The government is silent about it because governments do not care about disabled lives. They see us as drains on the system. “Useless eaters”. High cost health users. Anything other than people who are deserving of love and care. Most people will end up disabled at some point. Fight for us.

A 17-month-old girl was hospitalized with E. coli after consuming raw milk. Soon, another child — a 6-year-old girl who’d drunk milk from the same farm — would wind up in the same San Diego hospital, with the same potentially fatal illness.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I spoke to @usatoday.com about data on sexual violence at Cornell. Victimization rates are increasing and reporting rates are falling. “Together… those two trendlines tell me that all students, including victims and perpetrators, believe that there is impunity for sexual assault at Cornell.”

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Disabled people must “prove” they’re disabled enough to receive meagre benefits. Poor people must “prove” they’re poor enough for SNAP and social supports. US Senators don’t even have to prove they’re mentally competent to vote. Yet they decide who gets basic needs met.
