None of us live completely independently. We all rely on others to varying extents. But by demonising disabled people, the media frames needing support to live as the worst crime you could commit. We all deserve more support from the government to live well. /1

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism. They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

The victim was aged between 6 and 9. The reporting seems to miss the point that a child cannot consent to sex, so "sexual experience" should be accurately described as "previous rapes". The whole thing is disgusting.

We aren’t meant to live under constant threat Our nervous systems weren’t designed for it End stage capitalism and fascism are existential threats to our survival… and the 24 hour news cycle makes it impossible to get a break. It’s ok to unplug. It’s ok to rest. It’s ok to prioritize yourself.

And the lack of international concertation. The west invested heavily on 2 corporations, while there were many other available in the world. A pandemic policy that went narrow colonial mindset... when all the vaccines should have been delivered globally.

If Labor can remove children with autism from the NDIS at the stroke of a pen, why can't they remove the AUKUS subs from the defence budget at the stroke of a pen? 🤔

Autism isn’t something you “fix”. And “what’s wrong” isn’t people with disability. The problem is the way care work isn’t valued, supported and funded because it’s largely seen as “women’s work

No, one group of autistic people is not “eclipsing” others, because NO autistics are getting enough support. NONE. Shame on organizations that let parents with unfounded claims make life harder for autistic people whose struggles are less obvious, but no less real or brutal. #neurodiversity

With budgetary attacks on Medicaid underway, it’s a good time to revisit Marta Russell’s money model of disability—a Marxist theory of disablement that explains how even the most neglected care systems become profitable under capitalism. I wrote about it in 2021 on Blind Archive

I'll never understand why people are so comfortable assuming that people aren't disabled for the sake of dunking. How many people with energy-limiting or other disabilities knew they had a disability before they heard their condition named "laziness"?

This explains my issues with any segregated settings incredibly well. As soon as we start to believe a small group of people is bad and doesn't deserve basic rights and decency, the more likely the group will expand over time and their "just punishment" will worsen. /1

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians? If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023. Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?

Like what scam do you think disabled people are trying to pull by sometimes needing to rely on a service? If you make a statement like “NOBODY NEEDS DOORDASH!” And someone says “well, actually? I kinda do, here’s why,” isn’t the normal response “oh, I didn’t think about that” not “you’re wrong!”
