students was returning to in-person schooling before it was safe. It was an institutional betrayal. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Fun fact: autistic people don’t have to be exceptional or “useful” to deserve the right to exist and the right to dignity and respect, hope that helps. Shoutout to my high needs autistic folks and my fellow low needs, we are rad no matter what the worm controlled ghoul says

So weird to see colleges promoting their USNWR grad school rankings today like grad students aren’t being disappeared by their government.

ICE has already moved Rumeysa Ozturk to Louisiana in violation of a court order signed last night ordering her not to be removed from Massachusetts. This is rendition to avoid legal process and to torture detainees in Louisiana. apnews.com/article/tuft...

I’ve seen video of IDF bombing Nasser Hospital, where a friend of mine is on a humanitarian mission to treat patients. My friend survived the bombing but a teen patient he treated and who was set to go home today was murdered. Are you warmongers not tired and sick of this yet? This horror
