Listen, I'm tired of being diplomatic on social media about this. This guy doesn't care how many disabled people are kicked off government insurance. JD Vance said the Medicaid cuts are "immaterial." Elon called us parasites. Let's stop pretending this administration doesn't hate.
Russ Vought: "There's like, no downside to this bill. This is not one where you have to say pros and cons. It's all good."

What an amazing honor. Such a great article covering the important topic of bringing adaptive gaming to libraries. Couldn't be more proud of @librarydove for knocking this program and talk out of the park. Here's to continuing to prove gaming is for everyone. #alaac25.
Stuck in the hospital as a child, videogames were often Steve Spohn’s only way to connect. He talked with Vicki Karlovsky, Deerfield Public Library's inclusion coordinator, during “Adaptive Arcade at the Library: Video Games are for Everyone." #ALAAC25

Happening tomorrow in Philadelphia! If you are attending #ALAAC25 make sure to stop by our session:
Libraries are a lifeline. In a time when they are often under attack, we must do our part to support these vital institutions. I'm thrilled to announce I will be presenting with Vicki at #ALAAC25, showcasing the importance of gaming with a disability at the largest library

18 months. That's how long I've been trapped in the same room with the same walls surrounding my hospital bed. With my main caretaker taking a nasty fall, and the current state of nursing making it easier to find a unicorn, literally getting out of bed became a nearly impossible

I know a ton of people who can barely afford to treat themselves to a fine dining experience at Taco Bell, let alone double the price of every time they practice retail self-care. Living paycheck to paycheck is rough. Great idea, tho, if you have money.
