Alice Wong (RIP) shared this years ago. for everyone's sake, please study it. anyone claiming organizing, "leftism", "socialism", "communism" without truly embodying and advocating for what's on this list may still be helping, but their view has holes. we have nothing without our collective health.
10 principles of Disability Justice:
1. Intersectionality
2. Leadership of those most impacted
3. Anticapitalist Politic
4. Commitment to cross-movement organizing
5. Recognizing Wholeness
6. Sustainability
7. Commitment to crossed is ability solidarity
8. Interdependence
9. Collective Access
10. Collective Liberation

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

While out for a walk I saw an old man wearing a shirt that said “you are not alone,” and as I walked by I looked at his masked face, and as I walked by he looked at my masked face, and for that moment at least for that moment the words on his shirt felt true.

Many people don't know that #birdflu is found in more than just birds. Use the search engine on the website to find which mammals have been affected in your area. If you find a dead animal outside, make sure to protect yourself by wearing gloves and an N95. #H5N1 www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-po...
Picture shows a map of the U.S. with points indicating where mammals with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza have been found. 

Data with specific information and locations can be found in the table below the map (on the website). 

Detections of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Mammals
Last Modified: March 25, 2025

There are many species that are potentially susceptible to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). In addition to birds and poultry, H5N1 viruses have been detected in some mammals (see list below). Infection may cause illness, including severe disease and death in some cases.

one of the funniest Generative AI claims is that it's "for people who can't draw." the one thing that people seeking to take me down a peg have said for the past 25 years is that i can't draw. i do it anyway and it's fun and it's fine. to refuse to doodle is to abdicate your own humanity

When they say: "no one owes each other anything" Run away, you won't be able to count on them and they have individualism/capitalism to unpack. They've been conditioned to believe things can't be any better, that people can't treat each other any better. You never see ppl like that at mutual aid.

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

A mask is one of the most effective tools of the resistance. A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects from Covid, flu, H5N1, TB, measles & more. It sends a strong message to the government that your health is worth protecting & that you will not obey in advance. It makes activism accessible

How did Covid policy impact this election result? Where there’s mass death and disability there is fear. Where there is fear there is opportunity. People will embrace a leader who makes them feel like they’re ‘superior’ as a means of coping with the trauma they’ve been through.

If you’re struggling to disconnect and protect your peace right now… my article on radical rest might help. When you’re chronically ill you must learn to rest. You either do it voluntarily, or the body will find a way to force you. This skill will be extra important in the coming weeks:

It's Time to Throw Away the 'Coulda, Woulda, Shouldas' and Practice Radical Rest
When you're chronically ill you can't push your body the way non disabled people do. You have to learn to rest. There's few words more damaging to us than the 'coulda, woulda, shouldas'

bob hope understood something a lot of people still can't reconcile: apologizing is actually really easy and you can do it as much as you want

Still, in 1989, in his mid-80s, Hope used the word "fag" on The Tonight Show. GLAAD immediately asked for a statement apologizing for the slur. Instead of telling them to get a sense of humor and calling them snowflakes, Hope shocked them by creating an original PSA for the organization on gay-bashing. Taped at his own expense, he gave it to GLAAD with permission to run it as much as they liked. "It was pretty extraordinary. We can't even get progressive artists to do that," Karin Schwartz, a GLAAD deputy director, said when it was announced.

I see lots of you are struggling to get useless, unmasked healthcare workers to leave windows open to reduce your risk of covid, flu, etc. I tell them the air helps me have fewer seizures. Seizures create lots of work for them. You can tailor that excuse to whatever reason you’re in hospital for.
