iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Anti-carceral care is active, intentional, and about refusing the logics of punishment, control, and pathologization. Instead, we cultivate relationships of trust, dignity, and agency. It is work and practice, but it is possible.

030

🌿 Checking in with what someone actually wants and honoring their boundaries.  🌿 Offering food, grounding touch (if consented), quiet presence, or ritual.  🌿 Calling on networks of peers, neighbors, and healers—not the state.  🌿 Knowing your own limits and passing care to others without abandonment.

130

3️⃣ Anti-carceral care can look like:  🌿 Sitting with someone in their grief, rage, confusion, or altered state without needing to “fix” them.  🌿 Building collective safety plans rooted in trust, not punishment.

130

2️⃣ Anti-carceral care isn’t just “don’t call the cops.” It’s about creating new options and refusing the violent defaults that treat distress as dangerous.

130

1️⃣ Bearing witness might feel like doing nothing—especially if you’re used to systems that step in, control, and make choices on people’s behalf. But listening, believing, and holding space is often the most radical care.

✨ Anti-carceral care is not doing nothing ✨ Too often people assume that “anti-carceral care” means ignoring someone’s crisis, or abandoning them without support. That’s not it.

guh btw we are still topping up esims every day, we were just a bit… demoralized because the networks for two esims were changed and we basically had to start over with -hundreds- of esims we were regularly topping up. bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

The only research center in the United States focused on disabled parents may close soon due to loss of federal funding. New from me at @motherjones.com. “It is a profound setback for disability rights and family equity.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

You're not a failure if you can't hack the academy. It's ableist. You might not be cut out for it because it's designed to kill folks with your disabilities. It tried to kill me when I had a manic breakdown. You didn't fail if you can't fit its awful constrictions & codes, you just can't conform.

Winter emergencies hit disabled people hardest. Let’s prepare together and keep our communities safe. Warming centers: 211 | Disability & Disaster Hotline: 800-626-4959

Slide 1 shows a blue winter-themed background with falling snowflakes. Centered is a large white rectangle with bold black text that reads, “Winter Tips for Disabled People.”

Slide 2: “Dangers of winter storms for disabled people.” Below the heading is a bulleted list that reads: “Power outages + cold temps → loss of heat/equipment, increased health risks.” “Batteries draining faster (wheelchairs, AAC, hearing aids, ventilators).” “Medication instability (some meds can’t freeze or need refrigeration).” “Blocked access → snow/ice on ramps, sidewalks, curb cuts, transit delays.” “Direct service disruptions when PCAs/home health can’t travel safely.”

Slide 3: “To stay prepared this winter.” The bullet points read: “Fully charge mobility + assistive devices; keep batteries out of the cold.” “Plan for heat loss: blankets, layers, safe warming options.” “Protect medications from freezing or overheating.” “Arrange snow removal for ramps, doors, and accessible paths.” “Confirm paratransit availability + set personal attendants backup plans.” “Take advantage of public libraries as warming centers during their normal hours.”

Slide 4: “Winter 2025 is already bringing Arctic cold, early snow, and dangerous storms across the country.” Below that, a second paragraph reads, “This season, let’s strengthen our support networks, check on one another, and make inclusive disability preparedness a priority.”

there's literal police departments on this directory of alternatives 😭 alternative to what? "untrained" police? so misleading!

Building alternatives to 911 must be rooted in prison abolition, anti-capitalism, & radical autonomy, esp for BIPOC communities. Otherwise, you're reproducing the same coercive, paternalistic, anti-Black, ableist systems under the guise of "community care," and gaining some capital along the way.
