'Currently, it costs my family $840 per day every day for the care I need so that I can remain in the community.'

@sfdirewolf.bsky.social has done so much for the disability community, particularly around uplifting and supporting disability media and culture. She deserves better than crowdfunding.

I wonder if you can help. I'm recently disabled and after spending some time sorting my real life out, I'm very new to *thinking* about disability. This book seems smart and important but I might need something more "entry level" first. Any recommendations on a place to start?

New from CDC's flu division, testing H5N1 isolated from that human case in Texas on ferrets:

- 3 of 3 infected after direct contact
- only 1 of 3 infected in shared air
- all 6 of 6 ferrets died after infection

This is an interesting article, and the quote is spot-on; I often found myself biting my tongue in the early years of the pandemic when I witnessed conversations bemoaning zoom or whatever while I was trying to communicate safety precautions to an elderly Brazilian instacart shopper.

there it is.

"The congestion tax is not only a burden on police officers and other essential commuters — it’s bad for public safety,” said Patrick Hendry, president of the city’s police union, in the first of the two releases. nysfocus.com/2024/06/07/h...

Western screech-owl 🪶 📷Mill Creek Rd I first found this owl a few weeks ago, and tried to show it to a passer-by; the owl then ducked into its hole before I could get a pic. Which was a shame because at that time, the fuckin' leaf and stick in this photo were NOT THERE.

2 years ago on this day I had a series of medical crises that changed my life forever.

It costs $840/day for additional care I need. It is unsustainable. This is structural ableism.

I am crowdfunding again so I can live in the community.

As this review explains, a common myth is that ‘if it is short range, it cannot be airborne.’ In reality, "delivery of the infectious agent can occur over any distance, but it is more likely to occur at close range because aerosols are more concentrated nearer the source."

COVID is airborne, but that doesn't mean distance doesn't matter. Misunderstanding this led people to wrongly think you can't catch COVID outdoors, or you don't ever need masks if you have clean indoor air. If you are in close contact for long periods, you can still be at risk.

Many of us heard that COVID moves like cigarette smoke. That's a great analogy. And like smoke, while it's true that you can still be affected at longer distances, especially if you are in rooms with poor ventilation, it's going to be much worse the closer you are to the source.

This paragraph is amazing. Like an arrow that hit me just when I needed to feel it, if that analogy makes any sense. It’s going to be rattling in my head for a long time. Thank you 🙏 for writing this.

i can’t bring myself to read this yet. i can’t always speak anymore. it’s been traumatic. the difference in care when i can’t self advocate is awful and painful. you’re such a great writer, i know you’ll capture the experience in a way that will make me selfishly sad. i am still mourning my voice.
