Only if said walkways and public transit are disability-friendly. Hint: They’re not always. And in those cases, I’ll choose my car every time.

When I was in 8th grade, we had to do reports on famous women & I was assigned Kate. It may have been my fav project ever. Oh btw, I went to catholic school. I tell this story to get across how much the Catholics have changed since the 80s/90s. Doubt they’d be assigning this project now….

Hot take, library edition: That so many libraries were dependent on literally ONE vendor and that their supply chains faltered so badly for physical materials when that vendor went belly-up is something that, frankly, the libraries should have had back-up plans for.

Pretty fortunate to live in a county where publicized book banning attempts usually lead to more $$ donations given to the libraries. Residents of Cuyahoga County overall are pretty awesome and generous and ❤️ their libraries.

We don’t chase clicks.
We chase truth.

That means reporting the stories that matter, asking hard questions, and fact-checking everyone.

Right now, the next $15,000 is matched thanks to the Whiskey and Haggis Fund.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸

We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

What makes me extra mad is that they have to publicize their challenges. Libraries get book challenges from ppl all the time but those ppl aren’t going to the press about it.

Hot take: If you drastically change your focus and mission to try to get new ppl into the library so much so that it alienates and distances your traditional, established patrons, then that is a FAIL.

Special props to the people living on Brecksville Rd in Independence for flying your ‘Abolish ICE’ flag. Didn’t expect to see that this morning, made me smile.

Have you see what the administration has done to our own culture recently? Of course they aren’t going to care about another peoples’ culture; they don’t even care abt our own.

Guys, idc if he has a neck rash. As a perimenopausal woman, I have weird, persistent rashes and itchiness in literally all parts of my body. (Turns out your hormones control your histamines and immune system - who knew!) Anyway, it’s not a story to me.

I’m so over the high-fashion dresses with the stiff, shapeless busts. I don’t find it flattering at all.

Fact Check: An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job.

A billionaire does. Pass it the hell on.

Respect the “can’t” People with disabilities and chronic illnesses will often say we “can’t” do something when technically, we can, but not without severe consequences we’re not willing to pay. Since, in my experience…

I highly recommend anyone who's chronically ill or helps take care of someone who is to read this. Changed my life for the better - a necessary & beneficial paradigm shift I want to popularize.

It's about abled arrogance & the realities of chronic illness.

My kids are teens right now, have pretty ambitious goals, but at the same know they know how out of reach their own housing might be, even with a good job. We've already told them they can live with us as long as they need. I do think there is a shift coming w/ more intergenerational living.

And believe me, I can tell when an article has used AI. It’s journalistic slop, and I’m not even an expert.
