A lot of people still express skepticism about whether Russia’s 2016 disinformation campaign could have actually changed voter behavior, and I would just like you to look at our pathetically low vaccination rate if you still don’t think disinformation can affect behavior.

Been 10 yrs since Congress passed my bill to pair 200 vets w/PTSD to service dogs to study its benefits. The study confirms that vets benefit tremendously. Now Congress has passed the PAWS Act! I could not be happier. rollcall.com/2021/08/09/con…

people saying that you need to accept that everyone's going to get covid at some point have never dealt with chronic illness and it shows

Look, let me be frank. My initial covid infection did not require hospitalisation. Ergo it was “mild”. However, I have never recovered. 2 years later & I am nowhere near who I once was. My body & brain have sustained long term damage. THAT is what Living With Covid looks like.

People who aren’t afraid of long covid have NO IDEA how difficult it is to find good care when you have a complex, rare, or poorly understood disease. They expect House when what they’ll get is more like Zoidberg.

KᗩTᗩᗰᗩᑕ 🇺🇸🇳🇿🇨🇦 ✨⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️ Julia DisBABEled™ Irzyk, J.D.♿ I think I've said this to you before, but all my spoonie friends are coming out of the last two years with a new kind of profound distrust of other people.

At least with the mandate in place I could leave if I had to. I could pop into CVS. Once the state dismantles all protections, though, I'm not going to be safe outside anywhere. Because I can't trust that people will continue to protect me. 3/5

The disabled experience during this pandemic is realizing that some of the people closest to u really don’t care if u live or die as long as they are comfortable.

These 'Beach Animals' were created by Theo Jansen as a fusion of art and engineering. The kinetic structures walk on their own and get all their energy from the wind.

If I was president I would put Netflix, Hulu, Prime, HBO, and every other streaming service in a room together and make them collectively decide how loud each volume number is

the promised Cornelia thread for today: my friend Lina and I took Cornelia to try herding sheep. for those who don’t know, corgis are working dogs and most corgis have the instinct to herd!

Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself.

Covid (UC San Francisco) Chronicles, Day 1013 As we enter Covid Year 3, it’s clear we’ll be in our current predicament for the foreseeable future. This means we all need to find our own method to weigh & mitigate risks. Today I’ll describe my “50% Rule” & how it governs my choices. (1/25)

Sara Luterman @DisabilityStor1 The New York Times And also, the reason we don't say "special needs" is because the need is the same for all of us. Access to a building. Access to information. Access to our homes. The flaw is that we often only design environments with one method of accessing them in mind.

From marriage inequality to subminimum wage and administrative burdens that could be full time jobs to an accessible housing crisis – things aren’t great. We dream of independence, but any accommodation, benefit, or care we need comes with strings of control.
