This is sad bc Maya Angelou was raped at age 7. The trauma caused her disability selective mutism. She didn’t speak for nearly 5 years. I never understood why victims of sexual violence show rapists’ empathy. Then I read Maya Angelou felt guilty when her rapist was murdered.

There are a lot of hidden Covid consequences our corporate overlords did not consider because they keep insisting Covid is benign & we can successfully coexist with it. Pour one out for the alcohol industry.

I cannot stress enough what you're signing onto by staying on this site after tomorrow. This is just one piece of the new Terms of Service. You've agreed to let Musk SUE YOU FOR MONEY for violating the terms of service no one reads.

F— you. My genetic heart condition, which led to a heart and kidney transplant, would not vanish by eating more protein. You all have no education or background in medicine or science, but you make gross generalizations that different diets cure diseases. It’s ableist.

Btw the entire city of Asheville in North Carolina still doesn’t have tap water, seven weeks after the recent hurricane.

Reminder: RFK Jr caused a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly children. RFK Jr and his non-profit visited Samoa to lobby the government and spread misinformation that reduced measles vaccination rates. He may now lead the top US health agency.

“Both campaigns seemed to view discussing Covid itself as a ‘toxic’ political issue… Disabled & immunocompromised people—who constitute a quarter of the population—feel betrayed by an administration unwilling to protect them.” newrepublic.com/article/188180…

Disabled people and their families live in poverty at twice the rate of nondisabled people. How do you expect disabled people or parents with disabled kids to simply move to a blue state? This is deeply harmful advice. Just leaving poor folks behind?

The WHO says COVID is still a pandemic The CDC has never once said it’s safe for vulnerable ppl to contract COVID The “science” says COVID damages the heart, the brain, and immune system The idea Covid is safe to continually, repeatedly contract came from politicians. Only,

I believe we can make it through whatever is ahead, but we can’t do it without everyone from every movement acting in solidarity with disabled people. Make your spaces accessible, wear a mask, help keep us safe. Nobody’s free until we’re all free.

There’s still a genocide happening in Palestine. There’s still a genocide happening in Sudan. There’s still a genocide happening in Congo.

Bird flu begins its human spread, as health officials scramble to safeguard people and livestock With thx to ⁦@cbarbermd⁩ for covering this fortune.com/well/2024/11/0…

Toxicologist here! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that - no matter your age, size, or health status - you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride

This isn’t sincere but manipulative. Under no circumstances do you out a person’s mental health struggles, even if you’re trying to protect them from scrutiny. Do you know how many moms get their kids taken away or lose custody due to public accusations of mental illness?

Yall see this ??? A politician talking about overcrowded ERs and a healthcare crisis while WEARING A MASK?? Contributing to community care instead of contributing to the crisis? Not putting her own cognitive dissonance and comfort before the reality of the situation?

From today disabled workers effectively "stop" earning for the rest of the year because of the pay gap between us and non-disabled workers. That gap sits at 17.2%, with non-disabled employees making about £2.35 more per hour on average. #DisabilityPayGapDay #FairDues

Community is going to be critical moving forward. We @DisSouthRising / @DisabledSouth updated our Atlanta election billboards with this message: Community care includes wearing a mask. Love disabled people.

Today is the neurology appointment I’ve been waiting for since Covid ate my brain in early 2020. It has taken doctors almost 5 years to acknowledge my neurological complications. I’ve been hearing these last few Covid waves have led to a dramatic increase in complications, & wait…

BECAUSE YALL DECIDED TO TRY TO IGNORE YOUR WAY OUT OF AN ONGOING AIRBORNE PANDEMIC I say it with love. Mask back up. Please. We are being reinfected at astronomically unsustainable rates, it damages your immune system, your brain, your heart, and can leave you with Long COVID

By the way. People have been sounding the alarm on this: DeJoy, the postmaster is a Trump donor who was aiding Trump in the count LAST ELECTION. Biden never worked to replace him.
