In our Disability Community + Movement North Star Memo, we identified key problems that the disability community is facing and solutions that will help us in our fight for liberation. Here are those problems and solutions. Read the whole memo via the link in our bio: tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.
Text reads, “Problems + Solutions. Problem: Disabled people across the U.S. are in crisis, forced to live in poverty, and subjected to exclusion and criminalization. Solutions: Everyone has enough to live and thrive, regardless of disability. Disabled people deserve housing, food, transit, meaningful work, community, and joy regardless of our ability to labor for a wage. Deep funding for access and care, and abolition of all carceral systems, including institutionalized health care settings such as forced nursing home and psychiatric facilities, prisons and jails, immigrant detention centers, guardianships, and the family regulation system. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is dark teal on the top and off white on the bottom with dark teal and yellow text and dark teal and yellow triangular shapes. In the bottom right corner, there is the page number, 2.Text reads, “Problems + Solutions. Problems: The U.S. is built on a history of white supremacist, eugenic, disabling violence that continues today. The current Administration is echoing this history and founding of the United States: using eugenic rhetoric and policy, institutionalization, tear gas, guns, and violent arrests as part of its strategy to delegitimize, disappear, mass-disable, and kill us. Solution: Inclusive interdependent communities, that we choose for ourselves, where everyone belongs and has autonomy and control over their own lives. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is dark teal on the top and off white on the bottom with dark teal and yellow text and dark teal and yellow triangular shapes. In the bottom right corner, there is the page number, 3.
Text reads, “Problems + Solutions. Problem: Billionaires and their allies in government put profits and power before people, using corporate abuse, state violence, and eugenics to disable people. Solution: An end to sacrifice zones and sacrifice community politics — and a process of accountability and repair for both. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is dark teal on the top and off white on the bottom with dark teal and yellow text and dark teal and yellow triangular shapes. In the bottom right corner, there is the page number, 4.
Text reads, “Problems + Solutions. Problem: Capitalism is disabling. It values billionaire profits, power, and production over people. It casts and stigmatizes disabled people as fakers and takers who threaten the bottomline and therefore are not worthy of care, dignity, joy, or investment. Solution: All disabled people have access to the care we need, for ourselves and our loved ones. We are allowed to work, save, and marry freely without tax or penalty; and benefits are tied to need, not work, income, or savings. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is dark teal on the top and off white on the bottom with dark teal and yellow text and dark teal and yellow triangular shapes. In the bottom right corner, there is the page number, 5.

These things really bother me because games journalists are always saying they're pro-union. Well, Japan's game industry doesn't has mass layoffs because of the work of labor unions! Of strikes! But here we are, rewriting that history into "Japanese CEOs are nicer". Kill the neoliberal inside you.

Here are our three priority narratives for the upcoming year that came out of our conversations for the Disability Community + Movement North Star Memo. Read the whole memo via the link in our bio: at tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.
Text reads, “Disability Community + Movement North Star Memo. Our Priority Narratives for the Next Year. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is yellow with dark teal text and dark teal triangular shapes. There is a transparent image of disabled people faded in the background. In the bottom right corner there is the page number, 1.Text reads, “Our Priority Narratives for the Next Year. 1) Interdependence builds joyful communities resilient to hate and fear. Disabled people are great caregivers, and we have equal value whether we are giving or receiving care. Interdependence, and the radical inclusion that comes with it, is critical to making our communities strong. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is yellow with dark teal text and dark teal triangular shapes. There is a transparent image of disabled people faded in the background. In the bottom right corner there is the page number, 2.Text reads, “Our Priority Narratives for the Next Year. 2) Disabled people are worthy of dignity, solidarity, and respect just as we are. We deserve everything we need to survive, thrive, and lead and contribute meaningfully — whether or not we contribute to capitalism. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

The graphic is yellow with dark teal text and dark teal triangular shapes. There is a transparent image of disabled people faded in the background. In the bottom right corner there is the page number, 3.Text reads, “Our Priority Narratives for the Next Year. 3) The U.S. government is pushing a eugenic agenda — disguised as a health movement — to kill and institutionalize disabled people and mass-disable even more people they deem undesirable. Tinyurl.com/DisCoNSV.”

today's card pull: the mind conjures a lot of swords which cut us daily, but it is not our only repository of knowledge. There's deep wisdom grounded in our body: pay attention to sensations, quiet the mind, feel into your roots. What's happening there? #tarot #tarotsky #cotd

Our Managing Director, Kenrya Rankin, is featured in Colorlines’ DemocracyIs: campaign today. In this interview, she talks about DCL's mission and our very exciting publication, the Disability Community + Movement North Star Memo, launching on September 23! Read more: tinyurl.com/KenryaColorl...
Text reads, “Diversity alone isn’t enough to resist rising authoritarianism: we need interdependence. We need interdependent communities, and we need culture shifts and policy that promote that interdependence to push back the fascists. Kenrya Rankin (she/her). Managing Director, Disability Culture Lab,” for Colorlines’ DemocracyIs: “From Wedges to Bridges: Why 
a Reimagined Democracy Calls for Intersectional Narratives.”

Community online does still exist, and I ADORE those places. But when AI is always listening, how safe do we feel to be vulnerable & have real discussions? In a world where platforms incentivise rage bait and digital addiction over human interaction, are we losing digital community spaces?

There is also a weird thing with wanting more games to feature diverse viewpoints, then acknowledging indies are doing that, so basically what you want is a big budget game to do what indies are doing... And you gotta give this up.

This is my watercolor painting named Stranded. #art #watercolors #surrealart #couple #sea
A dreamlike watercolor illustration of a woman with flowing blue hair lying peacefully beside a pale, translucent figure, surrounded by stylized turquoise waves. Enormous curling waves rise around them with delicate white foam, while a warm orange sky and a pale sun create a serene contrast. The figures seem partially immersed in or merging with the water, giving the scene a quiet, surreal, otherworldly atmosphere.

Hollywood did this exact same thing under the nearly identical studio system after a global pandemic/financial crisis and what happened? Everyone unionized. Game studios when they hear their workers are interested in unionizing under virtually the same industry circumstances:

Hand embroidery is the perfect teacher of perseverance. The end is never closer unless you do a little here and a little there. No pressure, just keep going, and eventually, you're done. The goal is to finish, but the work itself is why we do it. #HandEmbroidery #FungiFriends #GoblinCore

Not exactly a #DailyAffirmation, but was surprising to hear @fdsignifier.bsky.social say it in an older video about Amber Heard when it felt relevant to me. Have a good one, y’all.
“I’ve been chronically online for 3 years now, as a part of this as a career. And I’ve had more than a few hate campaigns towards me, and one thing I’ve learned from this is that people can effectively just make up shit or at best take something with the tiniest sliver of truth and just repeat it telephone style in comment sections and reddit boards until it becomes basically factual lore and blown out of proportion. Because when you make shit up online, you don’t have to look people in the eye to do it. And when people don’t like you, or looking for a reason not to like you, the burden of truth and factuality on whatever bad thing they hear about you is very, very low.”
