Being Seen is available everywhere books are sold, in paper, ebook and audio format! It also just won the Washington State Book Award for memoir!

Now, go get the groceries.

I get asked when media gets it right frequently - here’s a rare example.

[Elsa Sjunneson, an Actual Bat @snarkbat]

I am rewatching “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and it’s very interesting to see Deaf Rep done well in a 90s film. I don’t know BSL, but what I appreciate about it is that the non-Deaf woman in the movie takes the initiative & learns the language in order to pursue a hot Deafie

reminder that if ur being abandoned to slowly die by the medical establishment by an evergrowing illness with no social support bc the whole world acts like it's all fine it's actually really rational to get a bit hysterical about it once in a while

Ok so I stopped tweeting in 2024 it looks like. Which makes sense because that’s also when I was pregnant and the hormones ate my memory.

Anyway I’m back now. I sold and wrote another book and also had a baby.

@XetraSherpa Hello! I finally figured out how to log back in 😂

Probably just not a great time to bring this up again but I really hate how normalized the r-word has become. Again. Even among supposedly “progressive” people.

Just a reminder to the people still here:

Kamala had a plan to lower food costs, cut student debt, 25k help with buying a first home, 6K for a new baby, 3K a year to help with children, a plan to make housing more available by blocking private equity from buying homes, and

@mizzoumalek23 I’d be super curious to see a map like this looking at disabled voters

[Elsa Sjunneson, an Actual Bat @snarkbat]

This is why it is so important to actually vote

[Autumn 🍁🍉✨ @mizzoumalek23]

Seeing as the 2024 election is over, here’s a thread of what the electoral map would’ve looked like had only X demographic voted:

For example, here is the electoral map had turnout been 100%

@DoriPhillips5 @BlackKnight10k Yes absolutely - I cook them in duck fat

@BlackKnight10k I have a delicious matzoh ball soup that I make with the carcass of the Shabbos chicken. It’s delicious.

BREAKING: New Yorkers just passed a state Equal Rights Amendment, which enshrines abortion rights in the State Constitution and prohibits discrimination based on a person’s ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex and gender identity, and includes pregnancy status.

I am honored that Washingtonians have chosen me to fight for them. To the thousands of supporters and volunteers who helped make this victory possible — thank you. 

We won by building a massive grassroots coalition, including more than 110,000 individual contributions. We relentlessly traveled across the state to build support and listen to the hopes and concerns of Washingtonians. Those conversations will guide me as your Governor.

Thank you to Congressman Dave Reichert for running a hard-fought campaign and his many years of public service. I wish him the very best in the next chapter of his life.

To my wife Colleen — you have been there every step of the way through this journey. Literally!  You went doorbelling with me the very first day that I knocked on doors as a candidate for the County Council, and we have walked this path together ever since that initial “doorbelling date."  Thank you.

To Jack and Katie, our teenage twins, I want you to know that while my job is changing, some things will definitely stay the same. Katie — you will still see me in the bleachers cheering for you and your teammates at all of your fastpitch softball tournaments. Jack — next summer we have quite a few peaks on your bucket list to climb. I’m excited to get back on the trails with you.  

In the coming weeks, I will make announcements about the team I am building to help lead Washington into 2025 and beyond. Together, with your support, we will make progress on the most critical issues facing our state, from public safety to housing affordability, from economic development to the ferry system. I am looking forward to this opportunity and challenge.

@lifeasart Buying my books helps me buy myself chocolat, so thank you!

For those of us doing election night sober:

Salute us. And give us hugs. And chocolate.
