Disabled, AuDHD. Queer. Anti-fascist. Trans rights are human rights, eugenics is alive and evil, and white supremacy is a curse.

I can’t wait to do a deep dive on how precarious disabled life is in an ableist world. Many thanks to my agent Julia Kardon of HG Literary and editor Anna Kaufman

“White genocide” is the only genocide in history where no one actually dies.
white people falling in love with non-white people and having babies with them isn't 'ethnic cleansing,' hope this helps

This still happens in the US too, both permanent sterilization or non consensual long-term birth control(not trying to derail or take away from the discussion at all, just naming that we are not exempt from this)
Eugenic sterilizations are not a thing of the past, relegated to history, to “back then.” Gift link.

Despite Bans, Disabled Women Are Still Being Sterilized in Europe
Governments have declared the practice a human rights violation. But they have made exceptions that are divisive among parents, doctors and social workers.

The idea that folks are like "well that wheelchair user must be Wrong, because they moved their legs" instead of like "Hmm what non-manipulative reasons could someone who can move their legs be using a wheelchair?"
Just fucking pisses me off.

Having had a hysto less than a week ago, it is HORRIFYING to me that people put people who are unable to understand what is happening through this surgery and recovery.
Also: forced sterilization by the state is still good law in the US. It's still legal.

The Hibernian Society served as a meeting point for business elites and slave owners in the Irish community in South Carolina to make connections as they sought to enrich themselves via the racial slave system they adopted. One of its early presidents owned approx 400 slaves.

Musk’s schoolyard utterings about the history of abolitionism are likewise ill-informed and predictably rooted in reactionary denialist politics. To argue that Denmark and Britain led the anti-slavery charge erases the ultimate sacrifices that countless thousands of slaves made when they revolted.

By flattening out the specific to the general, the how and why of the matter vanish, and its consequences and ongoing legacies become opaque or are denied.
European colonialism in the Americas included the development of a form of racial slavery that really has no direct parallel in world history.

“Slavery is not the institution of an particular Colour, Age, or Country; it has ever existed...”

If you’ve witnessed the growth of online extremism in Ireland over the past few years, then the constant minimisation of the threat of the far-right (by the authorities and some of the commentariat) has been akin to watching a disaster happen in slow motion.
