When my Aunt Joyce died very early in the pandemic, I did not have space to properly grieve. Nearly three years later, I'm grateful to @LateralJournal and co-editors Theodora Danylevich and Alyson Patsavas for giving this piece--these memories--a home.

What Alice Wong did for disabled storytelling was unmatched. She tapped into social media and alternate forms of narrative in ways that enabled marginalized community members to connect and reframed the lived experience of disability for the mainstream. I’m so grateful for her ♥️

@magusoperator And the fact we lost Patty Berne this year, who (along with Sins Invalid) developed these principles 😭. Too many amazing activists lost this year.

Trash news about Teen Vogue. Some of the best political coverage in the US now gone.

Mariam, killed by Israeli strike today, had the chance to leave Gaza to be with her son but she chose to stay to report and to look after her parents, her friends told us. She gave a kidney to her father. Her mother, unable to get proper treatment, died from cancer 4 months ago

@GovernorShapiro @PAStatePolice More cops do not make us safer. They just put more Black people and people of color at risk.

“Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life,” wrote five former NWS directors from both Democratic and Republican administrations in an open letter on May 2nd.

In Houston, 44% of NWS positions are vacant.

@LazarusLong13 If Covid implications are anything like polio, the exercise post infection could exacerbate damage to the body. Post polio symptoms (such as tremors) are correlated with excessive exercise doctors prescribed to “recover.”

[Dr. Jessie Male 🍉 @ProfJMale]

I am ENRAGED. This administration and these influencers will be the death of us all, these sensationalist liars. Get a spinal tap at five when you cant move below your chin and you TELL ME polio is a lie. Watch your child breathe in an iron lung. Then tell me, I dare you.

[Dr. Jessie Male 🍉 @ProfJMale]

The myth of polio? Sir, my mother and aunt contracted polio at 5 & 7. Their parents watched behind glass while doctors tried to will their bodies to be mobile again. They experienced nerve damage and paralysis. My aunt is dead due to post-polio and my mother is in constant pain.

Joe Rogan Guest Completely Shatters the Vaccine Narrative

Everything you’ve been told is a lie—especially when it comes to polio.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions, reveals what really made all those polio cases disappear after the vaccine was introduced.

This is very very bad and collective action amongst faculty and unions must be taking place to care for students.

[John Hudson @John_Hudson]

New: Rubio confirmed he revoked the visa of the Tufts student and said he likely has revoked the visas of hundreds more. “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." The total # of revoked visas “might be more than 300 at this point"

Quite the read while on a bus past CMU.

NEW: @CarnegieMellon President Farnam Jahanian said it was one of six universities to receive a letter from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

Students who call out genocide are not welcome on campus, disabled students are not welcome on campus, union leaders are not welcome on campus...but the FBI and NYPD? THEY are VERY welcome on campus.

Meanwhile this is from an email we received from President Laura Rosenbury of @BarnardCollege two days ago. Masked kidnappers can disappear our friends and the university has nothing to say, while students are banned from masking.
