Beautiful essay by @soyernotsawyer

"When one half of your body does not mesh with the other half, you feel less at home...Being intertwined with machines does not remove us from our bodies; it keeps us rooted in them."

@KarLeia Our organization was born from social media. Accessible connection and community is vital!!

I’ll say it again:

Disabled people NEED social media. We don’t have the luxury of boycotting and burning down every platform.

Fight for safe spaces and ethical management of these platforms. Please don’t rip away every last one of our online communities.
