Cis folks: Speak the fuck up and open your wallets. Our trans friends can’t fight this alone. It’s our job to be both noisy and generous right now.
Good morning 🐀🌲
Yes, but so can everyone else lol
“I guess it started as a form of masking. It’s easier to ask for adjustments in a French accent than it is to just tell someone to turn zeee bloody beeg light off.”

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.
“They can’t do that! The ADA protects you!”
People love to say this when you tell them you’ve been discriminated against or mistreated for being disabled
Just because someone technically shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean they won’t
Dealing with discrimination is a part of being disabled
Thinking about how it's entirely possible that the first person who said "if you step on a crack you break your mama's back" had OCD
I recently finished watching Star Trek TOS for the first time and something that always made me want to pull my hair out is humans from the past being terrified of Spock. Like, calm down. He is a man with pointy ears, slanted eyebrows, and a bowl cut, he's hardly a xenomorph.
Guys be reasonable. You can’t go round calling people racist just because they’re doing Nazi stuff. That will only make them more racist. I am very sensible and nuanced. Can I have a column in the Guardian please seriously I’ll say anything
Anyone who seeks power shouldn’t be allowed it. At this point, I’d be happy with everyone having a go for a week. We can, I don’t know, throw a bouquet or something.
People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”
The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around
To put her doubts to rest, Paige Thomas, 39, underwent a rigorous diagnostic assessment with clinical psychologist, Graeme Hart. This consisted of seven lengthy questionnaires and three diagnostic interviews, which Thomas voluntarily supplemented with a full autobiography.
Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
when I worked a 9-5 job, part time at a call center from 2005-2011, I was constantly questioned about my absences due to my disability; even though it took so much planning just to get there and back, and to not feel supported. A lot of disabled people cant work because they won't be supported.
Never underestimate the awkward exchange of a "you should make XYZ! I'd buy it!" and then showing the very thing existing as a buyable item and the other person disappearing
Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.
We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.
are you willing to face my goblin army
“I’m not sure when it started happening and whatnot. I think it just crept up on me - and before I knew it, I was saying it all the time, and whatnot.”

We’re all temporarily abled. Illness, aging, or injury comes for us all. That’s why care must be universal.
Accessibility isn’t a luxury. It’s what makes freedom possible.
