sigh. it’s once again that time. we just got hit with a huge moving-related bill that fell through the cracks two months ago. i’m looking to raise about $400 if possible to help keep my platonic partner and our 2 cats and myself afloat. anything helps, including shares. thank you! 💸💕

I don't know that folks who haven't been paying attention realize how extremely powerful social media has been for allowing Disabled people who are otherwise isolated and excluded for so many reasons to connect and share ideas and be heard.

You can't both shove Disabled people out of offline spaces and then say "online discussion of how not to be a harmful person isn't praxis". I mean, you can but you're being an asshole. And for many Disabled people, those offline spaces were never accessible. It's not just masking.

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day. Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

Bare minimum I have to have $500 TODAY otherwise my checking account closes! linktr.ee/jskylerinc

It's also very crushing how, even as a Disabled person, the very American thing of being forced to 'do or die' is much harder and results in a no-win scenario. This thread made me re-evaluate how Disabled people are treated.

At least half these reporters are Disabled, which provides them important insight and cultural competency. But nondisabled reporters can also put in the effort to learn how to cover disability well and respectfully. Check out discojourno.com for resources, or contact us for newsroom training. 9/

And for @motherjones.com, @metrauxjulia.bsky.social reported on California’s earlier failures in accessible disaster preparation, the importance of neighborhood care, the very different needs people with different disabilities have, and how any help is better than none. 8/

Megan also reported on the challenges Disabled folks face after disasters like the fires, like lack of electricity, inaccessible transportation, being able to find safe housing, and a need for continued connection with their communities. 7/ www.today.com/health/news/...

For @todayshow.com, health reporter Megan Holohan shared the minute details Disabled people have to prepare before disasters like the fires, and how Disabled residents still have to have their own personal emergency plans – in case official public entities don’t warn them or don’t show up. 6/

For @huffpost.com, @brittanywong.huffpost.com delved into the paucity of public/governmental emergency action to help Disabled residents, intersectionality impacting Disabled folks during disasters, and how localities and states can center Disabled participants in planning for future disasters. 4/

From Sonja’s piece: “Officials have known for years that disabled Californians are disproportionately likely to die in wildfires. The state released a scathing audit in 2019 detailing how emergency management agencies and other first responders were unprepared for the threat.” 3/

For the @latimes.com, Sonja Sharp wrote about a Disabled father-son duo who called for help that never came, Anthony Mitchell Sr. (an amputee wheelchair-user) and Justin Mitchell (who had cerebral palsy). Sonja focused on humanizing the Mitchells and interrogating why they were left to die. 2/

For Disabled folks, news coverage of the LA fires, which’ve now killed at least 28 people (many disabled), has been dark. Here’s a Top 4 🧵of (still too rare) skilled disability coverage from LA – so readers can see how climate change, and ableist neglect during disasters, impact Disabled people. 1/

Brittany linked to an important resource to share around: a spreadsheet of mutual aid opportunities to help Disabled people displaced by the LA fires. Please share! 5/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

🚨ALL OUT FOR WORKERS RIGHTS! Tomorrow in D.C. at the Department of Labor—show Elon Musk and his lackeys that workers are ready and willing to fight back!! 🚨

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

We are proud to announce support for #LA #MutualAid groups serving the 180,000 people displaced by the #LAFires! Over the past week we have organized a regular aid route that will deliver one full truck each week to sustain the local response. Help us keep it running: distributeaid.org/la-fires

love ur makeup @bricarmel.bsky.social but why do u look like im boutta run u over??

Surprise! Our Winter mini-doc Long Time Coming is complete and out. This is sort of a look back on why we do what we do, and how much this project means to all of us. Plus lots of release show and studio footage! Love yall, stay safe out there 🕊️ vimeo.com/946713258

If you haven't seen the sign, now you have.

Upon quick glance, I think it's hilarious that an artist who seemingly supported a settler-resistant politician (Yitzhak Rabin) has embraced settler-colonialism almost 30 years after said politician's death. That artist is Aviv Geffen.

Latest single and remix featuring vocals from @goodnightgirl.bsky.social is OUT NOW wherever the hell you get your music from! Enjoy! -🐦‍⬛ open.spotify.com/album/6NYYBa... distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

Remember this.

if @flavorflav.bsky.social can use fucking alt text, so can you

Straight up don't use blocklists unless you absolutely fully trust the person running it and their reasoning behind it

In spite of the study looking quite shit (see 🧵), this analysis is a major step for trans psychology — esp transfem psychologists — and for trans ppl everywhere. S/O @catgirlthyme.indieanthro.com for putting me on this.

Good morning everyone, and good morning to the people who've followed me How are you all doing?

Dropping any and all support for Aural allience is NOT going to damage the person who original caused the issues and is causing issues again because they are NOT PART OF THE LABEL AND DON'T GET ANY MONEY FROM IT dropping aural now is damaging everyone hard at work, trying to rebuild it.

PSA for newbies: Please include ALT text on your images. This is an inclusive space for blind and visually impaired people. Don't arrive late to the party and ignore a bunch of people. Also, please share this skeet, rather than liking it, to ensure the message gets delivered. Thanks!

If you aren’t going to read my whole long thread about my interactions with Bluesky over the deletion of Palestinian accounts at least read these last few posts ❤️

RE: AURAL ALLIANCE Finn is apparently trying to steal into and revert accounts that were previously agreed to have been passed off to the new operations. Some of these accounts have mine or the company's bank information attached. Pursuing legal options currently. Share this to spread the word.

Hey guys so the entirety of this year I have been struggling to pay rent, stay fed, deal with my electronics breaking, being out of work, getting it fixed, and losing time to cleaning up others' messes! It would help a lot if u grabbed some stuff off my bandcamp! hiimcase.bandcamp.com

The funny thing bout Thom Yorke walkin off at Melbourne: Radiohead have performed in Israel "for over 20 years" He thought of pro-Palestine protestors as "some fucking people" @ Glastonbury 2016 He's mates w Jonny and his wife, Israeli artist Sharona Katan - both pro-Israel/Zionist

good morning everyone, how are we doing?
