I shouldn’t say anything, the internet whiny pissbaby already has enough attention… But the idea that a “FANTASY AUTHOR” might write something insightful is foreign to him because he only reads white men who agree with him. Not like fantasy has always been a lens to examine the world or anything

Also, quick reminder for people whose lives have not been touched by abuse—PTSD and C-PTSD are very common among survivors, so do be mindful of what you post. It can stick with people far more painfully than you intended. Comments about the mom, for example, or who should have expected this.

If you have any history of abuse, do not watch the video of that representative being interviewed. I shouldn’t have and I am still amped up hours later. Those of you lucky enough not to speak abuser should, though. The guy is textbook.

Library pro tip: never go in without locking the emergency stop. If the lights are motion activated and you’re alone, they will definitely turn off if you’re in there, someone will come in and assume sensibly that there’s no one there. Ask my busted ribs how we know!

Hey, Washingtonians, Oregonians, Canadians et al—your resident “never stopped masking because my lungs and immune system suck” pal here. Just like when selecting a mask for virus protection, you want the mask that provides the best seal. Check for gaps around your chin, corners of your mouth, nose.

What in the chicken fried fuck did I just read They’re doing turd eugenics now?

So. Found out a year later that I am in fact allowed to talk to you about books I wrote. I’m even allowed to tell you you should buy them. I’m just not allowed to sell them like…out of my house. Jason can! So. Now that I have fully wasted a year: holy shit I have written 9 books please look

It’s apparently “don’t share inspiration porn o’clock”. A disabled person doing something skillfully should not be cause for “shock”. Especially when that person has been doing whatever it is for 40+ years. Objectifying someone for nondisabled feel-good time is demoralizing.

I guess what is really irritating me is that they have the scripts for these segments, right? Somebody wrote them. These aren’t off the cuff interviews. It would take two minutes to bung them up on the episode page.

You have got to be shitting me. The BBC only does transcripts for the podcast about disability. Because disabled people only care about benefits and shit, why would we ever want to learn about other things?

Oh hey fellow makers, this is VERY cool looking. Don’t have to go down with the Etsy ship! fybe.art

Were it not for Bluesky, I would not be alive and trying to restart my life, and that isn’t an exaggeration. It’s always been more than politics. Having decent politics makes it generally more likely you’ll be an interesting person to talk to, though. 🤷🏻

Begging you, reporters everywhere: stop using this framing. Anyone anywhere at any time can have an underlying condition. That has only become more true as you decided to join the war on COVID on the side of COVID. People with fallible bodies—all of us—deserve to not shit themselves to death.

My candle is metaphorically charred at both ends. I can tell, because I forgot the word “inclusion” in my dissertation meeting today. The dissertation about disability inclusion in libraries.

This is absolutely chilling; holy crap. Also got a bit of an uneasy chuckle out of the weird half self awareness of the “white knights”. web.archive.org/web/20260730...

This thread is a delight. Dr. Tanner handed some dudes who thought their law school degrees made them slick their asses.

Do you know how often my dreams revolve around the idea that I have missed a portion of my life? That people I love have straight up forgotten me? I am not a horror writer, and yet these feelings are so deeply unsettling that I am quite literally writing gothic horror about it.

Just your weekly reminder that an extremely strong indicator of being a bad person is who people feel comfortable picking on, and uh, people who single out disabled people tend to be the cream of that crop.
