If your project is so destructive and unpopular that you need to have people arrested for the audacious crime of clapping at a public meeting, your product is garbage and they arrested the wrong person.

The reason young people vibe with liminal horror is that the wealthy have spent the last half century destroying all anthropological spaces they can exist in, leaving *only* non-places

It is kind of a tell when they're like "we're trying to reduce your access to SSRIs and family-planning medications and also food and the vote"
There’s no medical reason to reduce the use of SSRIs just for the sake of doing so. They save countless lives daily, including mine. The HHS preoccupation with reducing their use is an intentional misdirection away from the true problems facing mental health: the world they’ve created is unlivable.

What we see now is the direct result of Trump’s blockade, not evidence of failure. Like so many humanitarian crises around the world which have spiraled out of control, what we see now is a magnified version of what we have been deliberately trying to do for decades.

Anybody in community with the older generation knows they're more capitalist than us. Those are their real strong values. They believe in capitalism strongly. It rewarded a lot of them, of course not all. We reject it more who come next because it looks like shit to us & it's never worked for us.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

There is a liminal space where opinion transforms into fact just before something becomes a “controversy” because someone says it is one. The reality is that public opinion started to change against us when they started claiming it was. The claim preceded the result.

Everyone should read this article by @nicktsergas.ca and then they should mask back up.
Too many people are living in fear and embracing a false sense of normal.
They’re so busy trying to pretend Covid is over, that they’re ignoring mounting evidence that multiple infections cause serious harm

New review in BMJ by @nicktsergas.ca: "Why scientists are rethinking the immune effects of SARS-CoV-2"
"People who are unwilling to consider the possibility of immune damage are perhaps driven by a fear of what those answers might mean."

Disability is not fun. It’s not a vacation.
It’s a 24/7 job where you’re lucky to receive a benefit that keeps you in legislated poverty.
It’s a constant fight for healthcare, accessibility, accommodation & inclusion.

If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95.
It’s not over. It was never over.
No one is coming to save us so we must save each other.
One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!

Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now.
Many saying “Covid is back”.
It never left. That’s why some of us are still advocating for mitigations.
Every infection is a dice roll with disability.

Institutionalizing people doesn’t make them “better”.
It doesn’t help them and it’s not compassionate.
It simply disappears them. Hides them away so the general public don’t have to face disability and mental illness.
People think it’s better because they don’t have to see it.
