Your nonbinary friends and family deserve complete love and affirmation of who they are. If your politics don’t allow you to challenge the status quo, your politics are wrong. If your politics prevent you from seeing the beauty out of the binary, your politics are primitive and harmful.

Finishing up By the Fire We Carry by @rebeccanagle.bsky.social via audiobook & know this will be a book I recommend for years and years. Should be a requirement to read for every non-native person in the US, but especially Oklahoma.

Here are some nice mushrooms
A family of splitgill mushrooms grow aligned on the edge of an upturned branch in a bare winter forest. They look like seashells on wet stone

I put together a little guide for Mask Bloc OKC and thought I would share!
Pastel background with black text reading "How to show 
solidarity with our 
disabled and 
immunocompromised
friends and neighbors
a quick guide by Mask Bloc OKC" surrounded with an ornate black frame.Pastel background with black text that reads:
KEY DEFINITIONS

Ableism - The discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical abilities are superior. 

At its heart, ableism is rooted in the assumption that disabled people require ‘fixing’ and defines people by their disability. Like racism and sexism, ableism classifies entire groups of people as ‘less than,’ and includes harmful stereotypes, misconceptions, and generalizations of people with disabilities. 

Immunocompromised - Having a weakened immune system. People who are immunocompromised have a reduced ability to fight infections and other diseases. This may be caused by certain diseases or conditions, such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes, malnutrition, and certain genetic disorders. It may also be caused by certain medicines or treatments, such as anticancer drugs, radiation therapy, and stem cell or organ transplant. Also called immunosuppressed.Pastel background with black text heading that reads:

Education

and then in a bulleted list:

Listen to your disabled friends and family, ask questions, and accept feedback!

Understand and unpack the impact of ableism on everybody, not just disabled people.

Dyanamic Disabilities exist! Some people are able to be ‘normally’ one day, and then unable to move the next. 

Familiarize yourself on viral illnesses, chronic illness, and mass disabling events.

Accomodations for disabled people help all! Ex. seating, flexible schedules, railings, elevators, drive up/delivery services.
Black text on a pastel background: Amplify Disabled Voices & Treat them NORMALLY

And below in bullet points it reads:
Treat disabled folks as full capable humans. Do not treat them like children, shout, or belittle. 

Follow disabled creators, business owners, artists, makers, workers, and voices. Interact with their work online and offline if you are able to. 

Share & promote our work. The work we create is often very difficult, or limited due to our disabilities. 

If you have all of your needs met financially, please consider donating/giving to folks who are living on a set income, dealing with medical bills, or unable to work. A lot of us are under the poverty line. 

Vote in elections vote for candidates that support accessibility and reject ableism.

Anyone can draw. Anyone. Yes, the person who is disabled can draw. Yes, you, who has only ever drawn as a preschooler. If you want to draw, you can get there, it's a skill and you have to dedicate time and effort to it, but you can learn.

Just showed my parents my health journal where I’ve recorded notes over the last 6+ years of issues. They’re shocked. I guess I’ve done a good deal of hiding my pain and fatigue. Dealing with multiple chronic illnesses sucks, but I have no choice but to keep going.

I’ve done nothing productive today besides take care of my plants. I rested all day, and thankfully no pain, but blacking out when standing up each time has really made me even more tired.

Clemency works. Clemency heals. Clemency saves lives. With just over 60 days left in his presidency, President Biden must use his clemency authority to confront mass incarceration & reunite families. I joined Representatives Clyburn, Gay Scanlon, Omar & our advocates to call him to do just that.
