We shouldn't assume every person who, for example, doesn’t wear a mask in public or doesn't use alt text is a total asshole (and accessibility needs do conflict). But you also can’t be surprised when disabled people are fed up. They’re excluded from society either way regardless of your intention.

Karrie has been in an extremely tough housing and medical situation for 5 years local to me, please help 🙏🏼

Iowa is actively the worst state for trans and nonbinary disabled people

Please donate anything you can to Karrie, so Karrie can leave Iowa! 💜
Here is mine. HHL= a nonprofit that manages the funds -- yes all donated in my name go to me. I MUST present receipts.

I will open comments ONLY to disabled people to post theirs. If you are not disabled and make this about you, I'm blocking.

Disabled people are 11 times more likely to die during labor/in the postpartum period than non-disabled people. Better education and smashing ableism is how we get out of this horrible stat.

For the past year, I’ve been looking into the topic of disability and pregnancy for @motherjones.com 🧵
Pregnancy is a minefield when you're disabled
Few OB-GYNs get disability training—and their disabled patients are far likelier to die.

Rua Williams and Liz Jackson are writing actual critical thoughts about non-disabled people getting to be “experts” on OUR culture and how they’re backed up by hegemonic systems like publishing!!
Anyway, here's our piece that started this thread. bsky.app/profile/lizj...
“The idea of a flag that unites us all is no different than a universally designed product that is intended for all. Both require the totalizing force of colonization to unify the masses through homogeny.” Read my and @fractalecho.bsky.social latest:

I don’t have a lot of capacity to deal with this but I just found out the sixth edition of the Disability Studies Reader is out. Four years ago a bunch of disability studies scholars, activists & artists protested our inclusion in this textbook.

I can’t really tolerate starting another social media from scratch. I am happy for y’all who can but realistically I got on twitter in 2009 before I had any clue I was sick. I just do not have the same/comparable capacity like I did then.

Historically, NSFW creators and SWs are always the foundational users of any new social site, and historically, they're the first ones to get hidden/forced off once corporations start sniffin' around looking to make money. Use your dang moderation settings if NSFW bothers you and let folks be
porn prevented this app from becoming an nft trading hellhole like it was initially envisioned by jack dorsey. i'd rather it becomes the biggest safe space for sex workers on the internet
“keep the horny off this app”

how about stop showing up and hating on the sex workers here that were amongst the first to join the app, actually.
set your muted words and moderation preferences so you don’t see what you don’t want to but don’t try to bully them off bluesky

These bans represent escalating fascism. They’re preying on people’s hatred for the disabled as well as their anger over mask mandates and covid policies.

The best way to push back? Wear a mask. Right now.

Call local lawmakers & tell them you won’t visit any state or county with a ban.

This discriminatory and ableist bill puts lives at risk and further isolates vulnerable people from society. It's pandering to anti-maskers who seek to punish disabled and high risk individuals.
