Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

My hand holding a shortbread cookie in the shape of an airplane. There are red sprinkles in the pattern of the survivorship bias plane.
A plate of the same cookies.
Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

Tell your people that you love them.
You never know when your last chance will be.
You never fucking know.
To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

They want to track autism, miscarriages, abortion, birth control use but don’t want to track measles, bird flu, Covid or salmonella.
Ask yourselves why that is. They’re setting the stage to blame people for their disabilities. To slate them for elimination.
It’s eugenics & it’s escalating.
Note the ableds who are so sure that help exists, are never willing to provide it themselves.
They will gaslight, dismiss, blame and insinuate that we are simply unwilling or unable to find the help, while simultaneously being unwilling to provide any assistance.
Ableism. It's everywhere.
Disabled people: "Can we get more support live independently? A living wage? Access to qualified homecare?"
Society: "No you just have to try harder. The help is there."
Us: "I can't make this work I need help"
Them: "Time to go into a home!"
Institutionalizing us is NOT the answer

The single act you can take with the biggest anti-fascist impact is wearing an n95 in public.
Illness and disability most harm communities that fascists target: trans, disability, BIPOC, immigrant, &c.
COVID, avian flu, and TB are bullets. Your maskless face is the gun.
