“This language is not harmless; it reinforces stigma, diminishes dignity, and undermines the value and contributions of disabled individuals in our communities," Kim Moody, CEO of Disability Rights Maine, said in a statement.
I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on
SAME but this was FAST TURNAROUND YO
shut. up.
Tori Amos and Neil Gaiman were best friends, and he’s mentioned by name in many of her songs. Tori was blindsided and devastated after allegations of Neil being a sexual predator came out. They’re no longer friends and she took him out of her song “Horses” last night: www.tiktok.com/@mrzebra1980...
You can't tell me what to do.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy
Image of a pair of beige fuzzy-cuffed slippers neatly lined up next to each other in the middle of a sidewalk adjacent to a parking lot (with a red car nearby) and a busy road (not pictured.) It looks like they just got left behind by someone who was "raptured", ironically enough, on Church St.
Spontaneous rapture event on Church St.
Any other lyrics— don’t even try chronic town murmur or reckoning btw— just form vowels and syllables, and mean it
If we reach 4K followers today, we’ll go ahead and release the remaining Halloween preview images here on Bluesky — including scents that weren’t previously announced, because they’re coming out *after* #DragonCon 👻
You knew I was here. OK so I'm not usually here. I like it better here than other places but I always forget about it.

You know, autism. You go back, I guess, 18 years, 10,000, think of this, out of 10,000 people, okay, 10,000 people, and I'll go a little different way, right now, out of 10,000 people, 18 people don't have, they're safe, 18 people. We have a statistic on autism that's the worst I've ever seen, and he's going to change it. He's going to change it. It used to
one thing that has slightly slipped through the cracks is that yesterday Trump said that 9,982 out of every 10,000 people are autistic
"It's a beautiful May day," Ofglen says. I feel rather than see her head turn towards me, waiting for a reply.
"Yes," I say. "Praise be," I add as an afterthought.

you don’t need the press corps anymore — just pull out your phone. AOC did a livestream that spurred THOUSANDS of calls to congress.
the msm wants drama? give it to them. like right now dems should have a fucking PARADE of fired federal workers out there putting a face on all this.
I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling.
He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.
thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight
GOOD.
Love, someone who lives down the street from the VERY FIRST WAHO
Keep in mind: Most Americans have no idea how severe things have gotten.
Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.
Currently reading a fluffy modern romancey book (doesn't matter which) where I knew in the 1st few pages that the guy she hates is the guy she'll want in 50 pages & probably marry at the end & it does have a plot & it's very sweet but also....I just need that predictability right the fuck now.
yikes
TPM in the article above also says Senators Fetterman (PA) and Sanders (VT) may be considering voting for RFK, Jr.
If you’re in Pennsylvania, please call Fetterman at (202) 224-4254.
If you’re in Vermont, please call Sanders at (202) 224-5141.
Bye bye FACE Act
I often speak in micro and macro.
So the macro that is tiring everyone is tiring me too.
Then there's micro. My actual life. My day to day.
Exhausting.
YAY!
I feel like I should talk more shit here than on Thredz (YES I SPELLED IT WRONG ON PURPOSE) bc that one's connected to my IG/FB & family can see. Anyway I'm really fucking tired. Tired tired tired. You don't even know the fucking HALF of it. You too? Ya. Me too.
It was the Biden administration that took down repro rights dot com. They archived it so the info couldn’t be messed with.
