Yet somebody at MSNBC got fired for pointing out the hate that ole Charlie gave.

Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is."

It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.

Either there's significantly less Swifties over here or the algorithm hasn't picked up on my love and devotion to Taylor Swift and either is plausible.

I don't do sensitivity reading for intellectual disability but signal boosting this!

I've been begging for another book in the Locked In universe for ages, @scalzi.com. 😛

Also would love to see another Indexing book from Seanan!

I'm sure someone has already said this more eloquently, but autistic folks who don't pay taxes are still valuable human beings, and people with criminal records should still not be disappeared to foreign extra judicial prison sites. Inherent human worth is the hill.

Our homes, NOT nursing homes!!! 

Members of BCID, DNY ADAPT and allies gathered in midtown Manhattan on April 14, 2025 calling on Governor Kathy Hochul to stop the transfer of state provided home care to a private, for-profit hedge fund.

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

HT make Bluesky better than Xwitter--PERMANENTLY. Choose your account's "Settings" (gear icon) from menu; pick "Accessibility" from next choices; check "Require alt text before posting" from next choices. Presto! Instant DEI! Your photo posts can now be read by lowsight/blind people like me FOREVER!

I Refuse To Give In…I Need Help, Or I WILL Be Unhoused As Of May 25th! I took a nap, and woke up coughing and choking. I didn’t even have a bad dream, but the stress and worry I am currently under is doing a real number on me both physically and mentally. It was…

No one should ever have to live in fear of being kicked out of their own home. This is what I am facing now bc of mean family who don't care abt their disabled sister, me.

The coronavirus vaccine is not specifically supposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

It's meant to make your experience having coronavirus less severe and hopefully prevent you from dying as people did in large numbers early in the pandemic.

As an American Jew I cannot express how much less safe I feel living in a country where people can be snatched off the street and institutions can be bankrupted for making Dear Leader mad

Seeing so much content around either "how to prepare to flee the US" or "how to prepare for fadcism."

The content is very good but it's so frustrating for me because neither are realistic for my disabled and chronically ill self and loved ones.

Here's a hot tip: if you don't know what the relationship is between two people, don't make assumptions--especially not out loud.

Brought to you by the bookstore employee who said to my fiancé: "we can move things out of the way...for your sister, obviously."

She lost our business real quickly.

Forcible institutionalization of disabled people is part of our mass incarceration system.

Dismantling the Administration for Community Living (ACL) threatens to undo years of progress that have improved access to services for older adults and people with disabilities.

I have it open in a separate tab right now!

I am completely okay if a person is upset by an ableist comment....

But i want the same people to be just as mad for ending inclusion programs that make buildings accessible, documents viewable, and information obtainable for people living with disabilities.

As someone also obsessed with tuberculosis, though more from a sociological and disability studies perspective, I agree with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social that everything is, in fact, tuberculosis.

Oh, Raw Dog was a DELIGHT. As a native New Yorker, I was nearly giddy with anticipation by the time it got to the Nathan's hot dog on Coney Island.

When the 'Capitol Crawl' Dramatized the Need for Americans with Disabilities Act | HISTORY The 1990 protest demonstrated the barriers that inaccessible buildings create for people with disabilities.

It's the anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, a demonstration to push for passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. And I, for one, think another spectacle like this is long overdue. www.history.com/news/america...
