Capitalists Were Never Going To Protect Your Healthcare When Your Disablement Is For Profit When I first began my career in disability advocacy as a professional, I was bright-eyed, believing that I would be working with the most vocal supporters of DEI and who rallied behind diversity as…

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional.

Reminder that this is my NEW new account, and I’m still looking for my folks. ♥️

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.

If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

My mother and both my siblings have been incarcerated, my sister for most of her adult life. I can’t understate the importance of letters to an inmate, a thread to the outside world. I recently found this resource that helps you find a prison penpal, esp important around the holidays: wireofhope.com

Democrats' response to the disastrous Trump / Senate GOP proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with health savings accounts must be "sure, we'll vote to repeal the ACA. . . and replace it with Medicare For All"

Leftists really have to prioritize public libraries in budget fights.

There's a shortage right now and I'm dying. I'm jumping from task to task like I'm on some strange game show

Woo! I felt like this gif adequately shows how I feel about this.

I deleted my account, recreated my account, deleted, remade, got banned by BlueSky, got unbanned… You’re probably not following this account. I’m a bit wishy-washy when it comes to social media. I believe I’m back for good. I have a lot to share soon.

I hate when there's a medication shortage because I kind of need the medication to function. And not knowing when I'll get my prescription filled is incredibly stressful. How long will I have to go without this time?

a lot of disabled people cant protest or go to protests because it isn't safe or accessible for so many of us there. That doesn't mean we aren't screaming and protesting right along with you; it means that you need to bring more disability justice in your activism, and address ableism in protests.

I read that the only way we will get through the loss of SNAP is through community support. People are sending me WishLists for food and other needs. Feel free to send me your own and I will share them.

THIS IS THE THREAD WHERE I WILL SHARE REQUESTS.

And then the song truly begins and I died it was so good. I was on my bedroom floor working on the mountain of homework I had freshman year and I jumped up after the song was over and told my parents about the most amazing new song I had just heard. I've been obsessed with MCR ever since.

Today is The Black Parade's 19th birthday. I remember the first time KROQ played Welcome to the Black Parade on the radio. The first two notes struck me like lightning. The notes pierced my soul and latched on, and then the song has a moment where it's quiet, and I could hear my heart racing,...

Why are men fetishising autistic women on dating apps? Swathes of men on dating apps say they’re looking for a ‘slightly autistic girlfriend’ – and far from being flattering, the trend shows an alarming lack of empathy for neurodivergent women

I am going to say something that is going to stir the pot a little bit: men fetishizing #ActuallyAutistic women on dating apps borders on preying on them. It’s not funny or cute. It’s gross.

Looking to find #ActuallyAutistic men and their partners to interview for my next book for a chapter on dating and autism. I want to know:
-How does your neurotype affect your dating life?
-Your marriage
-What were some obstacles?
-Advantages

Thanks to the outage, I can't attend school, I can't do a lot of things. So I took the day off and painted and cleaned and relaxed.

It's not even 6:05 am and I've already finished three homework assignments and a quiz. I'm on a roll!

Me: "I'm going to take a break from the Internet!"

Five minutes later I'm hanging out with friends.

On the Internet.

For hours at a time.

In California right now, the only thing on this ballot they sent out is redistricting. Make sure you vote!

Thank you to everyone who helped with my survey! I now have enough data to make graphs for this presentation I've been assigned. Woohoo graphs!

I have 13 things left on my to-do list and I started working 3 hours ago.

He tried resending it. It's still in Spanish. But it's still in English on his phone.

My bf sent me a video in English. When I received it, it was in Spanish. All the settings on my phone are for English. Somehow, this one video is convinced I know Spanish. It has my bf and I cracking up! But seriously, how do I watch it in English?
