You’ve Got Ishmael (they/them)

If you stopped, it’s time to start again. As a safety measure, as a show of solidarity, as a statement. We don’t have to be part of this endless cycle of infection. We have a very simple step we can take. We just have to do it.

Masking is the single most effective thing you can do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. It’s also the best way to show you are a safe person for disabled people: surprise, we don’t trust that you’re really on our side if you display on your literal face that you don’t care about our lives.

Y’all masking? Every time. I have long COVID and it devastated me. I was disabled before, but nothing prepared me for the way long COVID and the resulting diseases stole everything from me. I spend what little energy I have trying to keep people from getting it. And yet, they fight prevention.

All that said: we in the disability community REALLY don’t want people to get it, and we really don’t need our own disabilities made worse by it. Folks need to look at this with clear eyes: is this something they really wanna risk for a Taylor Swift concert or a date? A trip to the grocery store?

Thousands of Black children with sickle cell disease struggle to access disability paymentswww.cbsnews.com New data show how one federal safety net program has been out of reach for thousands of children who need it most.

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding. So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

"Approximately 1 in 365 African American children are born with sickle cell, according to the CDC.. Tens of thousands of lower-income families with children suffering from sickle cell disease have applied for SSI. But roughly 76% of those applicants had their requests denied between 2015 and 2020."

Given the average American’s lifespan in 1789, any true constitutional originalist should refuse a lifetime appointment past their 40th birthday.

Had this happened to me during a debate? 1. I’d have called out the moderators for letting it stand. 2. I’d have said to my opponent: I’m happy that you’ve never lost a child, sad that you have no compassion, and wouldn’t even wish this on scum like you. 3. I’d have walked off the debate stage.

let me make this clear: not voting is a vote for trump. voting for a third party is also a vote for trump. you might think voting for biden is safe but no sorry those votes go to trump too. votes for trump himself however get stored in an unused walk in freezer at mar a lago and count toward 2028.

Lol C’mon. Exxon PLEDGED to their shareholders that they would DOUBLE fossil fuel use in the next 10 years. Fuel USE. That means likely quadrupling oil OUTPUT. The fact we didn’t already hit peak emissions is insane. ITS STILL GOING UP. “Global Race” is going great, Chris. Reallllly great

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

Look, many things were terrible about the 1990s. But the ubiquity of the spinach-artichoke quesadilla is not on the list.

Anybody responding to this *as if I did not explicitly say that there is culpability* will be blocked. I am not here to do your remedial work for you. Palmer is not the first woman to act as a procurer for an abuser and she won't be the last. It is never done from a place of health and strength.

Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Statistically speaking there are many of you here on the sky app. I know you're reading. I know you're not commenting. And while I don't know your specific story, I want to reach through the screen & say with all sincerity: I believe you. And it's not your fault.

And the whole thing was Drake asked for this. And he managed to invalidate all of Drake's disses in one video. I loved Whitney and the kids dancing and even the end part directed by Dave Free and Kendrick
