"Guillermo del Toro was so intentional about EVERYTHING" and yet hardly anybody is talking about how he put more disability and illness into the story than exists in the OG Frankenstein texts!! 😶🌫️

If I received a dollar for every time I came across this kind of question:
"For $$$$, would you [horrible thing we happily force disabled people to do their entire lives] for a month!?"
I'd actually be able to afford my $400+ a month medical bills.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

Instead of saying "fuck disabled people, i have to work 40+ hours a week to survive"...
You could stand in solidarity with us and help us achieve a world where your worth and survival is not dependent on how much work you can do, how little sleep you can get, and how many people you can starve.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that empathy, care, and justice are scarce resources, and that if someone gains rights or support, someone else must lose them.
This isn't the case.
We made this shit up.
Wanting better for everyone isn’t a threat, it’s the foundation of collective liberation!!

I've been thinking about how deeply our hyper-individualistic culture twists conversations about oppression. Too often, “I wish I had support too,” is heard as, “I wish someone else didn’t have support so I can have it.”
And this misunderstanding isn’t exactly accidental 🫣

The problem with having a special interest in disability theory is that so many of the books are acedemic and so cost $50+ 😭
excuse me for wanting to read about the biopolitics of disability and not make my bank explode

I feel this "in the real world" talk
1) creates a self-fullfilling cycle of absolving others of social responsibilities
2) presents disability as an individual issue, and
2) only benefits our ableist systems and people in power.
Why reinforce "the real world" when we can push for better?

stop telling your neurodivergent child that in "the real world" people won't accommodate them, so they should suck it up. this is the real world and you shouldn't be your child's first bully

I always enjoy reading Ceinwen's blogs 💖
October blog is UP! Typical of my kind of Halloween, things got very WW2 and Frankenstein focused.
Featuring six book reviews, four film reviews (a couple of which turned into interlocking mini-essays) and an enthusiastic spruik for magazines.

Listen, I hate Trump, but insulting him through his health and physical condition(s?) is rooted in ableism.
Take aim at his choices, not the fact he allegedly needs a colostomy bag.

![a screenshot of an ABC article with a black background and white text. the text reads "Scientific leadership during COVID.
Professor Morawska's expertise became especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, and her leadership led to global recognition that the virus spreads mainly through the air.
Her work in previous years, including on the 2003 SARS pandemic, had "equipped [her] with an understanding of how respiratory infections are transmitted", including the key role of tiny, airborne particles."
I have highlighted the phrase "during covid" in yellow.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xcaykoibh7zflyp36e4alvz2/bafkreicbbmmos4s2r377xw6mp3lazczmfaiznqoifi6dcj6bdsy3lcfztq@jpeg)
