When you become disabled there’s a few things you notice right away:

Ableism is everywhere.

People will abandon you. Even those you were certain would stick by you.

Just because something is illegal or against human rights code doesn’t mean it’s not happening ALL the time

When you equate disabled people with burden, the lives of disabled people are always in jeopardy.

These charges are insane fascist bullshit.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Being disabled and chronically ill and immunocompromised in an ongoing pandemic encouraged by a eugenicist fascist state is so fuckin’ LONELY.

I may not be the prettiest or the smartest. But let me tell you this, I'm also not the healthiest. Stop talking to me so I can go lay down.

Mom, can you come get me? I made a joke about my chronic illnesses, and nobody laughed. One person started crying.

Reach out to one creator whose work you admire and ask if they want to collaborate on something small. A shared blog post, a joint stream, cross promotion. Start building those bridges before you "need" them.

A tip for my fellow indie publishers;

Start keeping a spreadsheet of alt text for all the artwork and frequently used assets associated with your stuff. It will make your life so much easier when it comes time to do accessibility passes in books, websites, or when you need alt text for social media

Tag creators when you post about using their work at your table. "Running @ Creator's adventure tonight and my players are loving the puzzle design!" Seeing their work in action makes their day.
