@SFdirewolf's intro is powerful, personal, and empowering, perfectly setting up this book's emphasis on disabled love, tenderness, and joy It reminds me that disability isn't just my job, it's my life - and to keep going, I need to recenter community in everything I do

I don't tweet much but when I do, I tweet: I'm in awe of @VilissaThompson's epic, receipts-included, lioness-who-has-caught-her-next-snack responses to Mr. Moore's latest 💣Acme Misogyny Bomb that, again, blew up in his face. And his timing? Right before #InternationalWomensDay

Even if we saw the graves or corpses of the thousands of Americans dying from COVID every week, it probably won't push the needle much. Am I cynical? You fucking better believe it.
We’re sentencing thousands of people to death every week so people can live in a make believe fantasy land where the pandemic is over.

A few of my Jewish friends have told me they have never felt more potent antisemitism than in recent weeks. They are legitimately scared to discuss being Jewish.
I am not blind to the scourge of antisemitism. I have discussed and studied it for years. However, the past few weeks have shown me how many people despise and resent Jews, as well as how many people don't realize the extent of antisemitism.

One of our plaintiffs, @IngridTischer understands what its like to have to advocate for yourself when you're at your most vulnerable. Doctors should offer care, not death. #EndAssistedSuicide #FalseChoice

Must Watch: A 3-and-a-half minute video from Canadian disability advocates about the euthanasia of disabled people. Don't think it can't happen here. Remember, all who die by assisted suicide in the U.S. are disabled and their reported reasons are disability related.

🇨🇦 “Over the past year… people have considered applying for or have died by MAID [#euthanasia & #assistedsuicide] for reasons such as insufficient housing and meagre social supports that have left them in perpetual poverty."
Proponents of medically assisted dying (MAID) say it gives suffering individuals a painless end. But for people with disabilities, Canada's MAID laws have gone too far, writes @meagangillmore. CW: This article contains discussions of suicide. thewalrus.ca/assisted-dying/

Luterman's Can Americans Really Make a Free Choice About Dying? tells the story of disability opposition to assisted suicide laws to progressives who have previously almost exclusively heard about conservative opponents. We hope our message will be heard. notdeadyet.org/2023/05/the-n…

Per @vulture: @hankgreen "ends the video requesting movies, TV shows, and video games that have very little in the way of “emotions,” because he wants to be distracted but does not want to cry" Mr. Green, I got you: @southsidechi amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B…

"Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults...to seek [MAID] due to an inability to receive medical treatment (51%) or a disability (50%). Fewer than three-in-ten would consent to expand the guidelines to include homelessness (28%) or poverty (27%)..." researchco.ca/2023/05/05/mai…
