Today's our 10th anniversary.
Dreamed up by Ki'tay D. Davidson, @TalilaLewis, @AllieCannington, the call remains-global & urgent as ever:
"...we do not have the luxury to stand by when injustice is blatantly taking place in any form..."
#DisabilitySolidarity#FreePalestine
And this is true of marginalized creators, period. When we draw from our experiences, and we use those experiences to inspire new ways of thinking and relating, it is essential that this labor is respected and cherished. It comes from a very sacred place.
I don't create content online to make money or become internet famous.
I create content because I've lived through a lot as a neurodivergent queer person, learned and researched to better understand, and want to share what I know so others can feel less alone and more empowered.
Tomorrow, @notthreefifths and @talilalewis will come together to share reflections and learnings from campaigns and organizations set up to abolish policing, prisons and institutions with a specific focus on how ableism is a central feature. https://t.co/1A6vzUh6D5
A man I lived with in prison overdosed on heroin. Using resources available to them, prisoners kept him alive with ice cubes and methamphetamine. A thread.
.@democracynow stop only interviewing civil rights attys who have no actual connection/commitment to social justice mvmts; no systemic analysis; scant care for the spirit, heart, mind, health of Black folk.
They've been wreaking havoc on mvmts+our ppl & yall keep platforming 'em
3 days for bereavement is not enough time for school employees to deal with the immediate aftershock of family death, knowing how long it'll take the body to arrive to a funeral home, travel time to attend a funeral, if you have no sick leave hours, trauma, depression.........
leftists who no longer wear masks despite covid steadily disabling and killing folks and especially impacting some of the most marginalized amongst us (i.e. people with disabilities, immunocompromised), i’m honestly curious how you justify your behavior?

"When it comes to carceral systems, when it comes to #MassIncarceration...the system is not broken--it's running the way it's supposed to!
We talk about marginalized, Native, Black & Brown communities, etc. The system is designed to take advantage of these ppl!"

When it comes to situations involving police, some folks start relaxing when they see a signer/interpreter's provided.
Do not relax.
1) "I require an interpreter"
2) "I require a lawyer"
3) "I remain silent."
Do not say/sign/write anything. Sit on your hands.

Organizations doing #PublicHealth + #SocialWork MUST move towards abolition. I'm proud to have contributed (in small part) to this guide for people in our field and in our communities to challenge the prison-industrial complex. #FreeThemAllforPublicHealth
