It's wild that me talking about the intersection between disability and race has so many white disabled people upset. I'm not minimizing your experience when I talk about the added struggles of being Black on top of being disabled. I face extra barriers. I'm allowed to talk about it.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Too many healthcare workers do not take the risk of bedsores seriously for people with very severe ME. Bedsores can kill. And yet I've heard numerous comments like "she's not really bedbound because she's not paralyzed" and "I've seen you turn over by yourself before so I shouldn't have to turn you"

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.

I think a lot about how Dora Richter lived. And I think a lot about the trans influencers who make money off of selling us doom, probably contributing to some of our people's suicidality. Many people view trans rights in terms of apocalypse. It's an alluring narrative, but a dangerous one.

Correct. Mangione got sanctified by the Left cause of the target but everything about his online presence suggested he was libertarian on the right. We have to understand that the audience is ALL of us and it's all performative to create Discourse and dissonance.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Sea Level - Postgame show: Seattle clinches first postseason birth since 2022 on the back of Josh Naylor https://www.sealevelbr.com/p/postgame-show-seattle-clinches-first

Don’t pity me because of my disability or my prognosis. Pity me because my team is losing to the fucking Rockies

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

I want a mariners shirt but I don’t want anything referencing butts on it. This should not be this hard

As somebody who grew up in the Bay Area I just gotta say: 2025 mariners is giving 2010 giants

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Tragically this is untrue. It is legal in most US states to pay autistic people a subminimum wage. Autistic and other developmentally disabled people are especially vulnerable to exploitation within workplaces (including supported employment and sheltered workshops)

Oh my god you have to see how the Mariners just won this game

Therapist: fashwave Jon Stewart isn't real and can't hurt you Fashwave Jon Stewart:

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

Boosting: An immunocompromised Black queer disabled woman with Long Covid needs support raising $860 for a new apartment after living in a motel since being evicted. I don't know this woman personally but this is such a common situation and it would be great if folks could help her get to safety.

reporter whose whole Thing is covering protests: no it’s not, it’s a very basic safety recommendation as we see an increase in nonprofits/501c3s using signups to add people to email lists which can easily be subpoenaed or seized by the state. this take scans as pretty manipulative tbh

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

I think a lot of people who are angry with me for not being willing to say the shooter was definitely a groyper are doing so because they just associate all shitty memes as groyper culture. This is incorrect! For the love of God, read this and realize more than one group exists.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social is there an explanation for this

It’s funny my mom is also on a campus speaking tour this week but since she’s talking about literature and depictions of different kinds of families in books and her article about sibling relationships. I really don’t think anybody is going to shoot her

You all have no idea how ready for apples and pumpkins I am. I need a big pumpkin latte and an apple cider donut and a fucked up book to read

Thinking. I remember in fall 2023, I thought I would die before 2024. This time in fall 2024, I thought I would die before 2025, albeit for a totally unrelated reason. This year, barring me doing something incredibly stupid in traffic, I’m pretty much certain I’m making it to 2026

Cannot stop thinking about “the sink helps us with water”

the rightwing loves to be like “this is the moment we become the nazi party”

Neo-Nazis, who despised Charlie Kirk and frequently called him a tool of Israel and the Jews, are widely suggesting, without evidence, that Jews and Israel played a role in his assassination.

Come on Seattle

I wanna go to the ocean

I’ve been napping so much lately. I just keep drifting off and then oh shit

"zaunite viktor" HE. IS. ALWAYS. ZAUNITE. LIVES AND BREATHES THAT CITY. ZAUN RUNS IN HIS VEINS. HE INFORMED THE REGION AND VICE VERSA. dont attribute him to the city that took everything from him what a cruel and unusual punishment

Gerisuits and other age simulations are no better than disability simulations. They don’t have the outcomes they purport, and we could just, you know, listen to older and disabled people about their experiences and believe them? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28287757/

You ever get so pissed you give yourself a tension headache?

ive said this before but even well-intentioned cis people see transition as a luxury that is painful to revoke the rights for but not existential. i bet these hospitals would file lawsuits about this if it was about literally any other evidence-supported medical procedure

I try to be the chill friend who doesn’t talk about my health/disability/mortality but damn if it doesn’t come up a lot

lavender ribbons

Weird thing about becoming a wheelchair user: when you run into someone you know out in public, they never recognize you first

DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards

Hear that? It’s the sound of M’s fans crying and throwing up

He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.

I need to delete instagram. Baseball instagram is the dumbest shit ever and all it does is piss me off. But all the teams and players are on it (so’s my entire extended family and it’s my only point of contact w them but)

The AL MVP race is crazy because Yankees fans are all forgetting half the game. You’re only on offense 50% of the time. And how is Judge spending the other 50%? Rhetorical question.

High on medmaryjane. Crying. Watching the giants play the cubs.

Nothing in these photos is less than 80 USD btw. These people are spending multiple thousands on guns
