The only acceptable reaction from actual men to the news out of Cornell is that these terrible excuses for human beings should be found and c*strated immediately. Any defense makes you as bad as them and is the explanation as to why you think women hate you. Hope this helps my guy 🙏🏼

Today’s the 36th anniversary of the ADA and maybe I’m naive, but I think we can live in a world where access doesn’t have to be legislated and a disabled person’s value isn’t determined by their productivity under capitalism and white disabled people aren’t centered and we care for each other.

In Atlanta last month, we asked local leaders what a #GoodLife means to them. Their answers were clear: Affordable and quality housing. Access to healthcare. Jobs with dignity. And above all: more time with family and less time stretched thin trying to make everything work. 📹

if this is not the country you know then you’ve never known this country how nice of her to let you sleep so long while so many people could never go to bed
if this is not the country you know
then you’ve never known this country
how nice of her to let you sleep so long
while so many people could never
go to bed
maybe now if you’re awake
all those dreams you had
with the safety of your comfort
can be what you fight to make real
so she can finally let the tired rest
and it can be your turn
to open your eyes

Reminder that two weeks ago, the US government had $900 billion to give to the military to be able to do things like commit war crimes in Venezuela, but they cut precisely the same amount in healthcare for poor and disabled folks in July, and millions more people are losing healthcare as we speak.

I didn’t actually believe it was true but for a brief moment I had this feeling. It was kind of like the moment I experienced love at first sight. Butterflies fluttering. A clear vision of the future. A warmth like a long hug in the bitter cold of winter. What was this feeling? It was hope.

For @teenvogue.com, I wrote about America’s favorite bipartisan pastime: starving people at home and abroad. As officials confirm what we already know, that there is a famine in Gaza, I hope we can all remember that none of this is unavoidable. It is a choice.

Gold background with the Building Movement Project and SolidarityIs logos at the top. There’s a picture in the lower right corner of Dom Kelly, a white man with short curly hair and a beard, wearing a maroon blazer and a black shirt with a chest tattoo visible. A quote from Dom, Co-Founder, President & CEO New Disabled South is included (excerpt from the Solidarity Is This podcast episode from April 2025): “I think that learning about and really spending the time to understand the 10 principles of disability justice is such a critical place to start. And to expand that beyond just reading the 10 principles, there's so much literature out there and thought from movement leaders around why these principles were chosen and the time spent by the folks at Sins Invalid on developing them and where they come from and the reasoning.”
