War is a mass disabling event and any approach to disability justice should demand an end to war and a free Palestine, full stop.

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.

10 years ago today, the Supreme Court’s decision in Hobby Lobby laid the groundwork to redefine certain forms of birth control as abortion. Emergency contraception—aka Plan B and IUDs—are in conservatives’ crosshairs and will be attacked if Trump wins
How Hobby Lobby Could Be Trump’s Reproductive Rights Wrecking Ballnewrepublic.com The 2014 Supreme Court ruling is even more consequential as we stare down the possibility of Trump’s reelection—and a revival of the Comstock Act.

Okay…uh-huh…law enforcement and private orgs can ask for temporary removal of masks…increased penalties for protesters wearing masks…sounds like original bill and—OH COME ON
Stupid & dangerous: North Carolina's restrictions on public mask-wearing are now law after key revisions. The state's contentious restrictions on public mask-wearing are now law after Senate Republicans voted to override the Democratic governor's veto abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...

Remember, a large portion of silent films are lost, not due to decay or fires, but because they were intentionally junked by their studios. Among the worst was Paramount, aka CBS/Paramount. People come and go. Corporate culture is forever.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

everyone please repost my extremely adoptable foster dog and tell me how huge her ears are
A reminder that Jubilee was never claimed, so if you're around north Georgia and looking to adopt a bright, trainable, and loyal small dog, consider her! She's dog/cat friendly and also does well with kids. Please share this, you never know who follows you who might be looking for a pittie like her.
