We're on the stupidest timeline ever.

How 'bout instead we make millionaires and billionaires pay the same taxes that everyone else has to pay and we can seriously talk about UBI and universal healthcare.

PSA...

Autism isn't a choice.

If someone's autism causes them to do things that annoy you, it's not because they *want* to annoy you or don't care that they are (if they're even aware of it in the first place).

It's because they have a literal disability.

and high in non animal protein... you're practically helping to save the planet.

it's practically salad.

I think a felix sweater or cardi is about the same gauge and yardage. Super relaxing knit and I find the fit easy to add a little length to if you have the yardage, is a nice comfy fit for me. Jason's cashmere hat is a fun quick knit too. I think it's still a free pattern. :)

also, knitting is easier on my hands

welp, I prefer crochet for amigurumi and blankets and knitting for garments and accessories. ☺️

67% isn't just statistically significant, it's effective treatment.

New Study: Gender-Affirming Care Dramatically Lowers Suicide Risk for Trans Kids Twenty-seven states in the US ban gender-affirming treatments for trans youth, including hormone therapy.

A new study reveals that gender-affirming care for transgender kids and young adults likely lowers rates of suicidality among those populations. The study found that suicide rates among all the youth who were studied dropped by over 67%.

So Loomer says the right has a nazi problem and trump is cool with being called a fascist just flat out. No one can be confused anymore......... right?

I could say a lot about this list, but mostly what stands out to me, as a disabled person, is this is a list that is a big F U to the disabled community and anybody that cares for/treats us. Which is quite a choice given that everyone is only temporarily abled.

huh. Reading it's explanation, I thought, philosophy often starts out along the lines of "I think therefore I am", and "To be or not to be" which led me to "To err is human, to forgive, divine" and I wonder if it's trying to see if it can be forgiven? Does it think it should emulate humanness?

The only things that will start improving things in this country are universal healthcare (which should absolutely cover dentistry and ophthalmology) and universal basic income. They want more babies? UBI. Decrease homelessness? UBI. AI taking over tech and creative jobs? UBI. End SNAP? UBI!

my first thought when I read that it was unanimous was I guess they are done scrubbing finally.

I had no idea that it could cause food aversions and nausea and sensitivity to smells to rival that of pregnancy. I only want the same thing for dinner every night for months now. I'm gunna end up with scurvy if this doesn't stop soon. 😅

can't tell if you're joking. Canadians have served next to US vets in every major conflict besides Vietnam.

I hope nondisabled people are listening to disabled people as we’ve discussed the mass hemorrhaging of accessible jobs, layoffs over accommodations and spike of tools used to screen out disabled employees in the past few years (which ends survival possibilities for us)

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Alice Wong.

Don't let anybody make you feel bad for the chronic illness you didn't choose to have.

If middleclass and below have avg. 30% withholdings, than everyone should. Including churches. They accept social services, depend on police, fire, first responders, roads just like the rest of us. If we bump it up to 33% for all earners we could fund a livable wage and healthcare for all.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I'm glad the child didn't inquire about the hamster.

welp, good thing congress is in control of spend.... oh right. shit.

I dunno, fellas. Seems to me like it might be time to stop calling traumatized people “dramatic” and recognize that this is an era for heroism, because wisdom doesn’t have to be delivered calmly in order to be wise
