It's not enough to walk away from Omelas. By itself, that does nothing and helps no one. It just lets you pretend your hands are clean. Find the kid, keep the kid safe, and take them with you.

How old were you when you learned the reason Reading Rainbow was canceled is because No Child Left Behind disqualified them for prior grants & book publishers kept increasing the cost of reading books on TV?

Hey y’all. Are you looking for HRT but don’t know where to start? Worried about therapist letters and gatekeepers? I made this two years ago and have maintained it since. EVERY informed consent HRT spot in the country. No therapist required.

Today, 500 Jews were arrested and 10k took to the streets to support and to demand a ceasefire and an end to Palestinian genocide.

We shut down congress to draw mass attention to the U.S. complicity in Israel's ongoing oppression of Palestinians. But our work isn't done. 🧵

“Ceasefire now!”

Led by @jvplive hundreds of American Jews take direct action in DC against US politicians complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians in Gaza,

Kaiser Permanente is a healthcare “non-profit” that reported $4.5 billion in profit for Q1 & Q2 this year, while paying its workers poverty wages.

Your reminder:
👉🏻 Strikes are supposed to be disruptive.
👉🏻 Strikes benefit all workers.

We need a permanent free N95 mask program. N95s protect against multiple health threats including COVID and bad air quality. Every person should be able to have N95 masks sent to their house free of charge, or be able to pick up free N95s from a local community center.

[Repro Workers @ReproWorkers]

It has never been clearer that all of repro needs to unionize than it has been today watching an RJ org lay off their entire staff while the rest of the movement is promoting a chatbot that does not work instead of paying actual human beings what they’re worth

When the gov says "we have the tools" they mean they do, not the rest of the population.
I caught COVID during a procedure at a hospital last week. My doctor wants me to take 10 days of paxlovid bc I'm immune deficient and have LC. Insurance approved 5 days and no more until 2/24

Making it simple for #SuicidePreventionMonth:
People need to be able to talk about suicide & suicidality without fear of being locked up.

[The Tweedy Mutant @the_tweedy]

How the fuck was everyone somehow convinced that the collective trauma experienced over the past 3+ years was due to remote work and masking and not, y'know, being abandoned to mass death and disablement in the name of unprecedented capital accumulation by the ultrawealthy?

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Some have given up on masking as they think there's no point if masks can't singlehandedly eradicate a virus (a right wing talking point). What they're missing is that higher risk people can't even get healthcare due to a lack of masking. Masks make essential spaces accessible.

“The vulnerable may fall by the wayside.”

Disabled people are not expendable, disposable or dispensable.
We are not acceptable casualties.

[Plague Poems @PlaguePoems]

I heard a doctor say
that though in this wave
“It's not going to be
this tsunami of cases”
that nevertheless “you'll find
the vulnerable will
will fall by the wayside,“
but he’s wrong
it’s not that “the vulnerable will
fall by the wayside”
it’s that they
are being dropped there.

[Briana Mills, LMFT ♿️🏳️‍🌈🍉 @theBrianaMills]

When Dr. Fauci talks about how the vulnerable will end up falling to the wayside in terms of COVID, speaking of it as a matter of fact, this is why depression in disabled people is so high. When a government entity in charge of public health is ableist, who do we turn to?

[Tinu Abayomi-Paul aka Empress of Twerk. NO DMs @Tinu]

I am “the vulnerable” AND I AM NOT FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE OF SHIT.

I see you’re living in a tent with your partner and your dog. Would you like to surrender your dog and sleep alone on a mat in a gymnasium? We’ll throw out all your belongings for free

Repeat after me: masks are—and always have been—protections, not restrictions
