Today is Disability Day of Mourning.

Today we remember & honor all the disabled people murdered by their caregivers, their loved ones, & our society.

We have lost SO MANY in our community this year alone due to eugenics…

They deserve to be remembered.

We must stop more from joining their number.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

it’s for exactly this reason that my library network’s catalog system does not retain patron borrowing data, or even permit the creation of linked “family” library accounts.

the “free” in “free public library” means, among other things, “free from government interference.”

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know:

you are loved

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Alligator Alcatraz Detainees Tortured in Small 'Box,' Amnesty International Says Migrants were allegedly sent to what detainees described as a four-by-four-foot "box" as punishment.

“two people in my cell were calling the guards, telling them that I needed my medication. Ten guards rushed in & threw them to the ground. They were taken to the box and punished just for trying to help me”

Amnesty International describes “the box”, a torture device used at the Everglades facility

Image of a crude line drawing portrait of Maximillian Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh. His nose is very thin and long, his mouth is tiny, and his visible eye is comically proportioned. He looks relatively on-model, all things considered

My spouse and I have been watching through Yu-Gi-Oh for (more or less) the first time, and I’m struck by how much Pegasus looks exactly like this in every other shot

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
