The thing I find most frustrating as a disability reporter is that it is considered acceptable to only talk to professionals and parents — That disabled people, particularly those with cognitive disabilities, aren’t worth talking to.

It has made me notice who gets asked for comment on other beats.

Hey, I resemble this remark!

I have been on this drug my whole life how is this still a recurring problem!!

Amy!! Oh this is happy news. All the best to you and your family. 💛

Knots will continue until morale improves

The NYRB translations are often great. I like Tove Jansson's books for adults, and they feel spiritual akin to Ogawa.

I'm opting for festive green leggings and a sweater dress for the one I'm going to today

It’s not writing off a portion of the population to say that workers should not be racist to customers! The entire conservative movement has coalesced around the idea that it is somehow discriminatory to judge people by their actions.

My top tip for pragmatists is that everything gets harder in austerity and climate crisis, so better to do the work of organizing movements to push our electeds to do things they don't want to do before before things get any worse instead of being oh, well, too bad but this disaster could be worse!

My read on the whole mess is that the expanded grid is supposed to tempt new commuters to take the bus, but nothing about the experience post-change screams user friendly or conversion to me, I gotta say

Every dinner hour bus I've tried to catch since the snow fell has been a total disaster and this is the only time it's actually been my fault--at least this bus showed up and was on time

But we are spoiled with our current level of snow clearing according to our current Chair of Public Works, so I guess this is as good as it gets.

I have lived downtown for most of my adult life and I have never seen the City actually follow their own policy of clearing the downtown sidewalks to the paved surface.

The whole thing makes me livid. Fund a bunch of amazing extracurriculars and public transit if you want kids on their phones less, jfc!

It is so unfair to kids to make them the centre of culture wars they didn't ask for in the name of religious extremism or in the absence of appropriate regulation or resourcing.

It was a great interview, and I was absolutely crying in the kitchen by the end 💜💜
