Well crap! I found out if I deactivate my Twitter account — unlike on FB where I think you can still reactivate long, long afterwards (unless they've changed their policy) — you have to reactivate before 30 days or it becomes permanent.

[Sage Ealy-Silk @EalySage]

So, I guess this means I'm just going to stop hanging out here, but leave my profile up. Which sucks, since I wanted to send that oligarch a message, but not at the cost of him keeping *my* data without *me also* having anymore access to it. ugh!💢

@StephenKuusisto Same here, but I am deactivating for the time being. (So, I'm not sure if you'll even get this reply before I manage to figure out *how* to deactivate, lol! But you and I are still connected on FB, at least.)

[Sage Ealy-Silk @EalySage]

@Ebonyteach @RutiRegan Thanks so much for passing along this advice. I guess I'll just be non-permanently deactivating instead of outright deleting my account. *sigh* This is like when LJ got bought up by one of Putin's goons, except the oligarch in question is one of Putin's lap dog's goons

[Sage Ealy-Silk @EalySage]

Well, not that I've been using this site very much lately, but this is Goodbye, as I'll be deleting my account in a few hours. People can still find me on fb: https://t.co/kodEApmZJ3

My sister was trapped in #Ukraine. This is a thread about her incredible journey to reach #Poland. During her escape she experienced #racism, injuries, freezing temps and sleep deprivation. Her story is only one of the hundreds of thousands of people trying to get out.

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.

He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Being indie has so much to offer in terms of freedom to experiment and to express yourself, but tight/no budgets means talented, hard-working folks are being dramatically underpaid.

.@Discord addition of Reply feature is v helpful to avoid confusion when responding to earlier message in fast moving conversation, but I'd love a master switch to turn off tagging by default so I don't have to do this every time; also would love keyboard shortcut for toggle

Good grief has it really been 11 years?!? I haven't been on Twitter in months, if not a year or more! Anyway, according to twitter, it's my 11th #MyTwitterAnniversary

Trump refused to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously, now he won’t take responsibility as his administration has been totally unprepared for this crisis.

This. Read this thread, it's only four short tweets. #BillPeace #CarrieAnnLucas

[LarkinTaylor-Parker @ltaylorparker]

How is anyone else supposed to?

[LarkinTaylor-Parker @ltaylorparker]

People who represent the best case scenario for people with significant, disability-related medical needs being assertive, having access to resources, and knowing their rights couldn't save their own lives.

[LarkinTaylor-Parker @ltaylorparker]

He and Carrie Ann Lucas had private insurance. They knew how to advocate for themselves. They had verbal speech. They had professional credentials and all the right connections. She was even a lawyer.

[Sage Ealy-Silk @EalySage]

Read this thread (only four tweets). #BillPeace

[LarkinTaylor-Parker @ltaylorparker]

I keep trying to find the words to talk about Bill Peace's death. He's the second important person in the disability rights world to pass away this year because of the penny-wise, pound foolish logic of insurance companies, because their lives weren't valued.

A clear and insightful contrast drawn between the humane practice of dog training and the inhumane — and downright abusive — practice of ABA (applied behavioral analysis) that many Autistic and disabled children have been subjected to: https://t.co/ba6yyime4z

This~! Many thanks, @PattyMurray! 💗

President Trump has been trying to use every tool at his disposal to sabotage families’ health care, and the Supreme Court is no exception. #StopKavanaugh
