Heartbreaking. Profoundly moving. Thank God for the Ayalas, and for the broader #disabilityawareness activists have fought for. #longread #disability #institutionalization

@theyfemme @thomasfuchs This! Guarantee that every one of those maximalist fuckers is thinking that they are going to be “totally be fine”, even if they are sick.

What they don’t consider is all of the people they impact who won’t be fine if they get sick. #disabilityawareness

I like this silly “Memoji” of me in my FFFP3 mask. It’s cute and reminds me of a time when a mask was so normal, a huge corporation made it a virtual accessory option. The full range of emotions are visible on the little emoji despite the mask. It wasn’t that long ago this was something we did for each other- masking & testing.(continued in comments) #covid #MaskUp #ChronicIllness #DisabilityAwareness #DisabledJoy

🌈 Discover the meaning of the #DisabilityPride flag! Each color represents something special in our community:

The 🖤 Black background mourns ableist abuse while the rainbow celebrates people with:

💚 Green: Sensory disabilities
💙 Blue: Physiological disabilities/mental health
🤍 White: Non-visible/undiagnosed disabilities
💛 Gold: Neurodiversity
❤️ Red: Physical disabilities

Happy pride, everyone!

#InclusionMatters #DisabilityAwareness

During the fourth session of the 2023 Disability Power in Pride series, hosted virtually by Marie Dagenais-Lewis on July 11, disability advocates Nidhi Jaisoor, Briana Logsdon, and Megan Pendleton shared some of their experiences with medical gaslighting.

#DisabilityPrideMonth history lesson! 📚 ♿

Did you know the 504 Sit-In for #disabilityrights took place outside ERA's former San Francisco office ❓❓

Led by Judy Heumann, Kitty Cone & strongly supported by the Black Panthers, the sit-in spread nationally & helped change federal law.

Today marks the beginning of #disabilitypridemonth.

I therefore thought today was a good day, to launch my new advocacy group for Brimbank residents who are disabled, neurodivergent or still coviding (and their allies).

It is a brand new group, so don't worry that there are no members yet (I literally just launched it)! It won't take long for our community to start rallying together for what we need.

The group is aptly called The 'Brimbank Disability & Neurodiversity Advocacy Group'. It is a private group and a safe space. You can join the group here 👇

This is all I need today!
When I noticed that there was no online attendance option for Chloé Hayden's tour, I reached out. Chloe's Mum (Sarah), was kind enough to look into this for me.
Although it was not achievable this time, Sarah advised that they will now be offering online attendance as an option for events going forward.

I love it when event organisers; who had overlooked live-streams as a mechanism to inclusion, act on feedback and commit to removing such barriers to participation. Even better when they actively acknowledge your contribution and encourage you to continue the fight for better disability inclusion.

Will you now make the same commitment?

#TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
“Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”

(continued in replies.)

Black for bad
and red for good
With a spinning canvas background.
Black,
the colour of my faded smile
Black, the whole within your heart.
Red's the love that people share
Red the heart to show you care.
