After just one day of organizing, about 90% of our union walked out today in protest of management's devastating layoffs proposal and multiple unfair labor practices.
We are so thankful for the solidarity shown to us during this historic work stoppage. ✊

I always wonder -- what "urgent action" will be needed, and if you live in a basement apartment, what are you supposed to do? Is the assumption that everybody has another place to stay until Saturday?

We need to stop depicting mobility aids as a sign/symbol of inability to be or do something. My mobility aids aren't a sign I'm incapable of doing a job or living a full life. They give me the opportunity to do my job, to live a full life.

For years, researchers say it was difficult to study health inequities that people with disabilities experience, because the way this population was classified by the NIH limited access to funding.
Now, that's changed:

Fahrenheit 451 was never my favorite Bradbury/dystopian fiction because it felt a little too blunt, too far-fetched in its metaphor— the state deploying high-tech 'firemen' to burn books to maintain its censorship regime? A bit on the nose.
Currently reevaluating that assessment
Missouri Republicans at a literal book burning. They think flamethrowers should be legal but history books should be destroyed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video show two Republican state senators incinerating a pile of empty boxes they said symbolized "woke liberal agenda" "leftist policies"
One of the senators (William Eigel) also stated that he will burn woke books too - "on the front lawn of the governor's mansion"

White vegans use the exact same tactics that white evangelicals use to determine the value of the life of others and enact racism with the cover of superiority.

RIP CJ. One of the best in the field. You taught me so much, but mostly, to take care of the newbies. See ya on the next one. nypost.com/2023/09/18/vetera…

It's time to finish the contract, @drpatrick
Your family is committed to the L.A. Times.
So is mine.
And my family's growing.
@drpatrick says his family is committed to the L.A. Times for the next 100 years.
A new contract would help reinforce that commitment to our future — one that we and our families are proud to be part of.

These videos about being a LAT parent were shot when I got back from mat leave. I was so busy juggling new roles that I couldn’t chime in. I will here: Our new contract isn’t about me. It’s about my kid + my ability to provide for her amid inflation + the rising cost of living ✊🏽

“Moms of sick, disabled,or neurodivergent kids all have increased stress levels that make them more prone to mom rage,” Dubin observes." Yea, no. I was a sick &♿️ kid. Now I'm a sick & ♿️mom. "Mom Rage" is not a stress response to ♿️, it's an expression of hatred, shame & disgust

So I was in a restaurant when some random stranger came up to me, put her hand on my wheelchair and then said “go on then, tell me why you’re in the wheelchair.”
Like why oh why would you expect me to tell someone my PRIVATE medical history because I’m in a wheelchair? (1/2)
when people give me shit about masking — a not infrequent occurrence — I tell them I've got little kids and am a walking reservoir for hand foot and mouth
