Watching people “discover” environmental racism, and then double down on doing it has been depressing.

Chrysalis Beeswax, Bedsheet 2025 The bed as a cocoon, the pupa in transition, the ill body and its bed are often one. I continue to synthesize the chronically ill body with its created environment to be safe, comfortable, and thrive. The bedspace is a portal. #Mold #Sculpture #DisabledArtist

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.
The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.

Today I was accused of not doing enough to fight for disabled people. Shamed for not being at protests or more active in boycotts. I’m housebound, almost completely bedbound. I would love to be out protesting, but my body can’t do it. I can’t help anyone if I don’t survive🧵

“You don’t need a respirator for pollen, take antihistamines” “No point masking for smoke unless you’re wearing it 24/7” “They don’t work for Covid unless fit tested” We’ve failed at harm reduction. Even if something isn’t 100%, if you reduce risk & harm, that’s worth it!

PLEASE share this update as much as y'all did the first one! Bluesky did NOT fix their violent ableism towards me, and in fact doubled down on their assertion that ableist is a slur.

HEY NEVERMIND THEY'RE STILL PUNISHING ME FOR BEING DISABLED. @moderation.bsky.app why are you ableist as fuck? #a11y #neisvoid #disability
They removed my ableism list againMy email to moderation.

I'm gonna need you to justify censoring my personal moderation list for ableists TWICE now. After you broke your own policy to nuke it once, then replaced it without explanation, then sent me another alleged violation notice. How is not wanting to deal with ableism so offensive to you? Who keeps making these punitive decisions without any communication from a human?

I am appealing on behalf of all my lists you have unfairly censored on my account fallonturing, including the ableism one which I thought I'd censored enough on my end for you to approve of. I've now removed all profanity. Is that good enough?

I just don't understand what you want here. I thought you wanted community moderation. that means letting users make judgmwnt calls based on personal opinion. What is your standard of evidence for unsupported claims? Should I start keeping a spreadsheet? Does that seem like a fair standard to apply to regular users?

Fix this.

three porcelain life casted objects: two legs and a hand on a tummy. They lay on a fluffy surface with a white bedsheet. From the bed, a pile of white pillows form a body that has the tummy and hand piece in the middle.

Tips for being good disability advocate 1. Listen to Disabled/Chronically ill people 2. Do not project your own ideas or beliefs you have about disabled people as a whole onto anyone. They're likely wrong everyone is unique 3. Treat disabled/chronically ill people the way they want to be treated

Hey, white disabled people, you can still be racist even though you’re disabled. Let’s celebrate Black people and not forget that if it weren’t for the Black Panthers, we wouldn’t have the ADA. Minorities who stick together, thrive together.

Behind it is a handmade ribcage on the wall.A dramatically lit ceramic piece that is a life cast hand pinching a torso with a ribcage on the other side of it. There is space between the two pieces.

Why do many disabled people urge you to wear a mask? Because we know how the system works. Viruses can disable you and once you become disabled, doctors won't listen to you, you'll have to fight to receive any assistance, and you'll get denied over and over again. We want you to mask to spare that.
