sometimes when my aging Chloe cat gets up from lying down, she makes a soft "eugh-ergh" noise very similar to that of the venerated Thwomp

This is a subtweet about delivery services. Thank you. 🫡
Here's the thing about the intersection between disability and labor.
Those services ARE needed. Yes, those ones that you think are extraneous.
The workers who provide them deserve good working conditions, safety measures, and pay enough to live comfortably on.

I want to live in a world where even if there's a "cause" of autism found, the answer would be "so?" But we don't live in that world, and that includes people on all parts of the political spectrum.

I usually emphasize the last syllable of "hello," but after careful consideration I will now be emphasizing the hell we live in.

NYT calls out a troubling truth: many older people with disabilities don’t ask for help, not just because of cost, but because of stigma.
“Many people still feel like ‘disability’ is a dirty word”

Wheelchair? Hearing Aids? Yes. ‘Disabled’? No Way.
Many older Americans shun an identity that could bring helpful accommodations, improve care and provide community.

GOOD NEWS: @ramirez.house.gov will be working with @sanders.senate.gov to introduce the Pensions for All Act.
The bill requires corporations to provide traditional pension plans for their workers or pay into the federal retirement system to ensure all workers receive retirement benefits.

my maybe controversial woke take is that we need to bring the same "abolish the police" energy to the medical profession, and I don't just mean health insurance companies
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

my toxic trait is I don't believe having a neurodivergent special interest makes you an expert.
that doesn't mean you can't be ND, have a special interest, and become an expert!

The way Clericatl describes their journey doesn't feel much different than my own.
I hope better treatment/cures become available for FMS. I was diagnosed in like 04/05. It's been a struggle if I'm honest. I've always felt this was more nervous system related & less everything else. -

On behalf of the Pit Crew's fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, we ended up raising $11,317.45 in total. I'm floored by the generosity of this community. I don't know what to say apart from thank you!
