what is our community dinner and who's running it and could your community do something similar? let's break it down a lil thread for our small town 🧵

Your worth is not tied to your health. It’s not tied to your productivity. Capitalism and ableism teach us that our value is tied up in how much we “produce” for others. It’s not. You have value just as you are. We all do.

Get offline for a day. Create something. I'm serious. You cannot endure our current reality in ANY timeline if you are constantly scraping your raw nerves across the jagged edges of the evil that people do. You need tangible, embodied reminders that we endure through hope and love, not despair.

Trick or treat soilpunks! 👻 Meet Sophie Strand, guest editor of Tractor Beam's forthcoming Halloween mini-issue, Bodies. Sophie is a poet, writer, and self-identified compost heap based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology.

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets. The disability tax is real. Everything costs more when you’re sick, and special diets are no exception. Boost & donate to mutual aid. People need help.

Take nothing for granted, make sure to get out and vote Connolly tomorrow. This presidential election has the potential to bring about a major shift in Irish politics, with a united left providing a real alternative to over a century of tweedledum tweedledee FF/FG. share.google/8EX5qs8gi3mX...

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward. "We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

Looks like the news is out. May her memory be a blessing. Miss Major, Presente!

Amazing scenes at Dublin Airport as the first of the Irish participants on the Global Sumud Flotilla are due home! #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸 Video Ruairí McKiernan

Covid is not over. It’s still killing & disabling Our “rush back to normal” has devastated millions of lives It’s a novel virus. We don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know isn’t encouraging The good news? You can make a difference Wear a mask. Clean the air. Get vaccinated.

Disability is not a moral failing. Being homeless is not a moral failing. Capitalism and ableism set us up to fail. They reduce us to nothing more than cogs in a machine. The truth is most people are closer to becoming disabled or homeless than they can imagine. It can happen to anyone.

There’s a difference between anxiety and preparedness. There’s a difference between health stress and adaptation. Taking proactive steps to avoid repeat Covid infections is a strength. It’s something to be applauded, not psychologized. Constant reinfections are not sustainable. Mask up.

Tylenol in pregnancy doesn’t cause autism. There isn’t an “epidemic of autism”. Autism is not the fault of the mother or the child. Whatever they announce tomorrow, it won’t be based in science or truth. Stay vigilant, follow the science and support the neurodivergent community.

Disabled people aren’t “less than”. It’s not a moral failing. Most people will experience disability at some point. It’s a minority group you can join at any time. We need more accessibility, inclusion, accommodation and compassion. There’s no social justice without disability justice.

you don't have to choose between liberalism and communism (i.e. state capitalism). you can be an anarchist, and it slaps.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

If you love freedom, you’re Antifa.

It is so hard to ask for help, especially when you’re disabled & chronically ill. When you’ve spent most of your life being treated as “less than” or a drain, you worry anyone you ask for help will judge you. It takes a surprising amount of courage, so the best thing you can do is be kind

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

When Israel targets Palestinian seed banks, it’s not just destroying buildings. It’s attacking the future itself.

Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing

The UK government plans to prosecute the families of trans children in the North of Ireland if they access private healthcare and I would like to know what the Irish governemnt is going to do about this... Why are you letting the Brits terrorise Irish people?

Mushrooms & Roses is a three day event focusing on the skills & lifeways of Irish herbal traditions & the ways these heritage practices can nourish our communities through radical vitalism & community care.

Like I get the impulse (oh look when you let fascists define gender, it turns out everything they don't like is the wrong gender, big fucking shock), but the constant current of "the real victim of trans genocide are cisgender people being inconvenienced" is....really annoying!

If you guys are worried about cis people getting their genders policed in public, wait til you start listening to transsexuals over the last buncha years

Slovenia the first to deliver long overdue action to enforce international law & end trade with illegal settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territories - Ireland needs to rapidly follow through & include ban on services as recommended by our FA Committee report. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I will just keep saying: two of the most important things you can do to fight fascism right now are mass protests and quiet mutual aid/community relationship-building. There's not a lot of the former going on and I have some thoughts about that, but the latter is accessible to everybody.

We're gathering at Common Knowledge in North Clare on Wednesday the 30th of July at 6pm to share space, share food and talk about upcoming events, new locations for the social, and what else you'd like to see and share in our queer futures. Bring what you like! @queershedsclare.bsky.social

A wee glimpse at our Queer Resilience herbalism skill share @queershedsclare.bsky.social

Today! The Dáil 12.30 to 3.30pm, 5pm, 5.30pm Our government says what apartheid Israel is doing to Palestinians is genocide, yet they won't stop the Central Bank funding it. They must support the opposition motion demanding the Central Bank stops this. #StopFundingGenocide

So ICE agents are allowed to cover their face for the literal purpose of hiding their identify while kidnapping & disapwaeing people… Yet disabled folks have been fighting mask bans for the last year. Bans which threaten our very survival. Bans which refuse to exempt medical masks & N95s

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

No one consents to being disabled. We don’t choose it. It chooses us. We aren’t asked how we feel about it. Whether we can afford it or if we have family to care for us. It just happens. It’s not a moral failing, you can’t “try harder” your way out of it. Disability justice benefits everyone

Deny. Defend. Depose. It's not just for the health industry. It's not just for CEOs. It's for cleaning filth.

We need radical foodways that centre accessibility & food justice, linked to the health ov ecosystems/ communities, meeting folx where they are — savvy to how state violence impacts our struggle w/ nourishment — this includes being critical ov toxic wellness in all it's supremacist manifestations.

Whoever told you that revolutionary = soldier did a grave disservice. There is no revolution without teachers, bakers, builders, child care, artists, gardeners, etc in support of a small % of frontline folks. Here's the t: the only roles available rn are revolutionary & fascist, whatever you do.
