It’s been a while…all I have to say is: hey #doctors? #MedicalProfessionals? If you have patients with #hEDS or any other variation of #EDS and they tell you that something is wrong? Listen to them. Don’t gaslight them. Don’t belittle them, write them off, ignore them, etc. you know why? 1/5

To be clear, folks don’t get to say things like “Globalize the Intifada” then be all shocked & say, “that’s not what we meant” when Jews all over are getting shot, set on fire or worse. Wtf did you think the Intifadas were? Don’t advocate for something if you don’t know what it is.

Our upstairs neighbor really needs to not have a cat…she clearly doesn’t know how to take care of or keep a cat without constantly screaming and stomping around. Literally all day and night. I think I now know what it would be like to live inside of a drum. It’s not as fun as one would think.

I know an economist who says when you hear people talk about a “covid like” supply shock it’s a sign that a recession is coming. And I know an epidemiologist who says when you hear people talk about “covid like” colds and allergies it’s a reminder that the pandemic never ended.

Hey. I’m still alive. I currently have a skin infection though. So uh… #ExcoriationDisorder really blows. What is that? Well, lots of folks know it as #Dermatillomania or #SkinPicking . It’s a problem that I’ve dealt with for a very long time. It impacts my life a great deal…clearly.

Sunday's random thoughts. When your body truly becomes a prison, you become less caring about your external prisons. People who deal with chronic pain, physical, emotional, and mental, are warriors in ways that healthy people have sometimes a hard time recognizing.

Having a disability or chronic pain is not only about limitations when you can't do something. It's also about the price you are paying for doing something.

There survive at least 4 pages that were recovered from the Nazi book burning in 1933. When I saw them posted over on Threads a while ago I recognized the typeset being from Magnus Hirschfeld's Geschlechtskunde. I scanned the corresponding pages and some parts on trans people further in the book:

I’m a bit late with this…the reason? B/c I’m disabled, funny enough lol. Because there’re so many months in a year, there’s multiple things things represented every month. This is one of them you might not know about: it’s Jewish Disability Awareness & Inclusion Month. #DigitalArt is mine 💜 #JDAIM

Alt text: A digital artwork celebrating Jewish Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month (JDAIM) in February 2025. The background features a textured, watercolor-like blend of pastel colors, including blue, green, pink, and purple, with scattered confetti-like specks. The text “Jewish Disability Awareness & Inclusion Month” is written in a hand-drawn, slightly uneven black font, with “Jewish” stylized in an ornate way. A blue Star of David is painted next to the word “Jewish.” In the bottom corners, there are symbolic illustrations: a green garlic bulb on the left and a blue spoon on the right, both outlined in fine sketchy lines. The date “Feb. 2025” is handwritten in black at the bottom right. The overall style is artistic, with a mix of soft and bold elements, blending disability and Jewish cultural symbolism.

Trump and his supporters often dehumanize #immigrants as “animals” or “aliens.” A human rights scholar warns that dismissing such rhetoric as bluster overlooks how words are a first step toward discriminatory and violent policies. buff.ly/4aEiUW8 (@niezen.bsky.social)

‘Aliens’ and ‘animals’ – language of hate used by Trump and others can be part of a violent design

Hateful language used to demonize particular groups of people had been used long before the era of Donald Trump, including by the Nazis.

Things I Learned From #TrueCrime: Never talk to cops w/out an Attorney present. Ever. No matter what they say, no matter how much they try to shame or guilt you over it. That is the literal Number 1 way to end up giving a false confession and ending up in jail or prison for something you didn’t do.
