Untreated chronic pain leading to suicidality is not autonomy.

laugh-crying to ally prof: more recharging than a day and a half off of work, apparently? Or maybe it was the combo. But I was feeling like shit after the day and a half off before we talked, and now I’m feeling a lot better

i’be been to ~16 states since i left LA on 9/15, n i’ve seen, met, anticovid/clean air activists in as many as i’ve been able to; since that damn globe article came out, the rising despondence in all our voices has been difficult to ignore. we just don’t want to get sick, & want better for you too.

This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with @alexhanna.bsky.social about AI and workers, in which Hanna noted that bosses tend to think most feminized work can be automated because they imagine the work as reduced to the task itself and forget the necessary relational aspects.

Anybody can change from being fit and healthy to sick and bedbound.

Anybody can develop chronic health conditions or become disabled or terminally ill.

Anybody can change from being employed to unemployed and unable to work.

These things can happen to anybody.

Anybody.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Because we listen to scientists from many disciplines & b/c our loved ones with high risk conditions have given us experiences inside healthcare that we are highly motivated to avoid (like ICUs and ECMO and weeks/months of hospitalization and the ongoing physical, mental and financial pain).

Today I walked in the woods. I saw fall warblers & many mushrooms. I overheard women weep about rape culture. Now I will cuddle a dog, have dinner with a friend, then attend an n95-required festival with pals who organize for collective liberation while fascism flourishes. Rage & gratitude, daily.

A small, domed mushroom with a blush-pink cap and white stipe grows from a forest floor covered in russet-colored pine needles, speckled with golden autumn leaves, and with gnarled roots and mossy bits between the rest. In the background, an understory that is still summertime green is dappled with sunlight.

did you know that every day, more people are getting long covid? because the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic never actually ended, even if eveyone is acting like it? mask up and start stopping the spread again. we have the tools to actually end the pandemic. we just have to all pitch in and use them.

infuriating to see so many posts dismissing those calling for masks becuase the mask is not a systemic solution, when the only other people who showed up to beg for systemic solutions the public meetings i attended were also chronically ill & disabled people (+ woefully few allies) in masks 🤔

And I really do think that's what most of our disabled comrades are complaining about, insofar as they are. Not that we haven't eliminated all health risks in our spaces but that we don't behave like this stuff matters for all of us as a movement...

*We're" the ones who force them into having to consider their health individually when we decline to think about it collectively, rather than working with our disabled comrades to make reasonable choices re: weighing risks. Something they have more experience with anyway!

And yeah when you put people in that position, you are only gonna hear from certain people. You aren't gonna hear from people who don't want to talk about their personal needs in an organizing context, they'll just be quiet and protect themselves. Which is a big loss.
