Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life.
If more people would accept that and work with us, we would all be better off.
A protest guide from #MEAction for folks with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and other chronic illnesses that cause limited energy:

"We hope this guide can help activism become more intersectional and enable those attending events to do so as safely as possible."

If you're on here and hearing your friends say they're going to #BlueSky 'cause they're “getting better reach” — remind them what always happens next.
They lure people in with engagement, then shadowban, censor, and sanitize once the politics get too real — especially when it comes to #Palestine.
Investing time and energy into these corporate-lite platforms is a trap. We’ve seen it over and over: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok — now BlueSky. It’s the same playbook with new branding.
Mastodon isn’t perfect, but at least it's not selling you out the second you speak truth.
Tell your people: don’t chase numbers. Chase liberation.
#FreePalestine. Always. 🖤❤️💚✊🏽
"I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me."
“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord ... You weren't here illegally, were you?"
This #Pride month, I don't want cishet people to change their profile to pride themed, or post about how they want queer people to feel safe around them.
I want them to be unbearable to people espousing casual prejudice around them. To call out sexist, homophobic, racist, transphobic comments, especially when framed as a "joke". To say this is unacceptable to their faces.
Keeping the peace is a privilege for those unharmed by the status quo. Raise hell instead.
