"A return to the normalcy of 2019 is a death cult, a fever dream—it is not a sustainable option for anyone in this ongoing pandemic. Disabled or not, those who aren’t taking precautions against COVID infection are living on borrowed time." thisisrachel.substack.com/p/a-trip-to-...

A trip to IKEA destroyed my life, or, #millionsmissing and the moral corruption of normalcy

'As masking crip killjoys, we hold together the dual realities that masks are an important, scientifically proven, part of a risk-mitigation protocol and that disabled people have an ambivalent relationship to masking'

Hugely valuable points re: the complexities of access friction & crip worlding.

Some of my favourite foods and recipes have come from friends. I first had chicken and sweetcorn soup at my best friend's house when I was like 12, a Spanish friend taught me to make tortilla when we both briefly lived in Prague, and most recently my adobo fixation c/o @elainagmamaril.bsky.social 🥰

I was just told single-anonymous reviewing, where the reviewer knows who the author is but not the other way around, is a thing. Is this true? This would be so counterproductive.

I lost my phone on the bus and tracked it to the bus depot. The company couldn't find it and has closed my claim. I guess it is stuck in Bus Limbo.
