Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Again, it’s not “doomer” to be proactive about these things. This is worth a read for what you can do

i feel like ocd shouldn't be allowed when you're asleep

A friend of mine has skin cancer and was about to start a clinical trial at MD Anderson after his other treatments did not work. Trump's decision to temporarily halt funding for medical research also applies to clinical trials. His treatment is now canceled.

Freezing scientific funding isn’t abstract. In medicine, life or death is often dictated by time. Temporary delays can cause great harm.

Do not fucking do this, do not open your phone for the police, you will be giving them the right to look at everything on your phone.

Masks work, and now is a better time than ever to start wearing them if you’ve stopped. Trump intends to throw out the ACA and let the pre-existing condition exclusions come back. You don’t want long Covid, but you REALLY don’t want long Covid and no health insurance.

it was nice! the exhibit was great and i don't really get out much these days so it was nice to have such a positive little interaction

sticker of a red keith haring style guy with a cane

i had brought some of my haring design stickers hoping i'd see a disabled person at the exhibit so i gave them one of these

the back of my jacket featuring many patches including a large skull with crossed canes that says "not dead yet", a small patch with an offset handle cane that says "talk shit get hit", and a patch with pink text which says "queercrip" and has an accessibility sign merged with a trans symbol. there are also assorted embroidered patches and one across the shoulders that says "ceaseless watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing"

went to a keith haring exhibit yesterday, used one of museum's wheelchairs and as i was returning it and getting my cane back one of the workers complimented the stickers on my cane and said theirs is just a plain blue, then complimented my back patches
