We could really use Carl Sagan right about now… #books #reading #history #libraries
A quote from the great Carl Sagan “One glace at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for a 1,000 years.  To read is to voyage through time.”

No kitten yet! Still waiting on the call from the rescue. They don’t have any yet. ❤️ (And I would normally adopt an older cat, but my dog is 5 years old! So they told me a kitten would be best.)

When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything. Managing it can be a full time job. Non disabled people can’t understand how hard we work to ration energy, avoid infections & minimize setbacks. Even when you do everything “right”, progress can be wiped out in an instant 🧵

Include disabled people in your resistance planning. In many ways we’re built for resistance, as we have to find creative and sustainable ways to survive every single day. This is the time for intersectionality and community care. We need to work together and save one another.

It’s so important to find ways to include disabled people in everything. I see so many so-called activists, leftists, etc. crapping on AI, and they don’t think twice about the ways it impacts disability. Please, please just try to learn about us. At least a little bit.

Obviously, AI isn’t perfect. It has a lot of flaws. It’s here to stay though, and disabled people benefit from it. Also, there’s often a connection between disability rights and “saving” the environment and they don’t always mesh.

Disability rights includes AI. AI art=bad. If you’re telling people not to use AI in general, though, please take some time to learn about how AI helps disabled people. It’s frustrating seeing so many negative posts about AI and not one mentions disabled people.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Getting out and about and seeing friends more is great! :) it’s so important to get on a good treatment for chronic illness. It can give people their life back. My life isn’t the way it used to be before I got sick. But I feel WAY better on my new treatment.

When Trump went after abortion rights, it was because he wanted to give the power back to individual States. Yet now we see ICE raiding sanctuary cities and clearly going against the will of the people in those States. Almost like it’s all BS and he just does whatever the hell he wants.
