sometime i feel the word disability tax doesnt fully describe the egregious dehumanization disabled folks constantly have to deal with. its the never-ending administrative violence on top of other forms of violence, that makes you physically and mentally unwell.

holy macaroni, our first ever bill (ab2212) just became law! so proud of our students 🥹 this process was so exhausting/enlightening. i have much to say about community-driven survivor-led policymaking... but for now i'll say i'm grateful for the lessons learned 💓 www.gov.ca.gov/2026/09/20/g...

SLP is still kicking my ass though so I have my work cut out for me. Diaphragm exercises give me so much fatigue. Really wish there was more discussion about how people with ME/CFS who go from very severe (for years) to mild/moderate rehabilitate 😮‍💨

i havent had anaphylaxis in 8 days which has not happened in 3 years. i've exerted myself for 8 days in a row (speaking for 5 hours straight, in my wheelchair for 4+ hours at a time, showering, etc). truly a miracle. really praying this new medication is not a fluke 😭 cuz if so i can start PT

Thats so true, you're right! And yup, exactly that. Our spaces often operate across multiple generations and we are responsible for their livelihood(s). It is so hard not to feel like you're constantly failing people, even though I know its due to *waves hand around*. Sigh.

YES! Most of the people around me are struggling so hard trying to figure it out, with literal lives at stake. It is so stressful and exhausting. I embarrassingly have shed many tears about it lol. 100% solidarity over here.

Assembly Bill 2212 will address tech-facilitated sexual violence
Assembly Bill 2212 doesn’t reinvent existing law, but rather updates campus protections to reflect how sexual violence increasingly occurs in the digital age.

also, although im sure well-intended... the number of people who, when i complain about something online, tell me to go speak to folks at Upturn ... where i literally worked at as a Senior Policy Analyst for years... continues to feel disrespectful D:
