I work with disabled college students and strive to ensure higher education is accessible. I am disabled and enjoy reading, knitting, and couch potato-ing.
An oversimplification on my part, but could the AMA or DSM publishers or whoever's in charge of medical terminology standards STOP calling an ectopic pregnancy a "pregnancy"?
Yes, a sperm has gotten into an egg and fertilized it but without implantation there is ZERO chance of an actual baby popping out. There is ONLY the health of the adult to consider here.

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person
We all have value just for being ourselves
It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution
Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics
Disabled people aren’t expendable!

Once again asking people to stop imagining that police are essential to maintaining peace or safety in our #transportation system. They are not going to side with you if a driver chooses to assault you with their vehicle. They probably won't even find your car if it gets stolen. They definitely don't prevent crime.
Hey all, I put up a new Patreon post: VISITING ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA.
It's reviews of two books by cuneiform scholar Irving Finkel.
@spacecitydad shared the image below detailing some massacres of Black People:
There were more.

Wildfire smoke is blanketing most of Canada and some of the United States.
Particulate matter & VOCs are high everywhere, it’s virtually inescapable.
Disabled people often have a harder time withstanding severe weather events. Even with mitigations, wildfires are punishing to your health.
“What happens to those who can’t run? Who can’t drive or who have no mobility? Those dependent on others for survival or who have complex medical needs and equipment? Even if they could run from their home, they can’t leave that life sustaining equipment behind. How are we protecting them?“

"I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad."

Wanna call out all the rainbow washing that is going to happen this month?
A meme from six years ago, still golden.
How nasty and petty can they get?
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon."
"Military.com reviewed a memorandum from the Office of the Secretary of the Navy -- the official who holds the power to name Navy ships -- that showed the sea service had come up with rollout plans for the renaming of the oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk.
"A defense official confirmed that the Navy was making preparations to strip the ship of its name but noted that Navy Secretary John Phelan was ordered to do so by Hegseth. The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional."
The absolute audacity of the wealthy elite (which includes members of Congress) to advocate for cutting social services that WE, not they, pay for.
They don't pay taxes like the rest of us do. WE pay the taxes that fund Medicare, Medicaid, social security, and food stamps.
Like walking up to someone who just bought a sandwich they are going to eat and slapping it out of their hands onto the floor.
The fucking nerve. The fucking audacity.
A "raid" or "sweep" or "cleanup" here probably still going on in #Portland where a citizen was videoing and was pepper sprayed or how about how I was just made to move in the 14th or the other THOUSANDS of incidents that no one but the victims of loosing constitutional rights that no one ever hears about or no one ever talks about.https://beamship.mpaq.org/@bob/114541200532670451
How about a US Military veteran that dies of exposure because someone in "authority" says they can't have a sleeping bag and tent to stay warm... No, THAT is the war I'm talking about.
We "law abiding citizens" get arrested every day. #Portland just had another"clean up" today, displacing a lot of citizens just for being #homeless because its #Illegal2BHomeless in America.

I have met white women like this who would rather gaslight you than accept racism exists...
It's a shame that women like this aren't willing to fully respect our brothers bc whatever our brothers choices, they deserve respect.
