The Tecoluca Hop A stream of consciousness about the current state of affairs

This will probably be a longer piece at some point but figured I'd just share instead of thinking. Maybe vibes are all that matter.

But if the stuff you're seeing these days piss you off or make you sad...create. And create recklessly mattonesti.substack.com/p/the-tecolu...

I bought a brass one hitter bowl, forgetting that I have to use an electric lighter, and I refused to give up on my smoking session, so I shocked myself five times because my mother didn’t raise a quitter nor a scientist.

Please stay in touch and I’ll try to do the same!!

My new friend, you’re about to be a powerhouse for P&As right now with situational experience like that. Might have to send some DMs to be more specific but the EOs trump put out are creating questions on how P&As can advocate when it comes to situations that are intersectional like what you shared.

Congrats from the chair of the P&A in Ohio !

You’re coming in at probably the weirdest time for P&As since the creation. Things have settled ‘slightly’ for us but our statehouse had initiated serious pushback. NC & AR also have weird proposed legislation to undermine system if im remembering right

We Found Elon Musk’s DOGE Email Address and We’re Fighting to Reveal His Messages The Intercept is publishing Elon Musk’s government email address to aid those seeking information on DOGE in the public interest.

Elon's government email is:

erm71@who.eop.gov

Please don't send anything to it, that would not be good at all!

Everything is about to collapse so I’m picking fights with my dad’s friends on Facebook. And so can you

I’m disabled. I’m terrified about what Medicaid cuts could mean for my life Medicaid cuts could force disabled people out of the public sphere and into nursing homes. People like me.

“Even if Medicaid itself continues to exist, I fear a return of policies of the past that aimed to keep disabled people out of the public sphere, segregated in institutions, and further exposed to death.”

#Disability #HandsOffMedicaid

I opened up special treats in a completely separate room to work on whistle training with my puppy. He heard the bag and I assume smelled the treats so he ran in and nearly caught me in the act so I’ve just been gaslighting him for the past 10 minutes that in fact those treats don’t even exist

Folks had to do it in 2018 when the House passed HR 620.

A bunch of folks had to do it in 2017 to save the ACA too.

And to get the ADA passed in 1990.

#Disability rights are always under attack so our community always has to show up.

The image is a screenshot of a “Project 2025 Tracker” interface, focused on monitoring the progress of objectives related to LGBTQIA and DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) across various U.S. government agencies. Key Elements: • Overall Progress: • Total Objectives: 24 • Completed: 16 • In Progress: 4 • Completion Rate: 75% (represented by a blue progress bar) Progress by Agency: 1. Fully Completed (100%): • Dept. of Education (5 objectives) • Dept. of State (1 objective) • Dept. of the Treasury (1 objective) • USAID (1 objective) • White House (3 objectives) 2. Partially Completed: • Dept. of Defense (3 objectives) – 83% • CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1 objective) – 50% • Dept. of Health and Human Services (4 objectives) – 50% • Dept. of Justice (2 objectives) – 50% • Dept. of Labor (3 objectives) – 33%

Remember Project 2025? Well they have already COMPLETED 75% of their goals against LGBTQ+ people.

This is all within the first month of Trump's presidency. They won't stop until they have stripped us of our rights and forced us into camps.

And they won't stop with us...

Trump's war on Medicaid will institutionalize millions of people The GOP wants to fund billionaire tax cuts—and let disabled Americans pay the price.

Home and Community-Based Services waivers help disabled people stay out of institutions. For @motherjones.com, I reported on how disabled people's independence is threatened by attacks on Medicaid that fund HCBS waivers (and others). www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Accessible pube cutting service. Let’s stop wasting our time with AI

Don’t fucking do it

My dog won’t stop laughing about the UHC CEO getting assassinated and idk how to explain to him he won’t get into real doggy heaven if he doesn’t fake sympathy for a group of people who constantly show indifference towards human suffering….

If someone describes a pizza as “tastes like Chuck-e-cheese” would you take it as a compliment or beat the shit out of them?

Fair. Guess my following isn’t as strong
Just trying to see if there’s a way to ease the transition. Definitely still seeing holdouts who aren’t passive scrolling this site yet. Hopefully soon though

Right. But we can’t ignore the other part of what I said that it took years and honestly luck in certain cases. I’m also trying to spread by mouth to friends to hop on here because that was also a huge catalyst for building the original followings.

Seriously though trying to build a new following is terrifying. As a small creator it took a lot to get what I had on Twitter and other social medias.
Not a reason to stay on a sinking ship but how do we make transition easier for all users? Especially those without the established names

I was just appointed to a position in trump’s cabinet. The bottom shelf with the potatoes: to be served at dinner over a bed of steak, lots of gravy.

A tweet from Jason Okundaye @jaseokundaye that reads, “My position on assisted dying is I agree with it but I don’t agree with this country doing it”

This is it. The U.S. still throws disabled people in institutions and we expect them not to use this to kill off as many of us as they can?

I think the guy in the next room is mocking my cough or probably also just has a respiratory infection but seriously dude you aren’t going to win this one. I am the king of parainfluenza

If you share this, they will come

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

Btw my anesthesiologist hit me back today (was just a 10 min twilight don’t freak out) with “yeah, but I’ll be staying with you the whole time you’re out” then boom I hit black.

Every single time I’m about to go under anesthesia, even if it’s just a twilight, I have to make a joke about if it’s the same stuff Michael Jackson used to go to bed at night. It’s a strange choice for my potential last words but for some reason it makes me feel peaceful.

Simple Puppy elegance

Starting over on a new social media is daunting but seriously the perfect excuse to finally show strangers my asshole

Oh hell yeah Dan blue me !
