Just a quick FYI that we’re going to be trying things out at Bluesky. If you’re also there, we’ll have some news tomorrow…

[Affect @AffectTheVerb]

Now that you’ve had a chance to get to know the participants a bit, we’ll be releasing the Together, We Mask photos throughout next week!

Last #DisabledAndHere interview of this series! @claudiaalick spoke about curating their home, making needs-based fashion choices, and reframing accessibility as mindset & practice: https://t.co/LXKuIMhZCr

At this rate, there will be no journalists left to cover israel’s atrocities in Northern #Gaza Strip.

They are tactically targeting journalists paving the way to new massacres where there’s no media coverage.
Jabalia and the northern provinces are being wiped out right now.

Thank you @Imani_Barbarin. As of now we have $200k in requests and we have sent out around $42k between our $20k and the money we’ve raised so far. We will continue to send out money as it comes in and get whatever we can to whomever needs it, including after Hurricane Milton.

Land Acknowledgements are always awkward and cringe for me.

Mainly because non-Natives are always so pleased with themselves like "We did it!"

And as a Native, you're put in the position of having to be "grateful" to them 🙄

Jesenia says, “I’m a queer first-generation Indigenous-Venezuelan-American, AutiHD (Autistic & ADHD), living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I’m an artist, community builder & organizer, disability advocate, scientist, cultural producer and activist.”

[Affect @AffectTheVerb]

We’re back with a #DisabledAndHere interview with Jesenia (IG: neurospicynetworking)!

For Jesenia going into algospeak, building disabled community, and plus-size fashion:

Bonus photo of Jesenia walking alongside Fabián (next week’s interviewee), because Jesenia has impeccable waist trainers (worn for back support, but appearing like a corset).

I’m just one writer speaking out against genocide & yet my statement was described as a screed & I have been called an antisemite & other hateful, ableist names. A statement isn’t an invitation for debate. #FreePalestine #MacFellow

Hard to believe but I am a 2024 @macfound Fellow! I am accepting the MacArthur Fellowship amidst the genocide happening in Gaza and indiscriminate terroristic attacks in Lebanon by the state of Israel on the 76th year of their occupation of Palestine
