on a slightly more serious note, check in on your disabled, chronically ill, tired, burned out, elderly, neurodivergent, overwhelmed friends and neighbours.
See if anybody needs help getting to the polls.
When daily life is a struggle, these extra (and important!) things can be hard hurdles to get through.

i consume porno not because it gets me 'horny', but simply to support the industry #allyship
Saying you won't vote because there aren't good choices, that's privilege.
Complaining about the system but still being comfortable enough to not do anything about it, that's privilege.
Engage.
Make the best choices you can, then dig in and work for better choices.
We need you.
We need everyone.
We need to ally ourselves to those who know oppression and know that progress requires struggle

"Finally, Black people should welcome co-conspirators to this fight who show up and put themselves on the line, not allies or saviors. John Brown was most certainly a co-conspirator when he raised up with Black and white people and sought to destroy the slave industrial complex."

okay I have found somebody local-ish to help me figure out how to vote.
But I want to share:
One of the ideas we discussed was asking the local candidate to give me a ride which is awesome, but possibly better is asking the incumbent fuckwit to give me a ride. My vote is private afterall. 
So if you were looking for some subversive #disabilityJustice there's that.
Also, pls check in and help your spoonie friends #vote in whatever way they need. #allyship #a11y
Empowering women in tech: The role of male allies at McDonald’s.
I am so fekkin tired of people carefully explaining to me why something is hard for disabled people. We KNOW.
What we need is for you to turn around and say to the people making the decisions (even within your own business or org):
"Oi! This shit is hard for disabled people. Fix it!"
We need your advocacy, not your head pats.
This is today's code-generated texture, right after I read about these endangered words. I don't know what to do about it, so I'll continue creating things.

I'm not a religious person, but I admire their advocacy and tenacity in standing up to vicious trolls. The world needs strong advocates, especially in light of the horrible new USA gov't.

If you are looking for some small simple thing you can do to make the world a better place, you can follow the @imagecaptionspls group and add some description for folks who are brain dead or otherwise struggling with alt text.
It helps both tooter and tootees, that's 2for1 helping!
There's kind of a call and answer with the #alt4me and #alt4you tags - you can lurk there and see how it's done.

When my company's #DEI Director explained the concept & **mentioned** **why** they were sharing their personal pronouns I have had mine out there in my public profile, right now, not here. My pronouns would not put me at risk so it's not brave. I do it more in #allyship than anything else. I also use strong #e2eencryption whenever possible even for nonsensitive information.
It's part allyship, part aircover, part practice of being the person I choose to be.

This is the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Mountain View School Division in Manitoba.
Let's make him famous, shall we?
I guess my kid was right when she thought it was the "Mountain Dew" School Division, after all.

“The Biggest Danger of 2025”
When we look at 2024 through the lenses of racial equity, allyship, and inclusion, many would say America has dropped the ball. I disagree. America was a no-show for the game.

“Hope and Agency: Doing What You Can When You Can”
I read an article recently in which the author posits, “ . . . hope is a longing for a future condition over which you have no agency; it means you are essentially powerless.” I don’t agree with that.

If you needed a reason to wear a mask aside from showing your care and support for disabled people, they are also really good at keeping you face cozy against a wind chill.
