Feeling naive because sometimes I still get shocked at how blatantly discriminatory the Canadian media landscape is while reporting on suicide compared to reporting on MAID

Spending 95% of my daily energy on one task outside on a beautiful day so I can then rest in bed for 2 days straight inside. I feel like I can do about consistently 5% of what I want to do with my body if that makes sense

I also think people have not thought thru the endpoint: the only reason *some* good information can be gleaned now through an AI lit review is because human beings did analysis & thinking & synthesis that the machines pilfered. This info will be trash with less human involvement down the line.

This is a good read. I'm also thinking about how almost all disability organizations, including ones for Tourette's, have very white leadership, which means many fail to approach situations like this with intersectional nuance. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

More abuse of disabled immigrants by Border Partrol. They seem intent on targeting those who they perceive as weak or unable to fight back. This man was blind and didn’t speak English… they left him out in the cold. He died. Make noise for Shah Alam.

Did that broke thing of needing a snack and having nothing snack like so I had a spoonful of peanut butter and a swig of soymilk. After eating a dinner of lentils and rice. Being on disability is just eating variations of legumes and grains every day forever

You know, the ‘please hold space for people with disabilities to say the n-word with a hard -er’ is never a demand being made by Black people living with disabilities It shows how deeply white supremacy subtends a lot of what passes for Disability Justice

I’m Black and disabled. It’s the racism of the disabled community. Imagine thinking you can police how Black people should respond to racial slurs being hurled at Black folks at the BAFTA Awards because the person who said it is disabled.

Mutual Aid Request: an old dear friend of mine recently slipped on ice, hit his head, and lost consciousness in -40. He suffered severe frostbite on both hands and both feet. Currently, he can't use his hands, feed himself or function independently. I am collecting donations to help support him during this difficult time. Even if you can only contribute $5 to $10, every little bit adds up. If you donate $50 or more, I will mail you a print of my artwork (within Canada).

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I’m sure it’s been said before, but the ultimate white privilege is not being defined by your worst acts. Any article on Vance (or Musk, Trump, Miller, et. al.) should include the context that they’re explicit white supremacists. But once the latest scandal abates, they always reset to respectable.

Does anyone have suggestions for a gentle de-radicalization along these lines? I wish I had more books, podcasts and YouTubers to send people drifting into the Rogan-verse
I can't even believe I'm asking this but since you read a lot....a question: Is there something you'd recommend to a lost disaffected (also unemployed, single, lonely) white male who is veering toward the stereotypical Joe Rogan manosphere "women libs and gays are the reason for my problems" mentality?
I need something gentle to send someone that is not a book or overly academic
