We can disagree on how to address the disparity and inequity. However, I have no discussion for those who deny the disparity and inequity. Task conflict v. Personal conflict

I think Nikole Hannah-Jones' followup NYTimes magazine feature on her daughter's education and the Boston Globe story on the lesbian bar are both about people trying to make a series of choices in response to systemic problems and government policies which often punish Black and disabled people.

Spent the day in the backyard designing my booth layout and selecting which makes to bring for my first Carlsbad Village Street Faire. The event isn’t until November but I need time to make listings, price tags, and signage. I’m already overwhelmed. But that may have been the heat/humidity. 🥵🤪

Episode 3 of Lanterns showed the thin line Black parents negotiate of loving their kids while preparing them for the harsh world they'll face.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

I think a good way to think about the current moment is understanding white supremacy as a spectrum with passive acceptance as the status quo out to actively arguing for global genocide.

From artist’s image description under their IG post

Image description: a multi-colored illustration on a green background. Across the top and bottom reads in white handwritten all caps type, "I wish you all would love disabled people like you love disabled animals." In the center is an illustration of Jimothy, a raccoon with a spinal syndrome (SSS) that gives him a shortened torso. Surrounding him are different illustrated accents and flowers. To the side, reads the artist credit @CourtneyAhnDesign.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 18/07/2026
"I don't like being called cis" "I don't like being called white" "I don't like being called abled" That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*. Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

This week, Grammy-winning singer SZA, née Solána Imani Rowe, shared that she had received a formal autism diagnosis. It may help more Black women and girls see themselves in a community that often overlooks them. bit.ly/4wyEgxP
bit.ly
SZA’s autism diagnosis is a familiar story for many autistic Black women
Black women and girls on the spectrum have long been under-diagnosed and overlooked. A diagnosis arrives late for many of them — or not at all.

I’d argue that one of the most visible through lines in the war against The Bad Guys is specifically the subject of consent. At this moment in time Consent relates to how we engage with every element of our lived realities. And there are only two positions to have. You respect consent or you don’t

there is no group of people who deserve quasi-suspect class status more than trans people. I swear to god, people need to read Carolene Products. They are a discrete and insular minority with zero political power as evidenced by the fact that they're being attacked left right and center.

“What do you rebuild in its place?” is so bizarre. Deciding what to build in its place is a POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY, not a vexed problem. Build it back the way it was, but better. Make it the home of your new Agency for Retribution and Reconstruction. Hell, put up a daycare center. PICK A THING.
