A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic.

Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The World Health Organization said Thursday there had been no observable reduction in hunger since a ceasefire took hold since there was little improvement in the amount of aid going into Gaza, AFP reported on Thursday.</p>
<p>"The situation still remains catastrophic because what's entering is not enough," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters, speaking at the UN health agency's Geneva headquarters.</p>
<p>He said there had been "no dent in hunger, because there is not enough food" since the ceasefire commenced on 10 October. Dr Tedros said only 200 to 300 trucks were going in daily as opposed to the 600 trucks daily that had been agreed during the ceasefire. Israel has not been allowing the stipulated amount of aid to enter.</p>
<p>Israel also did not allow enough humanitarian aid in during its war, leading to a famine across Gaza. Therefore, significant amounts of food are needed to address the situation.</p>
<p>"Although the flow of aid has increased, it's still only a fraction of what's needed," Dr Tedros added. </p>
<p>Dr Tedros also lamented Israel's assault on Gaza's healthcare system. "There are no fully functioning hospitals in Gaza, and only 14 out of 36 are functioning at all," Dr Tedros said. "There are critical shortages of essential medicines, equipment and health workers".</p>

It’s incredibly lonely. There are good folks everywhere in solidarity, but mainstream progressives still seem committed to willful ignorance. A change can’t come soon enough. We’ll all be affected eventually.
Being disabled and chronically ill and immunocompromised in an ongoing pandemic encouraged by a eugenicist fascist state is so fuckin’ LONELY.
