Good folks of #medsky I’m interested on your take on the Fauci Congressional deposition. I’m looking for cultivated and informed opinions who are familiar with his work and who watched the hearings, this is not a post for rage replies. Just interested parties with critical views and analysis! Thx!

This message is to all world leaders, billionaires and current trillionaire: Please leave the MOON alone. We really, really need it. It does super important stuff like make waves and keeping earth on its axis- you know- the basics. We only need it to be a moon- not for resources or energy.

I’d love to be the person who cares about a ballroom but as far as I’m concerned, the least important building in the world is the White House. America- you agreed to round two of that lunatic- he’s a convicted felon w/out restrictions. Also: Gaza, unrestrained poverty, global warming, et al.

Building a website is really really hard and I hate it. I can’t wait to go back to playing music, reading books, researching Basic Income and writing stories. And playing with puppies. Obviously playing with puppies. When I am done my website, I am doing all those things starting with puppies.

Ontario, you have until 9PM to vote! All you need is ID and a piece of mail with your address OR your voter card (if you got it). Call your friends and neighbors and help those who may be struggling to get out there. #onpoli #ElectionDay #Ontario

Are you a PWD living in Ontario? This election will make all the difference to the socioeconomic health of PWD in Ont. We’re working together to unite & ensure that PWD are properly represented by manifesting themselves as a VOTING BLOC. Ensuring accessibility for all & accountability for incumbents

What’s happening in Belgium rn? Thinking on it, what’s happening in Europe just in general? I think I read this chapter of “dystopia on the forefront” in a high school history textbook. It ended with a world war & lots of economic, political & social ramifications. I should check my notes.

Don’t say “sorry” unless you’re actually planning on being accountable for the damage and harm you’ve caused. That very powerful statement of contrition is basically irrelevant without the actions to back it up.

Just sang Con Te Partiro - I haven’t in a while and practicing is good, or so I tell my students, anyways. I digress, singing Con Te, and during the event, therein enters High A. High A doesn’t seem high until you’re singing it for the first time in, well, a long time. 🤩

I am extremely tired of working so hard at being too nice. I have an unending need to value ppl’s needs and feelings and ensure they are all validated but that ends up meaning that other ppl who I care about feel invalidated and invisible and, to a certain degree, betrayed. It’s exhausting.

Something which goes under-discussed in mainstream disability communities & advocacy is how Black Disability is specifically addressed. Specific to my research where Basic Income is concerned, I see this as an important learning opportunity & this is skipping the queue for the next books to read.
