Now we're all just useless eaters to them.

It is not so long ago that disability policy was bipartisan. I taught at the Bush School, and George H.W. Bush would talk about his pride in signing the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Every once in a while during the 2024 campaign, I'd meet parents of disabled kids who were part of Moms for Liberty or people who taught autistic kids. @slooterman.bsky.social writes how they are afraid right now as Trump targets special education staff.

Severely disabled and I wouldn't bring my service dog to a protest, and I have a way better reason than "just because." Huge crowds, especially agitated, are the worst thing to put a dog in the middle of.

Oh dear, I just heard someone on the radio say they're going to a No Kings event tomorrow and bringing their dog.

Please, don't bring your dog. Please. I don't care how good your dog is, please don't bring it just in case something goes sideways.

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. As a severely disabled goth teen, seeing a deformed freak like me who just wanted to make art and have friends made me feel seen for the first time.

And people really don't seem to be looking for new things right now. They want comfort and nostalgia.

I can't create in our current world. It's almost impossible to break through the noise and anxiety, and I burn out.

We should use that in these calls. Point out the double-standard. Make them have to explain why FapGPT and others are selling pornography with their system when they claim to be against that.

I'm a severely disabled, widowed trans fem trying to survive on my own. My aid care costs more than my rent. I don't get Medicaid. PLEASE SHARE AND DONATE IF YOU CAN!

It's our anniversary (would be our 31st) and I don't want to work tonight, but I got rained out yesterday and can't afford to stay in. I'm not doing great. Anything helps.
