Poverty is debilitating & disabling – a state that robs us of agency, autonomy, time, & meaningful choices day-to-day. It's isolating & exhausting, intentionally constructed as a form of discipline & control. Poverty is chronic stress; it's the criminalization of survival itself.

#OnThisDay in 1924, James Baldwin was born in Harlem, NY. He'd later become one of America's greatest literary voices. Baldwin's work interrogated themes of racial and sexual oppression in America and is regarded as one of the foremost intellectual thinkers of the 20th century.

A lot of attention has been paid to Millennials and how it's hard for them. Meanwhile, Gen X is aging fast, getting close to a retirement that will not exist. In 20 years, it will be a full-blown crisis.

Outdoor transmission of SARS2 happens. We have plenty of data on it. We can't keep claiming that every sublineage of Omicron yields an ever more transmissible strain while ignoring the implications for outdoor spread.

I didn't realize how many of my 'leftist' friends were total cowards until the pandemic. And part of me is actually grateful for the clarity. I have no problem being misunderstood by people without a well-fed moral compass or an ethic of praxis.

The way pop culture has watered down "Karen" from "white women who weaponize their position under white supremacist patriarchy to enact violence upon Black and otherwise marginalized people (up to and including death)" to "white women being entitled and annoying in public" <<<<<<

Petition for gay clubs to recognize disability pride month in July by scheduling accessible events with a mask requirement, designated quiet spaces, AC on blast, silent-disco-style music that you listen to with headphones, and a multi-height bar. I wanna turn up cripply 🥲

Reparations =\= mutual aid =\= fund and resource redistribution.
I say this not to split hairs or be tedious but to be clear we need all of the above in radical and comprehensive ways. While they may often overlap or be connected, they aren’t the same thing.

If no one has told you yet, I’m so proud of you for continuing to wear a mask and take precautions despite those around you that constantly try to tear you down and make you feel bad for doing so. You’re so strong and so caring. Thank you for valuing the safety of others.

Non-disabled people, including those at the messy intersections of multiple marginalizations often hold these beliefs, informed by uninterrogated structural ableism. But I notice how sick & disabled people who aren't, aren't yet, or can't be on ~*benefits*~ also hold these views.

This has been a problem much longer than the pandemic – perhaps since the very introduction of social assistance. The absurd conviction that we who've survived the application process & eventual approval, so far, are granted some kind of magical respite from real world suffering.

Regular, unfriendly reminder that awareness campaigns are nothing more than corporate branding & well-funded professional feel-good moments that not only provide zero material support, but actively undermine solidarity, resistance, and direct action. #RedShirtDay

The Cסvid wary today are almost entirely the same people who were the Covid wary when we first let Cסvid rip. We haven’t flinched. We’re still here. And Cסvid is too, clearly. We’re not going to capitulate. We’re waiting on the rest of you to come around. We don’t have all day
