if you are disabled, live in the united states, and are over the age of 18, please consider taking the national survey on health and disability!

if you're wondering if you count, the nshd asks "do you have a physical, mental, emotional, or health condition?" and if you say yes, they would like to hear from you about your disability/condition and your healthcare. it should take about 20-30 minutes.

the nshd is run by a disability-led team from kansas university. it's one of less than five national surveys in this country that mentions AAC, and is one of the few surveys that challenges the idea that the "ACS 5" questions on disability are good enough.

the ACS 5 boil disability down into difficulty with hearing, vision, mobility, concentrating and remembering, and independent living, which leaves out a whole lot of people and disabilities. the nshd is one of the most important sources of information for understanding how we can ask questions about disability better.

they are especially hoping for more responses from men, people of color, and people with psychiatric/psychiatrized disabilities. please consider helping spread the word (they have a list of shareables here).

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

When I like male character:

had a dream that I met a wizard and we fell in love and became unhealthily attached to each other so we decided to meld into one single creature together but the process was horrifically slow and painful and most of the dream was us lying in bed holding hands while lesions opened up in our skin and seeped out blue and green fluid and the wizard said "this is going to take a very very long time" and I said "that's ok"

As James Somerton seemingly tries to reenter the public space, a note from an organizer who lives in his city.

This person has spent years thoroughly convincing himself of his advocacy and work for the queer community. I'm an incredibly active queer organizer in Halifax, and let me tell you I had never ever heard of this guy before the hbomb video, let alone knew he lived in Halifax. That's how little impact he has in his own community. More than one queer organizer approached me after the hbomb video asking what I knew about him, huge swaths of the Halifax queer organizing scene didn't know who he was or that he lived here.

If you want to judge him based on the value he brought to his own community alone, he's brought none. Not once in the 5 years that I've lived here, nor the 4 years I've been active in the queer organizing space, have I even heard his name, let alone see him do anything for queer organizing in Halifax, and neither have others who are just as active.

Idk if this brings any insight for anyone, but if you're spending all of your time stealing work from queer people while doing nothing of value for the people around you... yikes....

hello everyone!! this is a burner account to share this:

as photomatt deletes everything, me and a few others are trying our best to compile screenshots to spread the word of the situation. most of the screenshots in the dropbox feature a comment by one of our helpers containing context. if you have any screenshots you'd like to add, please dm me. there is a high chance this account will get banned, so please save this dropbox and the screenshots included and continue to spread the word.

thank you!!

edit: thank you to all the people sharing and reblogging this! please note that this dropbox is being constantly updated (as i type this, files are being processed) so be sure to check in frequently for updates.

edit 2: as this gets more popular, i'm getting more and more worried about the probability of getting banned. to send me screenshots, please feel free to add me on discord (@mit_skies). i'll try to keep everyone updated on there + it'll be easier for me to see and document screenshots.

it has come to my attention that Aaron Bushnell had recently created a will before self-immolating in which he left his life savings to the PCRF. instead of speculating on his personal life i suggest we all take a page from his book and donate to the PCRF as well. we must not forget that his sacrifice was for Palestine. we can't forget about Palestine when we discuss him.
