Hello Seattle friends please fill out this survey regarding the gay beach and how we can improve it! I emphasized accessibility and transit, especially since BIPOC and QT people who frequent the beach also have large disabled contingent and how third spaces need to be accessible to all of us. :3

Oral arguments were the latest legal step in a case that began with a lawsuit challenging Indiana's abortion ban. The case could have implications for other states with similar abortion bans and religious freedom laws if plaintiffs there bring similar lawsuits.

Can there be a religious right to abortion?
Two women and Hoosier Jews for Choice argue that a near-total ban in Indiana violates their religious freedom. The case was in front of the state Supreme Court on Thursday.

THIS IS WHY WE DON'T LISTEN TO THE CENTRISTS. Alt text version:
Image: poll results for 4 questions about Black civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s US. Results of each question are shown on a bar with pro-Black responses in blue, anti-Black responses in red, and neutral responses in gray.
First section is titled "Freedom Riders, sit-ins (May 1961)" with two questions. 
Q1: Do you approve or disapprove of what the "Freedom Riders" are doing? Results: 22% approve, 61% disapprove, 18% no opinion. 
Q2: Do you think "sit-ins" at lunch counters, "freedom buses" and other demonstrations by Negroes will hurt or help the Negro's chances of being integrated in the South? Results: 28% help, 57% hurt, 16% no opinion. 
Second section is titled "March on Washington (August 1963)" with one question. 
Q: What are your feelings about this [proposed mass civil rights rally]? Results: 23% favorable, 60% unfavorable, 17% no opinion/undecided.
Third section is titled "Whites on 'demonstrations by Negroes' (October 1966)".
Q: All in all, do you feel the demonstrations by Negroes on civil rights have helped more or hurt more in the advancement of Negro rights? Results: 15% helps, 85% hurts.

At the bottom of the image are the following notes: 
Note: White respondents only. Source: Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates during October 1966, and based on personal interviews with a national adult sample of 1,250. Sample size is approximate. As reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Data provided by the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research. Image is labeled "The Washington Post".

I am still thinking about @adapalmer.bsky.social's Terra Ignota series (which is a very fun read) and I think it is very powerful to have a character that is basically "What if a Frenchman had the disposition of a reactive Pomeranian with a kitchen knife taped to it". Mycroft Canner is very fun too

When I feel bad about myself and feel like I am a failure of an adult person, I do need to remind myself that I am doing pretty well for someone who is quite sick who lives in a society where even fully abled people need to drug themselves every day in order to function.

At the center is Ken Martin, the 53-year-old party chairman, who has found himself increasingly isolated, gripped by the fear that he will lose his job and relying on a vanishingly small circle of people he trusts, according to interviews with more than two dozen Democrats, including current and former D.N.C. officials and members.
Most of them spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the party's troubled state of affairs.
Mr. Martin's fraying nerves are showing. In a pique of frustration in early July, he threw his phone at the desk of a junior aide while upbraiding the person. The phone-tossing incident resulted in a formal complaint to the D.N.C.s human resources department.Now, Mr. Martin is both paralyzed by the idea of leaks and surrounded by them. During a May meeting with the full staff of the D.N.C. days after the draft autopsy's release, he admitted that times were tough and chided the team for revealing to reporters what was happening inside party headquarters.
"It pisses me off when I see leaks out of this building," Mr. Martin said, according to four people who heard the remarks, adding, "No more."
Mr. Martin said he saw "a lot of down faces" and
"people hanging their heads." He urged: "Keep your head up. Keep a smile on your face."
"My success is your success," he added at another point in the meeting. "So the weaker I am, the weaker all of you are."
Mr. Martin has not addressed the entire party staff since.

It's really off-putting that, even as the administration has used the scapegoating of unhoused people with disabilities as a way to manufacture consent for taking away disability rights, the disability community by and large has not been trying to address hatred of unhoused people with disabilities.

In these times where neo-Nazis are exploiting discourses around anti-Blackness and disability (in this case, a man with Tourette's Syndrome saying the n word), I do think it is imperative that disability organizations (re-)affirm a commitment to antiracism and meaningfully support Black PwDs.
