Without specific strategies, tactics, and resources for undoing extant pressures and damage, ideas like "building resilience" are just "suck it up and deal" by another name.

Pilot on my flight: “Air travel is not fun right now. Please be nice to each other. I don’t want to be on CNN. Let’s just go home.”

That we don't exist when its inconvenient to bring us up?

Seriously why the fuck are you making this attack on trans and intersex women into a contest of oppression? Why aren't you pointing out that "actually they suck at sports" is shitty and misogynistic. God.

Screenshot of a Tumblr reblog from trist246 that says "fun fact, margaret Thatcher is a canonical pokemom character who appears in the steel type expert tournament at the pwt" With a picture of thatcher trainer and steel type team below with aggron, bronzong, magnezone, skarmory, steelix, and bisharp.

Post continued with language translations where the Japanese version is literally Margaret Thatcher. Below is another reblog from hotvampireadjacent that says "i was gonna say 'it's probably a coincidence' but then I read the Japanese. another reason why pokemon bw2 rules- you can beat the shit out of Margaret thatcher in it

@rtgame.bsky.social As a Irish man and gen 5 lover I need you to know about this.

Hello person with poor conflict resolution skills, it is I, John Conflict, here to get into conflict about said skills.

I have written down multiple suggestions and found resources detailing the basics of conflict resolution.

Surely this will go smoothly

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online.

It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

How Do Scholars Take Notes? How do scholars take notes? I like seeing examples of different people’s notetaking, so I asked scholars to show me how they take notes for research.

I made my students a little “book” (just using Google slides) to show them how you all answered my question about how you take notes for research. Just to show the variety.

Trans and human rights organisations call for EHRC to be downgraded as an internationally-accredited human rights body A wide-ranging coalition of trans and human rights organisations are calling on the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to be downgraded as an internationally-accredited human rights body. This formal challenge to the EHRC’s fitness for purpose has been brought by TransActual UK, Amnesty International UK and Trans+ Solidarity

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

You can't control everyone who's a fan but you do have enough influence to keep it from being a toxic cesspool.

And I do believe that you need to not tolerate bigotry to create that environment too. Which often (White cis men) creators don't do.

Probably a study for something like this idk

Looking at #Danandphil or #RTgame and noticing that these are creators who actually managed to get a large following and generally positive communities. That internet spaces can be better through example and outright saying "that's not okay."

BREAKING: Students at Boston University have taken over the student union in solidarity with Gaza.

I'd be on BlueSky more but there's just as much transmisogyny here as Tumblr, the shitposts aren't as absurd, and it feels a lot more stiff.

I like queer people who are unafraid to talk about kink, politics, and absurd humor is the best way to describe it. Less of that here

Whenever I include queer theory in anything I feel like I'm trying to hold a wiggling wet fish

ICE raids Elgin, Illinois neighborhood early Tuesday; several arrested Several people were arrested in an early morning ICE raid in Elgin, Illinois, Tuesday, which was shared on social media by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

This does nothing to make our community safer. The Trump Admin's goal is to stoke fear and cause confusion. Kristi Noem went to Elgin not out of concern for Illinoisans, but because she wanted to make a propaganda video. This is a performative stunt. Shameful.

There was essentially zero coverage of the disabled protest to stop Medicaid cuts. Capitol police dragged protesters out, many in wheelchairs, and arrested 34 people. It was barely a blip on the news because nobody really cares about the disabled.

Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.

So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

For some disabled protestors, “Hands Off” went virtual "We know we have to teach everyone how to include us."

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Please use ALT text on your protest photos.

Disabled people are left out of non-disabled activism. Accommodations are not made. Intersectionality does not apply. We aren’t invited to participate. We have to fight for ourselves.

Leaving ALT off your images leaves disabled people out yet again.

ASAN condemns the Trump administration’s executive order calling on the Secretary of Education to take steps to close the Department of Education. This is a disturbing idea, and a betrayal of the government’s commitment to provide equal access to education.

Section 504 is an important law that protects disabled people. Texas v. Becerra is a court case where people are asking the court to get rid of Section 504, which would hurt a lot of people. You can read about it and learn how to help with this plain language explainer:

Graphic with a light blue background with a slice of watermelon on top. Text reads “Crips for eSims for Gaza Update 2/20/25, $2.11 million CAD raised ($1.49 million US) 18,315 eSims purchased and sent, 4385 eSims activated” On the lower left corner, “Thank you! Jane, Leah, and Alice.” On the lower right corner is a QR code

We're in dire need to keep raising money because of the expenses of keeping all of the eSIMs topped up. For the latest about our project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/01/29/c...
