Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Book cover with a white guy in a wheelchair, a blonde woman on his lap, and the title When Dr Grumpy Met Her Sunshine. Around the book: confetti, a cocktail and colourful bunting

Cover reveal! Thrilled with these two. When Dr Grumpy Met Her Sunshine comes out in May - steamy, opposites attract medical romance with all the banter and feels. #romance

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Fair enough. Studying propaganda, law, civics, etc. doesn't need to traumatise. But neither should it be comfortable.

RW politicians lie outrageously about it, then all the political reporters say something like β€œwow National is going to deliver for working NZers”

then media, politicians & party supporters blame people for β€œvoting against their interestsβ€œ as if capital hasn’t got a centuries old propaganda machine

We should have all known that the moment progressives pulled out their own guns and the black panthers were back in the news defending their communities, that would be the time for common sense gun control. Not 20 some school shootings back, don't be silly.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs.

It's negative -25Β°F and tears are dangerous.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

My biggest problem as an artist has never been lack of ideas. It’s always been exploitation in regards to wages and citation and general abuse endured for making art or writing while being Black, a woman or specifically a Black woman.

No billionaire dummy could ever understand any of this…

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Puberty blockers are safe and proven - the THIRD PARAGRAPH acknowledges that children WILL still be prescribed them, just not if they're trans

This is an attack on trans children, full stop

This government does not care about children, full stop

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.
