DP FICTION #123B: β€œLaser Eyes Ain’t Everything” by Effie Seiberg – Diabolical Plots

For the last day of Disability Pride Month, here's my angry story about accessibility.

Come for the punny superhero lols, stay for the much-needed catharsis at the end.

β€œAre you okay?”

No? Yes? In a manner of speaking?

Amid The Horrors, we’re all just doing the best we can.

American adults have such a pervasive culture of demanding obedience from children, and that will always be antithetical to art.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

85% of Gaza’s population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition β€” the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.

So Shines A Good Deed In A Weary World Dark isn't the opposite of light, it's the absence of light.

"The reason people of evil try to smother any point of light is because they know that in a field of darkness, light becomes something undeniable and unignorable; a point of reference and a point of distinction. Dark needs perfect darkness to be perfectly dark.
So I ask myself: what light can I be?"

Publish it again. Every journalist who has published Epstein stuff before should just publish it again.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP β€” which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

fortify inside why spiritual practice matters during the rising authoritarian tide

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

Dissent is patriotic.

We have a right to disagree and dissent with those in power and demand a better world.

2. Picked a topic I cared about
3. Entered where I live and BOOM I get a script and phone number to call.

DASSIT! YOUR TURN!!!!

So much this, your public library is paying for you to have access to journalism - and when you actually use it, it helps the library justify the cost! It's a win for everyone.
