Sharing that @AccessCentered pays monthly land tax to the Chinook Tribe— encouraging other settlers to do the same. #Indigenous leadership is what we need. Join me and help them reach their goal! https://t.co/Vrfld9Y6vi

We get to hold all of our spaces and experiences, while acknowledging that people with disabilities are systematically isolated unlike any other identity (including elders in here as most elders in isolation are disabled).

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

The reason why I feel that the term #Sick & Disabled Queer is so important (Billie Rain) is that so many of us who are #queer & #trans need chosen family to survive, yet those of us with #disabilities can struggle to find this fam due to #ableism.

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

The very places that queer and trans folks gather (like the bar/club, live event, protest) are often inaccessible for those of us with disabilities and illnesses; as dismantling ableism and centering access is yet to reach most radical circles.

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

There is a large sick & disabled community online, & in person depending on where we live. I’m not trying to paint a picture that all people with disabilities have the same experience. There are so many who still can’t access these spaces, including mine.

We are both perfect and imperfect simultaneously. The universe operates in polarity, both oneness and nothingness, teaching us the beauty of liminal space in the divine. We are divine and feeling our divinity is our birthright.

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

The systems in place that maintain power & dominance cause & feed off trauma, while making sure that access to healing remains inaccessible for most. The collective nervous system can’t regulate: we use consumerism, addiction, codependency, & shame to survive

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

For myself, I try to balance the need for me 2 shift/change with accepting myself exactly as I am. I believe we have 3 parts of the soul—that we can allow space for the perfection of the higher-self and our desire to heal our lower-selves.

who navigate stigma, painful symptoms, exile, medical trauma, etc. I am someone who is sick, disabled, and mad. While all these intersect and share experiences; I feel my sick experience is unique and needs validation #healthism

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

I believe we need another term for the system of oppression that excludes & marginalizes chronically ill folks. Just as saneism is not the same as ableism, I believe “healthism” (which exists as a concept already) could describe the experience of those of us with chronic illness

We deserve love. We deserve care. We deserve to be held.

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

Until I started building a relationship with my well ancestors, I had no idea what it felt like to be held. As a sick and disabled person, I have lived in isolation for years. I’m not unique, the history of our country is littered with our exile.

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

It’s not the same as being held in the 3D world nor should it replace human connection, & it’s life saving if it is all we can access. My whiteness and education have allowed me the resource to access this healing, ACM is the way I pay this forward.

[Access-Centered Movement @AccessCentered]

If I didn’t create a container for myself to heal, I was going to die. And as much as I wished otherwise, there was no one else available or willing to do it. So I turned to the spirit world for support, and I now feel held daily by the Earth and Sky.
