At 14, Ed Roberts was disabled by polio. He later became known as the father of the independent living movement.

At @motherjones.com, I interviewed Scot Danforth about his new book on Ed Roberts' life. @ucpress.bsky.social

I like to remind people about lifetime limits and the refusal of insurers to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

The ACA has issues. But those 2 things alone make it worth saving and fixing.

Roundcat keeps headbutting and licking my glucose monitor to let me know he is unhappy with the supposed lateness of his dinner. He started at 4:50, easily 40 minutes too early.

Reminder to boycott @cbsnews.com and Paramount Plus. Bari Weiss is a transphobic anti-Black Islamophobic racist who has repeatedly accused Palestinians of faking genocide, said Islam is at war with the west, platformed and spread lies that trans people are a social contagion,

Bari Weiss Named CBS News Editor-In-Chief, Solidifying Network's Rightward Shift

The network will also acquire her publication, The Free Press, for a hefty sum.

Opened the app to post a vulture, saw someone accusing people of being ableist against AI. Goodnight all, I absolutely cannot with that asshattery. #birds #vultures

A black vulture looking over his shoulder as if to say “what did that person just say? Ableist against AI? Really?”

Shabbat shalom. It’s finally cold enough that I can go hide under an actual quilt for the rest of the night, and I shall. Roundcat is already on the pillows waiting for me.

Shabbat candles and a bunch of bric-a-brac on with the words “Shabbat shalom, free Palestine” written above.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
