For some disabled protestors, “Hands Off” went virtual "We know we have to teach everyone how to include us."

In-person protests—with their noise, limited seating, and unmasked crowds—can be inaccessible to disabled people.

While some may grimace at using Zoom for social activities, for many chronically ill and disabled people, having the platform continue to be available is a relief.

Ok but hear me out - what if people bought each other heirloom beans for special occasions? They're nice enough that you don't really buy them for yourself, but they're a *really* lovely treat if you didn't pay for them! Plus we could support small businesses.

This is why I kept and maintain my gutterpunk youth.

You never want it to be necessary to fuck shit up, but when it comes time what you want is some people rooted in good old-fashioned disaffectation with a healthy sense of humor and a complete lack of respect for respectability.

All that to say - things are absolutely horrific right now and should definitely be stopped. I definitely don't want to dismiss the harm of *gestures wildly* everything.

I don't necessarily mean that as a "the US is only purely horrific and negative" statement, but I worry that focus on how bad things have been "recently" or due to specific political actions distracts us from how these things are consequences and part of an established pattern of cruelty.

I mean, what's to say we haven't been *there* for a long time? Like, other than other countries waging physical war on US land, what atrocities are going on in other countries that haven't also been happening here for a long time? (Plus our own special atrocities!)

Grey eyelashes seem like an aspect of aging no one wants you about. Not a terrible one - just a surprise.

I'm trying to decide if there have been more individual and community catastrophes and tragedies this year than usual, or if the levels of panic just keep building until we die.

It's been a very long year for everyone already and I'd appreciate if things could slow down.

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

Photo: Several fingers tilt an open flower up towards the sunlight as others on the plant droop in bell shapes. The slightly pointed petals are deep purple-red at the edges, with striations coloring the petal into a very pale pink center. The middle of the flower is light green, with many pale yellow stamen. A blue sky and some buildings are visible in a blurry background.

Can't get over how beautiful this hellebore is, so just posting it everywhere I can

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Help, I accidentally made decaf sleepy tea this morning instead of my usual black tea + mate blend. Falling asleep at my desk.

Found a lone rhinestone on my front porch as I walked into my house, which really just describes this whole week.

So great to see groups practicing community care. We need to do this more than ever in light of mass dismantling of government institutions.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
