It’s hard realizing that at 48 I’m nearly bed-bound due to severe chronic pain from multiple disabilities. It’s been really hard on our relationship how little I’m able to be up and out of bed. I was able to do more when I had more support and I could have my feet up while I was in the living room.
I love this so much!!!

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times. Jennifer Lee Rosman @JenLRossman: We’re disabled, Daniel, we’re not werewolves

The canceling of Colbert shows that corporations don’t really care how obvious it is that they’ve caved to fascism, because they don’t believe they’ll suffer any consequences for it. We need to make sure that they do.
Governments and certain key opinion formers aren’t being open and honest about the risks associated with COVID-19 and their actions will have long-term consequences for public health and trust in science.

The fuck it is. WE are. And pretending like it’s some uncontrollable force of nature might make you feel better, but it’s fucking killing people, so wake up already.

Mom was a Child Protective Services worker for State of Oregon for 25 years. She told me there is danger of people shutting off when more details of sex crimes are revealed because they are so abhorrent, so offensive a need to insulate from even knowing about them occurs.
We can't look away.

The tens of billions of dollars being allocated to ICE could provide food and healthcare to everyone who needs it.
This regime chose tyranny and terror instead.
They would rather fund a militia to kidnap & disappear people, than give folks healthcare, school lunches and food assistance.

As soon as we allow people to debate the worth of other’s within society, we’ve lost.
We must work together to ensure our most vulnerable are taken care of, because in doing so we build a safer and more inclusive society for everyone.
i love to do a little joke but in reality things are challenging and I have been navigating some really challenging mental health issues after years of abuse, conversion therapy, and corrective rape– this pride month if you would like to help me get closer to my service dog goal that would be so rad

If they’re going to use AI to determine benefits access and approval, it will likely be significantly more than that!
Happy Pride! As always I feel the best support for the community is of the financial variety and I encourage you to donate to LGBTQIA+ charities and support networks.
But this year also consider buying some of your summer reading at queer owned shops! #booksky #reading #Pride
Happy Pride Month to everyone else who is also chronically ill and high risk and unable to participate in Pride Month festivities because folks won't mask. I see you. Your love is still valid. And to everyone else who can safely attend events this month, please mask up.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏
