Eugenics is about collectively demarcating who among us is “inferior” enough, in the “right” ways, to be actively or passively cut out of society. It relies on us not caring about disability justice & also encourages people to disable each other to the point they can be easily,wordlessly left behind
Long Covid is more prevalent in children in the US now than asthma. We are fucking destroying the next generations w/our behavior. (And adults.)
If you do care about resisting eugenics maybe start by not being the vector that disables a kid in RFK’s US. That is not too much to ask. It really isn’t.

Accessibility is popular, it's rare I meet anyone who thinks it doesn't matter.
Usually it's the systemic failures that make us de-prioritize it, things like perceived tight timelines, low budgets, lack of resources.
Regardless, the future world is accessible. There's too many of us that want it
