I feel like part of being disabled is lying to make others comfortable.

It's parade weekend in NYC and it holds a special place in my heart.

I'm immunocompromised and am basically a hermit. Even with masks, I still have gotten covid 5x. My vaccine stopped me from dying.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Real question: why do people make a stink about unfollowing/blocking. Chances are that you'll never meet these people in real life, and if they don't like/your content, they're within their "rights" to do block.

Why do people get butt hurt over this?

I'm following a fun TikTok drama about whether or not a particular author is a vampire for producing so many books in a short period. It's so deliciously lighthearted.

Able-bodied folks must understand that they only have two possible futures: dying young or aging into disability.

Disability justice is for you, too. Policies such as n95s in healthcare settings will keep you healthy longer.

Can you at least be strategically selfish if you can’t be a decent ally?

"If women want to be respected then they shoul--"

shhhhh. Imma stop you right there. Women don't have to earn their right to basic decency.

Fuck this. Librarians are the best. I stand with librarians and against book banning now and forever.

It is astonishing and upsetting how, not long ago, we had massive reservoirs of all the world's information in our pockets, and now, shitty rich people have poisoned those reservoirs. And now it's just a fucking mess.

If you tell someone to “Google it” at this point you’re telling them to look up five ads and some AI-generated bs instead of the actual thing they want to know.

“Back in my day, search engines used to find things besides the wreckage of late-stage capitalism.”

Boom.

I almost gave in and got takeout sushi, but I resisted. Then I bought a chicken sandwich b/c it was buy 1/get 1. Dinner for the win!

I bought this one! Looking forward to reading it.

I wrote a college coming-of-age love story. It's terrible. The sex scenes are overly explicit, the language was too simplistic, and the plot jumped the shark entirely too many times.

I'd audit that class just for this.

This is your reminder to vote in your local elections.

Your school board, your mayor, your transportation district director, your state ballot measures—these are all extremely important and will have an impact on your life.

Can anyone help?

bluesky will never catch on with the absolutely critical millennial academic demographic without GIFs and videos. we were raised on albinoblacksheep and bulletin boards and came of age in the pivot to video. like the t-rex, we only perceive motion. without it, like the t-rex, we will go extinct.

Fingers and toes crossed for you.

I've had migraines without pain before. That includes all of my aura triggers, but none of the head stabbing.
