We don’t talk enough about how many disabled people have to fawn over those who take care of them in order to get their basic needs met. If the caregiver isn’t in a good mood, they have to please them before asking for things so they don’t get yelled at or worse. It’s exhausting.

trans disabled math is trying to balance how often you ask for disability accommodations with how many times you ask to be gendered correctly. bc if you go "too far" with either, both will be mocked + ignored for you + all other trans disabled people in that space, forever.

Isaura @isaurarenwrites consistently goes above & beyond to publicize instances of harassment, risking their health and safety in doing so. They've really transformed (inaugurated) our convos about harassment + mags, and I'm amazed –– & infuriated at the need for –– their work.

Disappointed that lit mags are taking advantage of people in this way. Out work is so precious, and my heart goes out to all the authors who are having to withdraw and wrangle work from presses that have mishandled and mistreated it.

@chipilonita the idea that some trans people are universally legible as 'binary' implies that cis people respect our collective right to self-determination...like ppl who say this have to willfully, constantly ignore the persistent "they"ing of transfems who use she/her exclusively

@communoah I agree w you but also think that the sentiment of “you claim to be radical/counterculture but can’t handle the weird looks you get in a kn95” is still veeeeeery applicable to a ton of people

@storiedcassette in institutional settings (and in general but esp institutional): if someone misgenders/deadnames a client, stop the conversation. halt the conversation until they gender said client correctly. don't just mumble "[correct pronoun]" but actually be annoying and disruptive about it

everyone's arguing abt pronouns again and i just. PLEASE give everyone the built-in OPPORTUNITY to say their pronouns / preferred name if it's diff from the roster. there is little more awkward than being the 1 Trans Person to give their they/them pronouns on the 1st day of class

Students sit in a circle in front of their tents around pre-packed food, each with a haggadah. Many wear kuffiyehs around their necks and heads, most are masked. One holds the seder plate above a handmade sign reading "Pesach means solidarity and liberation." #AltTextPalestine

Explaining the seder plate at the Columbia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation.

Lastly, if anyone has leads on paid editorial positions, please be in touch. I'm in a semi-precarious financial position right now and would appreciate leads on new work to supplement my lowered income.

@laurenancona iirc it has roots in 4 chan shit/used as an insult in a similar way to the r word. i know some autistic people reclaim it, but it definitely makes me hesitate when i see someone identify themself as an autist (no judgement to autistic ppl who do, that's just my reaction)

banning books in prisons is a direct continuation of the logics of slavery & the banning of slave literacy. the latest banned books list is particularly horrifying.

If you're learning about prison book access, know that dozens of groups nationwide do amazing work to send free, used books to prisoners. Collectively, prison book programs send approximately 200,000 free books every year (whoa!). Donate $$$! Volunteer!

i'm writing abt this in sff & medical abuse this quarter, but like...children desperately need to be exposed to painful and ~upsetting~ books. do you realize how much worse it is to endure horrible things without the words to describe them?

@literElly i haven't seen enough people attaching mask ban shit to bans on religious head coverings like hijab, either. this is drawing on a long tradition of using demands for transparency + surveillance against multiply marginalized ppl
