The people who can’t understand pronouns are gendering breakfast foods

I also think people have not thought thru the endpoint: the only reason *some* good information can be gleaned now through an AI lit review is because human beings did analysis & thinking & synthesis that the machines pilfered.

This info will be trash with less human involvement down the line.

I Have Tourette Syndrome and I Have the N-Word Thrown at Me. I Have Thoughts on BAFTA. As New York City Public Advocate, I’m in a very visible space with a very visible disability. Here's what I've learned.

This is a good read. I'm also thinking about how almost all disability organizations, including ones for Tourette's, have very white leadership, which means many fail to approach situations like this with intersectional nuance. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

More abuse of disabled immigrants by Border Partrol.

They seem intent on targeting those who they perceive as weak or unable to fight back.

This man was blind and didn’t speak English… they left him out in the cold.

He died.

Make noise for Shah Alam.

Did that broke thing of needing a snack and having nothing snack like so I had a spoonful of peanut butter and a swig of soymilk. After eating a dinner of lentils and rice. Being on disability is just eating variations of legumes and grains every day forever

If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong...

this thread is for you.

First: prompt questions to get you started.

Canada sidesteps UN scrutiny over assisted dying ⋆ The Breach Calls by disability advocates and the UN to halt an expansion of medically assisted death have gone largely unacknowledged by the federal government

The UN released a scathing report on Canada’s treatment of disabled people last spring—calling out inadequate support & urging a halt to MAiD expansion + Track Two.

I document the government's silence about the report.

The UN report and its recommendations weren’t “surprising to anyone listening to the disabled community,” said @mssinenomine.bsky.social

Anyone listening would know that these issues have been discussed for years so the UN report should not have come as a surprise.

What Black Disabled Women Want The basic human rights of proper health care and opportunities through work should be available to everyone.

In light of everything, a reminder:

"The most visible layer as a Black disabled person is our Blackness, which is constantly under the threat of scrutiny, assumed guilt, and, as logically follows, persecution." - Tinu Abayomi-Paul in #TheBlackAgendaBook

You know, the ‘please hold space for people with disabilities to say the n-word with a hard -er’ is never a demand being made by Black people living with disabilities

It shows how deeply white supremacy subtends a lot of what passes for Disability Justice

Hey all, @maedayj.bsky.social needs urgent #MutualAid this month!

I’m Black and disabled.

It’s the racism of the disabled community. Imagine thinking you can police how Black people should respond to racial slurs being hurled at Black folks at the BAFTA Awards because the person who said it is disabled.

Scrolling tonight feeling nostalgic and missing the era of Tinu on twitter. its unfair that she's gone #chronicloaf #ForTinu

In too much pain to get up, thing that may or may not help is in the next room, infinite chronic pain loop

Mutual Aid Request: an old dear friend of mine recently slipped on ice, hit his head, and lost consciousness in -40. He suffered severe frostbite on both hands and both feet. Currently, he can't use his hands, feed himself or function independently. I am collecting donations to help support him during this difficult time. Even if you can only contribute $5 to $10, every little bit adds up. If you donate $50 or more, I will mail you a print of my artwork (within Canada). "I just need some help and hugs cause I may lose time ability to paint and live normally" - Alex. Transfers of any amount to janerevae@gmail.com

A dear friend had an accident and needs our help, #disability, #crip and #chronicallyill community. please donate if you can and share if you cant. #MutualAid #MutualAidBoost

Boycott.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

1 unit of chronically ill energy = 10 unit of rest.

I really mean a comfort. I listen to him when I am frustrated and angry at capitalism and imperialism and all that overwhelming unjustness. In the early months of the latest Gaza genocide when I couldnt sleep, his lectures somehow were the only things that calmed me.

Rest in peace Micheal Parenti 🙏 his lectures and writing have been a great resource of knowledge and comfort to me, especially in the last few years. There are many nights when listening to his old lectures is what gets me through my painsomnia. If you haven't read his work, please start!

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.

Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If you read one book in your life, read Perfect Victims and the politics of appeal by Mohammed El-Kurd.
