Jen is in urgent need to meet their fundraising goals to get the housing and medical care needed to survive the genocide of Turtle Island that has never ended.

Especially if you're white, join me in opening our purses to give to Jen today. I'd love to see if anyone will match my donation of 5 USD:

You need to become antiwar and antimilitary right now if you're not already.

The largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases is the military. Specifically the US military.

Hi, disabled US Americans and disability allies. Do you like being paid fairly for a job? Do you think everyone should be treated equitably at work regardless of your disability status? Do big companies like Goodwill who prey on disabled people kind of disturb you but you don't know what to do?

I have a time sensitive request. We have a chance to get the DOL to end submimimum wage, an archaic loophole in US labor law that lets companies pay wages below the federal minimum wage to employees with disabilities (most frequently people with intellectual and developmental disabilities but this can happen to anyone with a significant disability that impacts your ability to work without accommodations). We desperately need more comments in support of this.

Unfortunately there's a small but focused group of parents of people with disabilities who behave much like the small groups who get massive numbers of book bans approved each year. Right now it's like 2:1 comments against ending 14c vs comments in support of ending this horrible program.

I'm joining other disability advocates to ask people to write a comment to help combat this dynamic even if it's "I believe people with disabilities should be paid minimum wage and 14c certificates should be phased out". Please take 5 mins and write a comment.

So many people believe in the concepts around ending 14c but these parents are relentless in their efforts to continue these ableist policies that demean and humiliate workers with disabilities, not to mention continue to trap us in cycles of poverty and institutionalization.

Please write your thoughts on ending subminimum wage in a comment either through the endsubminimumwage.org site by Friday at 12pm ET or directly on the record through the federal register by Friday at 11:59pm ET.

Livestream on March 25 from 2-3:30pm ET: Directly via Youtube here - ASL and captions included

Dear Disabled Comrades and our Allies,

Many of you have heard about Alice Wong or have heard about her work. (One of the most impactful being Crips for eSims for Gaza which is still continuing its work today. Or you may have heard of one of her books, like Disability Visibility.)

In November 2025, Alice died after living a fulfilling life that she was told she could never have, but I wish she was still here with us.

Alice was in short, a disabled fucking badass, and I wanted to share the info for her celebration of life being hosted on Wednesday, March 25.

See all the info about her celebration of life tomorrow including how to register for a Zoom reception immediately following here. No registration required to view the livestream, just the reception after. This link also has info about ways you can celebrate her legacy privately or with your community.

Any reason Tumblr has completely annihilated these screenshots about Tara Knight... surely Tumblr's management and the FBI couldn't be on the same side......
