My first #JumpingSpider ! Her name is Penny and she’s adorable. We’re still working on building trust. She’s still very smol. I have two more coming this week which is exciting! We have a ton of critters now 😅😂 but I love them all!

If approved, the move would be the first time Guard troops at the national level have been asked to assist in the removal of migrants in the U.S. without legal status.
My baby Ricky Lea had his first training session out with me in my wheelchair and he did wonderful! I’m so proud of him!

Trump got a list of thousands of people to target by Betar, the fascist movement that dates back to the 1930s. By fascist I mean fascist. It was founded as a fascist group. It is an explicitly genocidal group.
Mahmoud Khalil was just their first target.
I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

Meet Pepper! She's a 1.5 year old leopard gecko and she's very sweet, a social butterfly. The vet said she's perfect besides being a little overweight, so she's on a diet. I love her. She walks onto me when I start talking to her.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth and Combs killed those people and we cannot let them blame those deaths on minorities and women.
This is a mood. I'm still paying off my SDIT and I'm like please don't end SS for at least two more months 😭
I don't know what you typically play but my favourite games are Gris, Neva, Unpacking, When the Past was Around
Ricky Lea learned how to get the remote from its spot earlier. He picked up on it really quick, then started bringing it even when I didn't ask trying to get more treats lmao

So far we haven't had any issues and we've had one kinda storm but I totally get the concern! I wish I could have gotten a concrete one but this one is fairly sturdy.
As someone who hallucinates, I really wish people would stop sharing those memes about books that are like "reading is weird because you're just staring at dead tree hallucinating for hours" because like, using your imagination ≠ hallucinating. K thx.

Disabled people often get called resilient when faced with obstacles in life. Most of us don’t want to be resilient, we want to be obstacle free! Please stop glamorizing our struggles and instead make it easier for us to live.
How often can we (US, Medicare and Medicaid, immunocompromised) get the new COVID vaccine?

No one told me that the needles to test for placement for a nerve ablation would be done without numbing so, that was traumatizing.
If current growth continues, in ten years' time deaths of 5-9 year olds will be 1.94 x 7.7 = 15 times higher than they were just before the onset of the pandemic.

It’s 2025… can we start masking in hospitals this year?
Can we stop insinuating that hospital acquired covid is “inevitable” or that those who die were going to “die anyways”?
Can we call it what it is? An epic failure of infection control to protect those who put their lives in your hands:
Ohio: We're gonna use your taxes to put body cams on our cops for accountability reasons.
Taxpayer: Accountability? Using my money. In the state of Ohio?
Ohio: Yes!
Taxpayer: ...May I see it?
Ohio: No.
"And that’s the crux of autism-vaccine fears, the root of the rot: It’s not enough to let people know that vaccines don’t cause autism. We have to affirm that autism is not something to fear, autistic lives are worth living and supporting, and that autistic people deserve to exist and be loved."
