I don't know that folks who haven't been paying attention realize how extremely powerful social media has been for allowing Disabled people who are otherwise isolated and excluded for so many reasons to connect and share ideas and be heard.

You can't both shove Disabled people out of offline spaces and then say "online discussion of how not to be a harmful person isn't praxis".
I mean, you can but you're being an asshole.
And for many Disabled people, those offline spaces were never accessible. It's not just masking.

At least half these reporters are Disabled, which provides them important insight and cultural competency. But nondisabled reporters can also put in the effort to learn how to cover disability well and respectfully. Check out discojourno.com for resources, or contact us for newsroom training. 9/

And for @motherjones.com, @metrauxjulia.bsky.social reported on California’s earlier failures in accessible disaster preparation, the importance of neighborhood care, the very different needs people with different disabilities have, and how any help is better than none. 8/
Your local government isn't ready to evacuate disabled people
California's fire-prone counties left people to die. Other communities don't have to.

I first learned Chumbawamba were goated when they struck a deal with GM for use of one of their songs, then gave all the money to activist groups who launched a campaign against GM.
And also when they dunked on a PM that one time.

You're def on the trail about the fractured state of leftist spaces.
But you're still an asshole for being ignorant. You ARE blaming workers, when so much of what is "obvious" is made difficult to find and read by design.
That's why 'suckers' exist, and why corps make billions off labour.

AI/ML's only a toolbox later adopted by corps to exploit, abuse and replace human labour.
It's really irritating how dumb AI discourse is more than anything else. The problem is not with computers. It's power and our stupid systems.
