From my conversation on the Green Dreamer Podcast. Listen to the whole conversation wherever you get your podcasts. Solidarity not charity! You can find much more about this in my book Mutual Aid which is free on the Anarchist Library. I just wrote an updated edition that is coming out March 31.

had another night without sleep. the usual ten hours of blaming myself ensued. several hours were also spent feeling like the extractor fan (permanently on) was slowly crushing me. ...at 8am I realised I could turn it off at the breaker. I burst into tears from relief.

This is really what I want people to appreciate. I get that it feels good to be like "well that person's a pedophile too!" But in many cases they weren't. They were just people who didn't think it was a big deal. That's terrible in its own particular way.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Following an article by @novaramedia.com we have now shared part one of the timeline of Oxford Health's installation of Oxevision. The report outlines how the Trust invested millions in a technology its patients described as 'creepy', 'unsafe' and 'spying'

📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender. doi.org/10.1111/tran... The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

"protective silences are easily confused with those imposed by stigma...‘If I don’t talk about my diagnosis...it’s not because I’m ashamed. It’s because I know not everyone deserves to access that part of me.’" Such a good piece from @ddegerman.bsky.social psyche.co/ideas/for-so... #bipolar

😭 got accepted to speak at a Mad studies conference that I was so so hopeful I would get. it's in person and that is *terrifying* but I burst into tears when I opened the email.

My full PhD thesis on disabled people's encounters with strangers in accessible #BlueBadge parking spaces is now publicly available: etheses.bham.ac.uk/id/eprint/17... TLDR? Here's the summary report instead: drive.google.com/file/d/1wmfK... #DisabilitySky #DisabilityStudies

I don't know who needs to hear this, but teachers (ECE- graduate school) are fucking exhausted right now and have to keep teaching during *points to world*. It's rough normally, it's been extra rough for years, and right now it's basically boss levels rough. Don't beat yourself up, fellow educators.

I’ll say it again & again. As more people are waking up to the connection between the Epstein files & the long history of slavery, genocide, patriarchy, racism, all other forms of oppression…learn from the survivors who have lived this reality.

I'm sorry to be sharing this again but ongoing illness has made things extremely difficult for me financially. I'm drowning in everything right now and struggling a lot to even make rent. Please, anything helps, even if it's just a repost. Thank you 💜

caved in and finally started watching Heated Rivalry

For #BlackHistoryMonth we're offering 40% OFF Haymarket Books on the Struggle for Black Liberation

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution 2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party Protecting women and children, is it?

this is who runs this account

/rant i don't think healthy people realize how much grief, rage, loneliness, and horror mingle in the hearts of the disabled. the physical and mental suffering is hardly understood, but the pain goes so much deeper than that. feeling invisible, and trapped, and misunderstood, and trampled on.

love the autistic urge to just keep explaining

Solidarity with every single person participating in today’s general strike against ICE’s terror campaign. You’re changing the world ✊🏽❤️

<waves to all my BIPOC TTRPG designers> Hello! You may think you are feeling impostor syndrome, but did you stop to consider it may actually be a reaction to being silently (or loudly ) invalidated in society and in the TTRPG community? They feel similar, but they arent the same thing.

Doing what you need to do in order to survive a government that wants you dead & forgotten IS resistance. I know I’m not the only disabled and/or chronically ill person struggling with not “doing enough”. You being here, living your life despite their eugenic wishes, is enough. You are enough. 💜

just a quick note that I'm not streaming today & my weekly song video will go up tomorrow, in solidarity with the general strike in the US (as whilst I'm not in the US, the platforms I use for this are US-owned).

me: I am exhausted after the medical stuff, I will rest for the remainder of today. reader, I made the error of putting on the Variety interview with Matt and Brennan and now I'm furiously taking notes because the fuckers mentioned play and risk, the two things my TTRPG thesis chapter is about.

just got a referral to the ME/CFS clinic - a referral I hadn't even thought to ask for because I didn't think anyone would bother taking my increased fatigue seriously (given my existing fibro diagnosis & the MH diagnoses on my record). I am so grateful for the doctors I have right now, holy shit.

"Tell me why we shouldn’t kill you now. The Conclave is destroyed. Everyone who attended is dead. Except for you."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

recs wanted! looking for articles/research about Mad and neurodivergent joy. essentially wanting to see where the idea of queer joy/gender euphoria has been extended to Mad/neurodivergent people. bonus points if it deals with the idea of play at all. all formats welcome, and please do share <3

Posting this as the VERIFIED GoFundMe for Keith Porter Jr. Thank you, @gotmyniinaa.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Some advice for protesting while autistic 1. Prepare in advance Watch footage you find so you get an idea of what's going on and things you might have to deal with. Learn who the organizers are & what the goals are. Learn what the strategies are. Talk them through with your buddy. Prepare mentally.

Abolish ICE. Abolish the border. Abolish the police. A better world is possible if we fight for it.

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

Another world is possible if we fight for it.

Trans people and loved ones - these are going FAST! If you know any trans organisations/groups/individuals that would be interested, could you let them know ASAP so that they don't miss out? Thank you so much!

PS WE ARE IN THE RED AGAIN AND WE KNOW EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING BUT WE ARE STILL HERE AND KNOW SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS, SO IF YOU WANNA DONATE, HIT THE CHUFFED chuffed.org/project/crip... we gotta reimb people particularly in the UK and Canada but any currency works.

Using disabled people as cover is a classic move in a wide variety of realms: Don't fall for it! (Also ftr I have sensory sensitivity & find loud sustained noises stressful but I also live in a society & care about my neighbors. There ways to manage that don't require suppressing community care.)

just ordered my own patch kit - I've wanted to turn my craft skills to activism for a while and this is a beautiful way to do it. UK friends, join in, or help support the project with funds!

I guess I just find it so hard to understand all those people who are posting “this is not America” over these last few weeks. This is very much America. It’s the same State violence that killed Elijah and Eric and Breonna and Tamir and then vilified their image so cruelly. It has always been this.

And little Tamir Rice and his beautiful smile used to light up the classroom for both his teachers and his friends. He loved drawing and football and basketball. He was twelve, a child and the State and the media tried to portray him as “violent”. The rage I still feel about this.

And I think about the fact that Breonna Taylor was an emergency room technician which means she spent her days and nights helping other people hold onto their lives. And how hard the State fought to protect those who had murdered her.

And I think about Eric Garner’s last words so often, I have this beautiful poem by Ross Gay memorised:

I think about Elijah McClain a lot. How he was a sweet, lovely young soul who used to play the violin for stray cats. How brutally his young life ended and how the State sent riot police to interrupt the violin vigil in his name. The cruelty was always the point.

Your heart may be heavy today; mine is. Take a breath, mourn, grieve. Then continue, seek community, mutual aid. Organize. Create: we need your art, stories, music, dance, games, now more than ever, not only to help recharge for the long fight ahead, but to remind us all of what we fight for.

“THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY DOING THE WORK AND HAVE BEEN DOING IT A LONG TIME” Here’s how to find some of them:

No preview sucks so here is the post with alt text.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

MnNEAT has created these communication tools to help nonspeakers, or those who may lose speech due to stress, invoke their rights if they are stopped by ICE. As always, please be very careful when taking something out of a bag or wallet in front of police or ICE. mnneat.wixstudio.com/mnneat/safet...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

this evening I've been alternating between writing fanfic and helping gather/relay information about mutual aid and protest in the US (MN especially). it's going to feel silly to seek joy amidst the chaos, but we must. we must hold onto that joy and play and love. it is how we will survive.
