‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

I feel so angry that we lose these incredible people while the shiitiest fucking demons get to live. It makes me so fucking angry, Im just so upset.

I’m heartbroken over @sfdirewolf.bsky.social. We weren’t close but when I needed help, she offered it without second guessing. The world is going to be dimmer now that she’s gone, but her work has changed the world forever.

This is a reminder, thank and love on people while they’re still here ❤️

Because this has happened to me - a shelter in Spokane was so notorious for its targeting it had to close, and I'm tired of not speaking on it - I need people to understand: if you're an undocumented Indigenous person, you are a target, and the Gov't knows you will have no community to help you.

Ive been revisiting my dissertation and I just cannot say enough about good journalism. To the brave reporters who go where no one else will, and despite push back will cover what they feel will bring justice to those impacted. My dissertation work relied on reporting from the early 2000s and

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

Ah yes. It seems according to the DOE, Clinical Psych, Health administration, and grad programs in public health are no longer considered professional degrees ha

how cool would it be to have a low-sensory conference where instead of performing academia we all get together and lie on the ground and listen to talks using our own headphones like a silent disco and we use spirit fingers instead of clapping. and its not weird to be horizontal

Okay updates on the fire situation!! when I first contacted the fire dept I was told they don’t keep a list of wheelchair bound or bedbound people which is SHOCKING given California is like fire capital of the US & bc of last January. But I digress. I contacted my local city council member, board,
Had my first fire evacuation today. Guess I’m officially a SoCal resident. Except this time i am wheelchair/bedbound. When I tell you i was about to be a roasted chicken nugget. They closed hr elevators so i couldn’t get down. I just called the fire inspector to help me safety plan for next time.

For qualitative researchers who do manual transcription, do you know if there’s an alternative to the foot pedal? I can’t use my legs and am wondering if there’s a hand or elbow version?
