I keep trying to write something but my blood is boiling too fucking hot. Especially given the context. Read Matthew’s Patreon post about this and de la Torre here:

Anybody at @moderation.bsky.app want to try to explain why they suspended @matthewcort.land, ANOTHER of the most prominent people out here fighting for disabled and marginalized people? Like… are y'all planning to suspend/ban literally every disabled legal scholar/policy worker out here, orrrr…?

If you're looking for ME because you're looking for Matthew, well, they got banned. Details here: shouldntneedtobealawyer.com/posts/ralph-...

Marketing advice is always like "just record yourself doing what you're already doing, people want to see you in the process!" and I'm like, the majority of the time I'm horizontally working on my ipad with multiple homemade ice packs strapped to my head and body, it's just really not good content 😅

It’s my birthday today & like every holiday this year, I’m spending it alone in bed. It would mean a lot to me if you would submit a public comment against this barbaric work requirement rule, share this post, & then treat yourself to something sweet &/or savory 🩵

I saw Chagall's The Birthday when I visited MoMA on my first visit to New York when I was 18 & immediately fell hard for it. I got the poster from the MoMA shop & I had it for manyyy years until it got ruined in a move. I still sit & contemplate this piece like once a month. It'll never not linger.

Art question 🎨 What painting, photograph, sculpture, or piece of visual art has stayed with you long after you first saw it? Not necessarily your favorite. The one that lingered.

Finally got to watch Project Hail Mary. Why didn’t anyone tell me it’s [also] a movie about disability justice, access needs, and interdependence?! If people would bring the same energy they give to the relationship between Rocky and Grace to the disabled relationships in their lives, we’d be okay.

Whenever I see this topic, my brain fills up with all the things I need to say about it. Fills up too much, I have too much to say, too much to feel, about it. One day that big glob of thoughts will be processed and organized enough to speak on it. But until then, this is the short of it 👇

Did you know disabled people are far more likely to be the victims of domestic abuse? It’s because we’re trapped. When you can’t perform your own activities of daily living, you endure abuse to survive. Another reason we need better safety nets and social supports.

It happened AGAIN this week, I tried to purchase materials for my business & the transaction was flagged/stopped by AI. No way to approve it, mark a vendor as safe, & the institution has zero autonomy to help. If you’ve turned over your decisions to AI, you don’t offer an actual service anymore!

Told you. "Worse but cheaper" only works until it categorically fucking doesn't. "AI" cannot do these things and the people selling you on the idea that they can cannot be trusted.
