On Twitter, it felt like people added image descriptions in a kind of "Oh fine I'll do it," kind of mood. Here, it's so hard to believe that people do it delightfully, kindfully, in a spirit of helping others not just because Twitter kept pushing it.

And I think that, if this attitude of actually wanting to help, wanting to work together, pushes from Mastodon to the rest of computing industry, I think things will be a lot better. Because this is a lot of what anti-ableism is. Not doing something begrudgingly, like Twitter, but doing it because it's good, because it helps, because if it were you on the other end, you'd want someone to do it for you.

Żyjemy w świecie kapitalistycznym, w którym wartość człowieka dla społeczeństwa jest mierzona tym na ile "użyteczny" jest ten człowiek dla rynku pracy, dla interesu państwa i korporacji. Według logiki tego świata osoby chore, starsze, niepełnosprawne, słabsze fizycznie są zbędne. Zatem działania proeugeniczne są zgodne z kapitalistycznym sposobem myślenia. Jeśli świat ten ma się zmienić na lepsze absolutnie niezbędne jest odrzucenie eugeniki i dyskryminacji osób uważanych za zbędne. Każdy powinien mieć takie samo prawo do życia, realizowania swoich potrzeb i do istnienia w przestrzeni publicznej. Noszenie masek, filtracja powietrza, dostosowywanie budynków do potrzeb osób o różnej mobilności itp itd są absolutnie niezbędnymi działaniami, nie tylko umożliwiają one ludziom korzystanie z owych podstawowych praw, ale też są niezbędne do walki z kapitalizmem.

Turns out #spoutible uses a bot to determine its users #normal rating. That seems totally normal and not #problematic at all. Who the fuck gets to determine what is and isn't normal in 2023? I'm not going to let a bot tell me how not normal I am. What universe did I just wake up in? Seriously?

@MakersDozn Ahhh, conditioned resilience in the face of interpersonal & systemic discrimination.
I wish we lived in a world that accommodated & accepted/welcomed difference & wasn’t so damn determined to categorize everyone who deviates from dominant social norms as deficient.
I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to dismantle institutional oppression & push back against conformity culture. I’m so grateful I can, but I wish I didn’t need to. #DEI #AntiAbleism #PeopleB4Profit

The original post (in Spanish) features #ErnestoReaño, a major voice for #AutismAcceptance and #AntiAbleism for the IberoAmerican #Neurodiverse community. His video https://youtu.be/hjW6fC0VVjE reflects over a TV documentary of
@salvadostv about #Autism, its ableist focus is a major setback for years of activism in favor of #AutisticVoices and #AutismAcceptance

@jensimmons I wont.

There is different reasons why I am "like that", one being #antiableism

As I dont have the time today (nor the whole week) to lengthily rant into this topic, I'm gonna drop a lengthy one-size-fits-all blog post in my blog at some point, and then reference it here.

Ableism in the uk is increasing and it’s becoming very worrying it was bad before covid but now it’s getting much worse #disabilityjustice #antiableism #actuallyautisitic

Same presentation but in english :

So, everyone is doing a presentation so i'll do the same :

I'm Erin, trans & genderqueer of thirty yo.

I'm mostly talking about #transfeminism , #antipsychiatry and #antiableism, and a lot of shitpost and overanalysis of works of fiction (a lot could involve #buffy and #angel )

I'm also doing french translations of activist texts and I do a lot of #peersupport in #antiableist organizations.

Happy to meet all of you

I'm interested in folks feedback on that facilitation guide/rule I posted above.

This is building on the work of adrienne maree brown's "Emergent Strategy", AORTA Collective's Handout on "Anti-Oppressive Facilitation for Democtratic Process," and Brian Arao and Kristi Clemen's "From Safe Spaces to Brave Spaces"...

Can we maybe acknowledge the fact that image descriptions are not only for the benefit of "visually impaired" persons?!?

This term particularly annoys us. Descriptive image information is also very "nice" for people with other "impairments" .. eg. #autism #adhd
cognitive dysfunctions etc. And thus, "Describe the image" should be the correct term, and nothing else.

So yes, I might come over snarky once in a while, "odd", "strange", "nasty", "weird", "behaving like a troll" - which happens, when my social masking, that I'm primarly running for YOUR convenience, so I can interact with YOU, the "neurotypicals" and YOUR world, glitches, and you see the actual person looking through the cracks of the mask. Bear with it, after all, its so that YOU can feel "safe".

After the recent influx of new people rushing onto the Fediverse, some of who may be part of the before-mentioned crowd, but also a lot of positive posts, like the one by @cel

We decided its time to NOT get our #safespace taken away again. We won't remain silent just for YOUR convenience, because YOU feel threatened when marginalized people are living their lifes without being excluded and removed from THIS world that is OURS, too. #autism #notsilent #antiableism

on #autism, #neurodivergent and #antiableism

We have been part of the #silenced crowd for far too long. Whenever we decided to speak up just a bit, neurotypicals, "normies", but also a lot of "supposedly" equals, have mercilessly and ignorantly pushed us down with acidic comments like "you're just using your autism/diagnosis/disability as an excuse for being an edgelordish troll/to gain attention" etc. Including stalking or defamination actions against our social network profiles, etc.
