@BalooUriza @SallyStrange @mzedp This makes me really sad. That means captions (not speech) are being altered to get around censors, but this hurts disabled people who rely on captions for access. #Unfair #DisabilityJustice #UnequalAccess

Unpaid leave doesn’t reflect the importance of caring in our society and fails to give carers the financial recognition for the work they do.

☀️💻🥬Okay time to fully embrace my #solarpunk personality.

Reading manifestos and excited about the things I would add to it. Mostly an emphasis on #disabilityjustice #tinkerjoy

This one talks on the "three guiding principles of solarpunk: #anarchism, #ecology, and #justice"

My friend sent me this zine that I think will resonate with a lot of those here that are queer/disabled/immunocompromised or in community with those who are: as we watch in dread those who are rallying over "back to normal spaces" that throw pandemic cautions, and us, in the corner. The zine is in digital text format, with pdf and print options, and is accompanied by a recording of people reading through it for audio listeners.

"Sour Queer Press: Pride and Rage Edition" by Sour Queer Press

> If we believe that queerness is truly subversive to the state, to domination, and to the evils of capitalism, then we need to center accessibility when we shape our spaces, interpersonal relationships, and politics. This is not an arbitrary preference, it’s a matter of survival. Disabled and immunocompromised people have always existed, but are constantly forced to survive in the margins, even in explicitly “anti-oppressive” spaces. We want to actively challenge this deep-set ableist pattern by making disability liberation a central node of how we live queer lives.

It makes me so mad how many people were like "Free Britney Spears!" and now that she's free and posting sexy videos they're like "This was a mistake, we should apologise to her dad."

It shows how most of the movement was never about real liberation, just about making sure the 'right' people lose their self determination.

Talks about freeing specific people (especially celebrities) from guardianship MUST be centred in a Disability Justice and Abolition framework. Or it means nothing.

NO ONE deserves guardianship. It is an inherently abusive framework.

I truly find it abhorrent that we think the solution to people needing care is warehousing people in nursing homes. No one dreams of growing old and ending up in a nursing home. No one deserves this. Governments can do better, they just don't.

For a lot of people it's their worst nightmare, and yet no alternative is given.
