Hey Philly 🔔 If you have IBX coverage, know that they're currently fighting with Jefferson Health and if they don't reach an agreement Jeff will be out of network come 2027. That's the biggest care provider in our region. Please call IBX and tell them to fix it or suffer come open enrollment.

The constant social media demands to "say something." Some of us have been DOING things for decades.

So fascinating that the few times I've written for the NYT the fact-checking was grueling like, "please provide proof of disabled people's humanity," and men are out here writing articles mad about books they haven't even read and arguing things like, "Frisbee is better than writing because vibes!"

I need to ditch squarespace for my author site but want to have access to some basic editing/design tools and hosting that I don't have to worry about at all. I cannot underscore how much I do not want to think about this website. Where should it live? Please advise.

‘This is playing into his hands’/‘this will allow him to play the martyr card’/‘this will help with his fundraising’ are all really bad takes. Criminals should be arrested and charged with crimes.

If you've been thinking on @nhannahjones.bsky.social recent piece about the impossibilities of the school system for Black families in America, I'd also recommend Zinzi Clemmons's essay collection FREEDOM, which speaks to what she gained, and lost, from the opposite choice here in Philly.

A lot of people like to blame a lot of current education issues on covid and I'm sure a lot are valid, but as a college instructor it hit right before that, with the first group wo did their entire K-12 under No Child Left Behind. The difference was marked in literacy and critical thinking.

A lot of shaming coming from the GOP about people struggling because they're not trying hard enough or "making time for the things you value" and it's honestly kind of refreshing to see them fumbling their messaging as badly as the Dems do.

I would never turn MAHA but I absolutely have been radicalized in the disability rights sphere as a direct result of doctors treating me and my kids like trash, and I wrote a book about that, so, yeah, I think it's gotta be at least part of it.

Reminder that most of the really bad cuts haven't even kicked in yet because they are designed to hit after midterms. I know a lot of people don't think voting can be harm reduction, but I (a deaf queer with a deaf kid) do, and I think they do, too or they wouldn't be hiding behind that timeline.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

So many of our conversations in the deaf community involve hearing parents needing (and usually refusing) to learn sign for their deaf kids, but have you ever seen one do it and then be like, "oh no, you're effectively communicating that you're kind of a jerk" 😅😅

An ICE agent directed Emilio, a Venezuelan Deaf man, to get onto a bus. He asked for an interpreter and didn’t get one. When he saw a Mexican flag, he realized he was being deported to Mexico, sans passport. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

An extra layer of cruelty is added by limiting communication access for Deaf people.
