move slow and repair things

It’s wild that I can pretty consistently knit a (fairly complicated) sock in about a week. Considering I didn’t think I could knit any kind of garment just 2 year or so ago I’m rather pleased with myself.

Why Disability Justice Activists Have Joined the Movement to Stop Cop City Disability justice activists are joining grassroots efforts to shut down Atlanta’s Cop City, the largest police training campus in the U.S.

Disability justice activists were an important part of grassroots efforts to shut down Atlanta’s Cop City. I covered their work in this piece — worth revisiting as we think about who is most vulnerable to the growing police violence in our cities and how we can come together against it.

This is absolutely an #NEISvoid issue

I have given up trying to research when is the best time to plant my spring vegetables in the chaos of climate change weather events

And instead I'm going with succession planting some seeds every week or so, and seeing what survives

Extremely relatable

An animation (in black on a rusty orange background) of Sisyphus rolling a large boulder up a steep mountain incline. Text box over Sisyphus says "Me, with hEDS" and text box over the boulder says "Getting specific muscles to turn on when they're supposed to." There is a faint Adobe Stock watermark.

I made a meme
#NEISvoid

The number of steps i have to do consciously to get my hEDS body to function at least somewhat properly that the majority of people's bodies just do automatically is weighing on me tonight. Getting specific muscles to turn on when they're supposed to is my Sisyphus boulder right now. #NEISvoid

such solidarity

Dear Heavenly Father, in this holy season of Lent we petition thee for just like a soupçon of schism energy to bring the vibes up around here. Please grant our blessed Pope the strength to excommunicate Vance and maybe a few other assholes for good measure. In the White Sox’ name we pray. Amen

If you're a writer or researcher who thinks AI is better than you at your job, I believe you. I just don't think you should pretend like your skill issue affects me

Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I don't know what autistic comrade needs to hear this, but you know that feeling you get when you're forced to play nice with that coworker you can't fucking stand?

You can make an NT person who favors indirect communication feel the exact same way by naming what they're not saying out loud.

Fossil fuels were the future, once.

As a reminder during Trans Readathon time, I'm a trans author with a book that has a trans masc MC (and a disabled MC/love interest)

hilarious. bog witch level up for sure.

Growing up I used to laugh at my mom's gardening head lamp...but now I secretly covet her gardening head lamp

Journalist Sara Murphy is working on a story about the impact of climate disasters on people with #LongCOVID, focusing on the American South. She would love to connect with people who had to manage the recent ice storms and extreme cold, or even previous disasters. Contact: hello@saramurphyphd.com.

Love to see this!

American Jews have been TRYING to tell folks that yes, AIPAC is evil, & fuck them, but Christian Zionists in the US outnumber Jews IN THE WORLD & have risen to power in all areas of our government, & they want to bring the End Times (& kill all the Jews btw), AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

A folk logic about it is starting to develop. People may not understand the monopolies and geopolitics of renewable energy at a gradual level. But they can see data centers, hear data centers, and read their electric bill statements. They are angry.

Every trans person who refuses to shrink their identity to fit the room is expanding the world for everyone else.

Less than 20% of adults are vaccinated for 2025-2026 & less than 9% of kids.
Mask wearing is ridiculed by MAGA & Dem bros alike, cleaner indoor air efforts are being ignored by the majority of schools.

But yes, those pesky alarmist maskers, the only ppl not spreading this, are in fact the problem.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

A closeup of Frankie, a cranky look cat. He’s lying on his side on a desk in a sun puddle. His eyes are angry and his ears are in air plane mode. He was enjoying his belly rubbed, which is unusual for him, and isn’t enjoying the photoshoot, also unusual for him! #CatsOfBlueSky

He can’t believe I would stop rubbing his belly for something as frivolous as a photograph!
