for those of you that follow me here and not elsewhere, I'm going to be around less than I usually am going forward. Nothing bad has happened, and nothing has gotten worse. My many disabilities are just taking a toll and I'm getting really burnt out and I need to cut back

According to @BBCWORLD people "have died" in #Gaza from the attacks carried out by the #IDF but people "have been killed" in #Israel by the attacks of #Hamas.

The protection of civilians is the paramount tenet of human security.

Any operation that targets civilians or is indiscriminate will perpetuate the cycle of violence.

Security cannot be achieved through those means, no matter who is employing them.

This is just mind blowingly weak and cowardly

Disabled people are more than 25% of the population.
Disabled people are not a niche group.
We don’t need disability awareness.
We need ableism awareness and action to combat disability discrimination.

@GeorgeTakei It is what my community once endured in World War II, all because of the actions of others who happened to share our ethnicity. Have we learned nothing?

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. How will this deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I recognize the legitimate grievances of the Palestinian people. But nothing can justify acts of terror & the killing, maiming & abduction of civilians.

I reiterate my call to immediately cease these attacks & release all hostages.

Your position is totally reasonable.
Inaccessibility, even temporary, is exclusion.
Access delayed is access denied.

A wheelchair is not an encumbrance.
It is a catalyst for mobility and opportunity.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Oct. 9, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Iraqi guy i follow on IG who does funny nature videos in broken English just posted a more compassionate and well written statement then like 90% of activists and journalists I’ve seen.

[Justin @PrinceOfPufftop]

Something about these 3 articles in the same year is really funny to me

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Diversity without disabled people is not diversity.
Diversity without disabled people is ableism.
Diversity should not be exclusionary.
