Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community. Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics. Knock it off.

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

The U.S. just declared that trans kids can’t socially transition at public schools or get care in institutions that get any form of public funds. Given the science around suicidality in trans youth, that’s a threat to their lives. Canada and other nations must offer asylum for families.

Toxic behaviour and dehumanization of people with disabilities are on the rise, with politicians, companies, & others making life harder for them. History warns us to prevent repeats. You may not be disabled today, but the future is uncertain. Advocate and support now for all and yourself. #a11y

Today: Politicians and some places are... Ridiculing and mocking people with disabilities. Suppressing American Sign Language. Cancelling, defunding, or restricting research programs on disabilities and accessibility. Calling Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility programs as wasteful, radical, and "woke". Blaming disabled folks for irrelevant incidents. Many more happened and is happening... It is just starting now.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The text of this is fevered nonsense that will kill children. If you've ever been "just asking questions" or argued that this medical care is anything but the well-documented and correct treatment it has always been, I hate your guts and want you to know you deserve a life of abject misery.

a good friend’s cat i adore [for my dearest @signedech.bsky.social ’s children]

‘a good friend’s cat i adore’ (by ghazal, user odeonoud)

I should ask you more often : how has the day been?
I dislike rain but your curiosity for clouds is what I am fond of.
Yet, I shall never truly know if farewells are just as heavy for you.
Maybe, this is a flaw, loving so unknowingly. But, I will try again.
I will wrap this heart of mine tight inside a red ball of yarn. Take it.
Teach me how I should live. Climb in my bed. I love you so dearly.

this poem is written for a dear friend’s cats, whom i love so much.

Please read this from Caster Semenya and remember the humiliating and degrading testing she's been put through is what Republican legislatures have endorsed in their attacks against trans people--up to and including coercive medical treatments forced onto young people whose bodies defy the binary.

Ok, paywalled and eight years old so I’ll screenshot. I mean.

One day the occupation will end. It will probably happen in one fell swoop. And when it happens, it will suddenly emerge that everyone was against it. That the politicians had actually worked to end it, that the journalists strove indefatigably to expose its injustices, that the cultural institutions condemned it courageously and that Israeli academia was a center of persistent resistance, from which the struggle drew ideological and moral backing. In short, everyone was part of the Resistance.

One day the occupation will end, because regimes of this kind are not viable. They are bound to fall, because regimes of suppression, almost by definition, are unstable.

It’s true that it’s hard to imagine it now, because our rational expectation is to see signs in advance of far-reaching change of this kind, and the fact is that we do not now see such portents. But historical processes do not necessarily follow a linear path.

The ground on which the occupation stands might appear firm. But it’s definitely possible that beneath it, close to the crust, fissures are forming. Increasingly wide cracks are being created. Those who stand on that ground do not see them. They think the ground is more firm than ever. And then, with no prior warning, the cracks will widen and the ground will collapse like a Dead Sea sinkhole.

One day the occupation will end, just as apartheid in South Africa was vanquished, as the Berlin Wall fell, without anyone expecting those events even shortly before they occurred

And then, when the occupation ends, we will discover that it wasn’t hundreds of Israelis who demonstrated at the West Bank village of Bil’in, but tens of thousands. And that everyone supported the B’Tselem rights organization. That’s how it is with a bad memory. In the best case, it’s repressed, in the worst case, it’s replaced by fictitious memory.

I read this piece by the Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard in 2016. I remember at the time thinking that he had nailed it, and I've thought about this piece often since then. I just googled to find it again this evening; it still rings so, so true. Even as far away as peace feels now.

The Israeli occupation will end suddenly

The strength of organizations working to end the occupation and their supporters is greater than we think.

The cover of my second novel RAKESFALL. It has a design of yellow hibiscus flowers, green leaves, a hare's skull, and worms set against a pink background.
