Forgot to post this here. I wrote a zine that discusses history of Disability movement, Disability Justice, Spaces Theory of Access, Infectious Disease Mitigations, and more! reshapingreality.org/2025/06/17/a... #Accessibility #Zine #DisabledPeopleMadeThis #Disability #DisabilityJustice

That’s right. The billionaire bailout bill forces your tax dollars to pay for concentration camps and masked thugs to disappear your neighbors without due process. 16M people will be thrown off healthcare to pay for that, along with tax breaks for the rich.

Disabled kids like mine rely on Medicaid to survive; this bill cuts Medicaid. I don't know how else to say that medically complex disabled children will die as a result of this bill.

Learning to rest is crucial when you’re chronically ill. If you try and play through the pain, you can permanently set back your baseline. Make sure you remember to rest your brain and your body. That crushing brain fog that feels like scrambled eggs in your head? That’s a warning sign to rest

And if you change your avatar, I will likely think you a different person until one day I do a double-take on the name and either realize, or act as if you're a different person only for you to remind me who you are upon which I hide in shame forevermore.

Likely won't be a real election in 2026. With the latest SCOTUS decision, we're in fascist dictatorship territory, and yet people keep acting like elections will continue like normal. Trumpocalypse tries to jail/kidnap anyone who isn't a loyalist by then. I mean, he's trying to do that now.

Someone suggested we do what Hong Kong did and just yoink harmful bills from Trump before he signs (since he must physically sign for it to be law) and abscond with it. When Trump's goons try to tackle them, they hand it off to someone in disguise, like in a relay. Then yakety sax starts playing.

Covid is a social justice issue. If we cared about reducing transmission, we would be providing respirators, tests, vaccines, paxlovid and paid time off to everyone. If you can’t afford a mask, make sure to check for a local mask bloc! maskbloc.org

I asked radiology technicians to mask since it was a swallow x-ray test and I had to drop down my mask to drink the nasty barium stuff. They said they are "not sick and not contagious so we do not have to mask unless asked." And I did indeed ask. In the end, they said no - them two against lone me.

There isn't an opposition party at the Federal level to address what needs to happen with the Fed and Supreme Courts. I think folks should be honest about that. But we have A LOT MORE SWAY at the state and local levels. That's where I am putting my emphasis.

I saw my general care doctor who was frustrated and angry by what Trumpocalypse is doing. He admitted to being very pessimistic about if we'll see necessary vaccines and booster shots. He had very little hope of better treatments for LongCovid coming to America, which means my treatment is in limbo.

Essay about the #RightToExist: comradery.co/reshapingrea... I examined it through the lens of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but I also wanted to explore how the fascist/oppressor weaponizes various techniques to enforce their temporal reality to erase all others and to justify genocide.

Disabled people are being arrested in DC today as they're protesting Medicaid cuts. Source of this photo, ADAPT www.facebook.com/theRealNatio...

Many visibly disabled or "unfit" potential immigrants would also be turned away at Ellis Island, and indeed that was the point of the physical inspections conducted there. And these eugenicist framings of disabled people as "burdens" continue into the 21st century. nursingclio.org/2018/06/28/e...

Fun fact: people are still rejected for visas/green cards/citizenship if they're viewed as potentially being a "burden" (that's the language used). So yes, disability civil rights seem to somewhat go away during the immigration process.

So if I submit my work to an agent or publisher, will I need to write a "I do not consent to my work being put through an AI shredder to feed their LLM's and problematic insights. I request a human being to review my work" to avoid this fate? I hate this so much.

*waves in immunocompromised hermit-by-necessity* I miss going out

People ask me why I still mask. They accuse me of being 'fearful of living.' No, masks is what allows me to live. Do not mistake this medical tool for fear. Do not give in to the fascist lies that masking does nothing. A properly fitted mask can and has saved lives. It's a tool in our toolbox.

