You've all got #Emmys tweets covered, so I'll point out 1 thing you'll miss: a #narcolepsy joke! Inaccurately represented disorders are so funny! @SiliconHBO do your research, #EmmyAwards2018 choose a different clip, writers stop using narcolepsy as a punchline. #TheMoreYouKnow

A lot of people, especially on days like yesterday’s SCOTUS rulings, ask me about hope.
Now is the time to stick together. Some thoughts from last night’s Q&A:
Anna Marr retweeted
The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.
This is where it's at. Massive inspiration & reminder for disabled actors to keep working, keep fighting, keep being your full damn selves.
Congrats @TroyKotsur !!
Congrats to @TroyKotsur on this historic moment in our community. It’s been 35 since since a Deaf person has been nominated for an Oscar and we gathered old friends and collaborators throughout the 30 years that Troy has been with our company to say to the world: we told you so.

#CODA Best Picture of the Year!! Thank you @AppleTVPlus and the entire cast, crew and the producers. And hold on. More pictures are coming!
Thank you for finally bringing this out of the darkness.
A warning: this article focuses on suicide and contains details about those who have taken their own lives. Please take caution & care in reading. Resources available at the bottom of the article.
Most suicide websites focus on prevention. But the one started by two men who go by "Marquis" and "Serge" provides explicit directions on how to die. Our investigation linked the site to dozens of deaths and found that the toll is likely much higher. nyti.ms/3pKjnPl

This is the most gut-wrenching story I've ever worked on. So many deaths. So little accountability. And a long quest to find the two shadowy figures behind the website. w/@gabrieldance nytimes.com/interactive/2021…
Anna Marr retweeted
On todays Daily: difficult to hear but important episode. An investigation into popular web site that encourages people to commit suicide. Dozens of users have done just that. @mega2e and @gabrieldance on why such a dangerous site still exists: nytimes.com/2021/12/09/podca…
I've seen one of these guys work his ass off and the other attempt to bite poop off his own ass-- and one of them got an Emmy for it! Congrats, I love you (both) ❤️

The truth is Hollywood says it’s progressive but the fact is the people with money and influence will do anything within their power to protect their position including/especially throwing their working class employees under the bus. #IASolidarity
HELL. YES.
I’ve been waiting to share this with you all for a long time.
Here’s the trailer for Not Going Quietly, the documentary @PeoplesTV made about me, my family, and the progressive movement.
In select theaters August 12.

Truuuuuuuuuly wild we even have to ask this question.
Let's go one step further -- If your show or film portrays a character w/ a disability, hire *writers* with that disability.
When Hollywood decides to portray a character w/ a disability or serious medical condition, how might partnering w/ patient orgs & pple living w/ condition become standard practice & a win/win for all? @Respect_Ability @ststogether @PeterGSamuelson @ReelAbilitiesLA @Marrzipanna
