A big chunk of people jumped into full-fledged reactionary politics because this was their preferred approach to COVID, and they were denied the opportunity to inflict it upon people poorer than them.

You know how when a cat gets a piece of tape stuck to one paw, the whole cat malfunctions?

Turns out I feel the same way when I put a brace on my left wrist.

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

Without starting a fight, may I just say that if you deeply and profoundly understand the need for human contact as a result of Covid, you might consider doing something to help the people still at high risk from Covid access it, instead of acting in ways that excludes and isolates them.

Pregnancy vaccine reduces baby hospital admissions for RSV by 80% A study confirms the vaccine gives excellent protection for babies against life-threatening chest infections.

Vaccines are humanity’s greatest scientific achievement.

Remember that you are more likely to become disabled than not.

You can be disabled by illness, injury, climate disasters, war, police brutality, unmitigated pandemics, lack of access to healthcare, etc.

Disability justice is for us all, and it’s foundational to all other forms of justice.

I would like to eat the whole ring. Right now.

Keep in mind that this capitalist hellscape is DESIGNED to turn marginalized people against each other and DESIGNED around anti-Blackness, imperialism, and cisheteronormativity, and DESIGNED to disappear disabled people from society,

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

This is what it's like seeing folks talking about dementia, mental illness, weight, incontinence when talking about RW politicians. The transphobic "Elonia" jokes, the gay jokes about Trump and Putin, and now the way people talk about Noem's husband.

We see the way y'all really feel.

Publicly humiliating anti-maskers who’re rude about me wearing an n95 has become a favorite (but risky) hobby.

I love when they panic, when their friends laugh at them, when they look shocked. One whined, “What happened to the tolerant left?”

May it put them off harassing another person in a mask.

Little do these ableist creeps know that’s actually EXACTLY what I look like behind my n95.

Depends on their vibe and my energy.

For the “take off that mask” jerks, I get the most traction out of a loud, faux-scared, “Sir! Stop asking me to undress!! This isn’t appropriate! I don’t know you!” Draws stares and sometimes intervention from bystanders.

Sometimes I’m way meaner.

“Plunging teen pregnancies” is actually a good thing unless you’re a member of the Epstein class

My nerdy heart loves this!!

I’m building a resource list & seeking recommendations for disability-focused podcasts & blogs.

Please don’t suggest anything hosted via substack given its well-documented investment in fascists & fascism and years-long calls for people to divest. I won’t read or rec anyone still using it.

Eastern N. America folks, it's just about go time for the start of the ~3 week peak migration (unless you're on the Gulf Coast, in which case it is go time NOW). Expect waves of incredible birds for the next month and a half

Turn those overnight lights off to protect them!

Make art about it.

Make art to process it.
Make art to escape it.
Make art to protest it.
Make art to change it.
Make art to grow from it.
Make art to recover from it.
Make art to understand it.
Make art to question it.

Just make art about it.

Agreed! A walk or hike in the rain is my favorite… partially because it’s not a favorite for many and I get lots of trails to myself!

I wish we could all put our main ocs into a playpen together while we work
