The star of the Olympics collapsing with covid on live TV in front of a global audience after they told us covid was over (and if it wasn't over it was mild) really does put a ribbon on the last few years

correction, they only passed the first vote and it needs another before it’s actually official. i implore you to speak out against it!! safe to say this bill is dangerous to civilians’, esp black, lives! wusa9.com/article/news/local…

Why is it
that the people
everyone says
are so kind and so caring
have smiles
that hide knives
behind their teeth
And the people
everyone says
are rotten with anger
are the only ones willing
to stop you
from being eaten?
Tuttleturtle (@[email protected]) retweeted
My friend
even if I was certain
that we are doomed
tomorrow
I would still try
to take care of you
today.

I'm seeing tweets from people saying that bc Facebook is blocking news they're posting screenshots of articles about emergency evacuations, etc.
It is more vital than ever to include alt text. You're posting those bc you know info is essential so make it accessible to everyone.

Our hearts are broken here--we will miss Jon's @jmhenner brilliance. Here's a beautiful quote and photo he shared for the #deafscientist series:
"How you language is beautiful. Don’t let anyone tell you your languaging is wrong. Your languaging is the story of your life."
ALT A person with dark hair pulled back in a bandana and a tattooed arm, sitting on a couch with a young child on their lap. The child is looking at a laptop.

Many of you know that @jmhenner (Jon Henner) has been giving the finger to cancer for the last 6 years. I'm heartbroken to tell you that Jon left this mortal coil Monday, August 14th at 7:16am.
Details about where to send condolences will be posted in the next couple of days.

I published a blog post about Autistics(.)Org to commemorate what should have been Mel Baggs's 43rd birthday. Happy birthday, Mel. You should still be with us. tumblr.com/autisticarchive/7…

You can affirm disabled life without excusing imperial violence. You cannot describe imperial violence without showing debilitated lives. 2/2
Tuttleturtle (@[email protected]) retweeted
White disabled people raised in the pride movement do not get to be the only narrative of disability. Yes, actually, imperialist war and capitalist abuse that poisons the earth in such a way that it causes human suffering is bad, even if those lives are still worth living. 1/2

I don’t want success to be measured by disability “not being noticed.”
I need to see that things will be okay if my disabled child continues to be very much disabled. /4

What draws me in now is, “and the diagnosis was correct. 25 years later, still nonspeaking. Not ‘independent.’
And they are happy. And so are we.’” /3

On a follow up to my tweet about viral illness prevention, anyone else with trigeminal/occipital neuralgia have any tips for masking? That’s the thing that does make masking a little harder for me sometimes and prevents me from wearing an over the head N95 (I used earloop KN95s) – at Orchard Park, NY

But there's a huge diversity in linguistic expression and fear of difference leads to discrimination. We should be more concerned with whether or not information is correct than whether it "feels" genuine. The real problem with LLM output is misinformation. 4/
