For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here.

Texas A&M President to Step Down After Controversy Over ‘Gender Ideology’

Multiple Deans, a professor, and now a university president have all lost their jobs simply because a professor acknowledged trans people exist in a course about young adult literature.

One of the most important things when it comes to controlling what happens in the future is controlling what people are allowed to imagine today.

Hospital admissions for Covid hit 10-month high Waning immunity and rising case numbers are the main drivers of the increase in hospital admissions, scientists say

This is precisely why Covid-19 vaccines should be available free of charge for everyone in the UK. The government not purchasing enough vaccines to make this possible is the definition of a false economy.

With the renewed solidarity we have seen as response to immigrant criminalization, I'm hopeful we can commit to mitigation as a collective responsibility. If we know how different systems of oppression are intertwined, we can also work together to protect each other.

Many immigrants have died of COVID and other illnesses in ICE custody since 2020. Despite this, the move from "we're in this together" to "only the vulnerable should worry" has been embraced by many.

I stopped attending and presenting at conferences that are inaccessible to me in 2022 so I'm grateful for the invitation to be one of the keynote speakers with a talk titled "COVID and Disability Justice in Times of Latinx Criminalization."

@ucpnational.bsky.social’s United Cerebral Palsy's Conference on Latinos with Disabilities is next week (September 17-18)! As a disabled and immunocompromised Latina, I'm grateful for accessible conferences and this one is not only virtual but free.

excellent. MORE OF THIS.

I'm fascinated by the idea that genAI is going to be bigger than the industrial revolution, when it doesn't do, really, anything in the physical world or produce energy. It can't move goods, can't power homes, can't mine or recycle metal, can't make plastics or pharmaceuticals or food.

This is exactly the right way to think of this; precisely what I'm saying, yes

Depressing to find my work has been used to train AI.

“Do not submit to anyone, including the plagiarized digital detritus called “AI.” Read and think on your own terms with your own words. Do not take your ability to do so for granted.”

“We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness. In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of “critical mass. It’s always about critical connections.”

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

It’s a guarantee that you will die. What kind of life will you live in the meantime?

If it has ever been clearer that teachers and universities are simply an impediment to these companies seeking to make students a captive population and then making trillions off those students it’s here

Sometimes I think about how members of my communities show up every day to fight for our lives and each other and then people tell us we should be nicer to the feckless, cowardly assholes who've chosen to abandon us.

We're not "descending into" fascism in the U.S. We are living under a fascist regime already. I wonder when most people will catch up to this reality and what that might portend.
