The @cityofdetroit.bsky.social Office of Disability Affairs turned 4 yesterday. I have some thoughts since I was set up the fail by the ODA director. The office is a hostile and unsafe place for disabled people to work. Employees are isolated, verbally abused, and their talents are squandered.
I’m going to wait 3 days to see how this whole Pope situation turns out.

It’s hilarious to me when people call Elon Musk an inventor when he even stole his fascism from his grandfather. Dude is worth over 300 billion and he can’t even dream up how to be a loser on his own.

WL talk. Snark.

Apparently Lizzo is trying to rebrand WL as weight release. I wonder if it’s like emotional release. Did her body fat scream into the void?

People keep talking about how people being kidnapped and disappeared is what happened during the holocaust. This is what happened during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Don’t forget that kidnapping people into slavery has been happening since the 15th Century.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

It’s nice that @meidastouch.com is surpassing Joe Rogan but the only people I’ve see on their network are white guys. What’s the point if you’re just a leftest white supremest misogynist? Do they not know anyone other than white men?

It occurred to me recently that what lockdown we did have was the first time most Americans had seen the state say no to businesses, and it made them lose their minds
Also America did not have long or onerous lockdowns, I am going to lose my mind
Posting about the 'laptop class' or 'PMCs' is the class analysis of fools. Scratch the surface and its really about disdain towards women and feminised men. Also, as with any complaints about how COVID was handled, kids being slightly ahead in school isn't worth trading for a single human life.

One blessing in this process has been consistently being affirmed. One of the external tenure reviewers, Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, shared his evaluation of my case and gave me permission to share it. His assessment was ignored. You can read the letter here drive.google.com/file/d/11fm2...

Trump referring to federal student loans as part of “America’s portfolio” tells you all you need to know about the hell that’s coming for us. I’m fully team don’t pay. What loans? I don’t acknowledge loans. I’m forgiving the loans myself.

Elon Musk, “Americans are parasites and empathy is the worst thing to have in the world.” Actively works to cut social security benefits to the elderly, disabled people, and children who have lost a parent
Also Elon Musk, “OMG why are you all so mean to me?? I haven’t done anything to anyone.”

Don’t mind me. I’m weepy because someone just gave me the contact info for a nationally renowned window restorer who specializes in steel window restoration. I have his tutorial videos saved. 🥹🥹🥹

Trying to find handy people who will help me restore my house has been so difficult. I have been trying to find someone to remove my steel framed windows so I can restore them and most people aren’t interested in just installing them they want to do the whole thing.