Public health advocacy and climate advocacy have a lot of transferable lessons, including dealing with some of the same bad-faith deflection responses. Every reduction in disease transmission, like every fraction of a degree of climate warning averted, makes a difference.

I wrote about Disability in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 because I love this game and also to show how #CollectiveAccess and solidarity can work in apocalyptic-like settings (like their Fracture). I also show how the #Disability class was created by Racial Capitalism: comradery.co/reshapingrea...

In the strictest sense, yes, every single thing these assholes are doing is supposed to distract from every single other thing they're doing. But you don't have to decide that means all the things aside from what you are focused on don't matter. Because they do.

Every amount helps! #ForTinu Please donate: gofund.me/f4369d18

And no, we can’t sue to stop it. Either a certain coordinate branch will act like it exists or it won’t.

Y'ALL NYT IS RIGHT-LEANING. They posted so many goddamn anti-trans hit pieces to the point they were quoted in the arguments against gender affirming healthcare. Why do people keep thinking they are progressive? They never were. They will throw anyone under the bus for views and bullshit.

I know some of you think the money raised for @tinu.bsky.social is a lot. It is but funerals are extremely expensive & she also had high medical debt. And her family relied on her. I know she'd want her family to be taken care of. If she was white, her current goal would have been exceeded.

Yes. And check on your Disabled neighbors. We usually have ice creams and frozen fruit in our freezers. I might even share if y'all are kind enough.

•US Intel confirmed Iran has 0 nukes •Iran never attacked USA •Iran offered to revive nuclear deal •Iran is a signature to NPT •Iran allows full IAEA inspections And ALL notwithstanding •Trump had no approval from Congress Trump has violated his Oath. If Congress had a spine they’d impeach him

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Long COVID is now the number one chronic illness afflicting children, surpassing asthma. Yet we're refusing to use tools that could prevent recurrent infections in kids, like clean air or Far UVC, preferring to repeat propaganda about COVID's harmlessness www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

Pretty proud of this essay. Please share!

Many disabled folks rely on powered devices to keep them alive. The extreme heat of summer often causes power outages, which kills disabled people. This is a downstream devastation of climate change - and why climate justice is so important. It’s the marginalized who will suffer the most.

reshapingreality.org/2025/06/17/a... Covers: Definitions, models of #Disability, history of Cross-movement organizing, Ten Principles of #DisabilityJustice as quoted from Sins Invalid, and the Spaces theory of #Access (Physical, Transportation, Sensory, Info/Digital, time-independent, community).

it cannot simultaneously be true that media outlets like the Times and the Post are the Fourth Estate, playing a vital Democratic function, and also that what occurs on its pages is harmless intellectual inquiry

Don't let the bigots pathologize us. Yes dysphoria kills. It sucks. Believe me, I know. But we are NOT our dysphoria and we are owed more than simply being trauma porn. We deserve gender affirming care because we're human beings and bodily autonomy is a human right.

"There is no liberation without Native liberation. There is no queer freedom without Indigenous resurgence. There is no Pride worth marching for if it forgets the people who were here first—and are still being buried first too."

HRT is life sustaining medication for so many people. Shit like this comes with a body count.

If you saw and appreciated Crip Camp, these are the Section 504 regulations that were being fought for. That's what they're trying to undo.

Here, have some genuinely great news: In a unanimous decision, SCOTUS rules in favour of disability protections, and a reasonably low standard of proof for disability-based discrimination.

🧵Over 6,000 doctors, nurses, researchers, and others released an open letter of warning against the administration’s destruction of public health, research, and Medicaid programs. “We are certain this will cost lives.” This is the energy we need right now. Refuse to be silent. Lives depend on it.

They are trying to rescind all regulations that require architecture and construction to conform to Section 504 that prohibits discrimination based on disability (and the ADA). We only have until June 16 to fight this. My friend @thebirdwrites.bsky.social wrote this comment verbage:

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

I forgot this site existed. Ironically my life was better for it. I use Mastodon more than this place or my website or AO3 or Comradery if folks wish to find me there.
