You don’t have to worry about trans women in sports. You do have to worry about trans women in your walls, eating a big crumb as a whole meal off a table they made out of a wooden spool, and taking baths in a bottle cap

Please share and if you have the means to help my wonderful friend survive out of homelessness. Her safety matters so much and any bit at all will help 💗🥺❤️‍🩹

If every one of my 3000+ followers could give Désirée $2, she'd exceed her goal for getting safe housing. I know that everyone won't see this, but if you do see it and have $5 or a bit more to spare, please consider it. gofund.me/cfd069ce3

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

And it’s in almost everything now. Somewhere. If you want to avoid it completely it’s been made extraordinarily inconvenient.

Greenpeace International 🌍@greenpeace.org · yesterday

The environmental cost being churned out by AI data centers is getting absurd. It spells out a worldview where tech capital and extreme power moves matter more than people, nature, and democracy. It’s a system operating completely without a moral compass.

Désirée's info is: V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree gofund. me/ f6b181f3d She's an incredible poet & human, and been suffering the traumatic violence of homelessness & poverty while disabled. Any amount sent her way helps, & all shares help cast that net wider for people with the means to give more!💙🤞❤️‍🩹

SN Désirée Cha@sndesireecha.bsky.social · 12mo ago

homelessness is always an unending siren song of grief and forced movement, where to stay is a fantasy reserved for those with wealth, stability, a reason, a family, a home, belonging for everyone else, our home is our skeleton bones, ground into dust a lived, embodied, dynamic impermanence

No one should be homeless. No one should have to live in their car, be rationing rescue inhalers & disabled. No one should be all alone w/o support. Please share this info for my friend Désirée ! If you can give to her, it would mean the world! ❤️‍🩹🫂🍀 V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree gofund. me/ f6b181f3d

The thing about living in your car is that it does not protect you from the elements like cold and heat. You still need shelter. Indoors. Another space. The thing about living in your car is that a car is not a home. Cars are not meant for living in.

Disabled people don’t survive without community care. So for us to be considered worth surviving, that’s building a world where we all survive by supporting each other.

Chantal James@chantalalive.blacksky.app · 7mo ago

It should click for you how many who ask for mutual aid online are disabled. Disabled people are likely to be in poverty & isolation. Disability makes life under capitalism precarious. That’s why disability justice is intertwined with getting rid of capitalism & why mutual aid is disability justice.

if you were loved once, let it carry you during the hard times

as a disabled chronically ill person & someone forced to shower at gyms and constantly use public restrooms—& with no access to medical care or even current med refills—this is a terrifying calculus i face daily homelessness amplifies harm. when you’re homeless, the margin for error is nonexistent.

It’s apparently “don’t share inspiration porn o’clock”. A disabled person doing something skillfully should not be cause for “shock”. Especially when that person has been doing whatever it is for 40+ years. Objectifying someone for nondisabled feel-good time is demoralizing.

Man, it's really just too bad that there's not, like, some relatively small act of community care people could engage with en masse that could mitigate this while they also--idk?--like, advocated for some sort of higher-level solutions at the same time or something

So @pbs.org has been fluffing AI for a while now and it's no surprise given their donor list (Alphabet, Anthropic, etc etc) But this? For KIDS? It's a disgrace, a disservice, a fundamental betrayal

What is PBS Kids doing telling 3rd graders to use Ai to write a poem???

This is incredibly disappointing. And they aren't even coy about it, Google funded this. I don't care how much they donated they shouldn't get to push this slop onto children.

Not a big fan of the "sick, elderly and/or disabled people don't count" discourse that appears to follow public health disasters these days.

In my current manuscript, I argue that the increase of instances where animal welfare (couched in the language of animal rights, preserving biodiversity, ecological conservation, etc.) are valued over human rights is a sign of ecofascism's ascendancy. This is just one example of many.

The court’s action was in response to a petition by an animal rights group concerned about the welfare of the crocodiles. It was not based on concern for the welfare of Palestinian prisoners. (Yes, really.)

Begging you, reporters everywhere: stop using this framing. Anyone anywhere at any time can have an underlying condition. That has only become more true as you decided to join the war on COVID on the side of COVID. People with fallible bodies—all of us—deserve to not shit themselves to death.
