The best way I can explain the difference btwn Disability Rights and Disability Justice is thus:
Disability rights wants to build ramps at Mt. Rushmore.
Disability Justice want to return the sacred Tunkasila Sakpe Paha to the Lakota.
We are not always entitled to access.
@simian_warthog @ProudBulba Aww look at the sad man with his white nihilism and false paternalism. Go listen to any of the hundreds of indigenous voices or even western scientists about necessary societal action, or even the individual mandate work you could be doing instead of spreading shit on twitter 🙄
In case you’re not following Native news, a hotel owner in South Dakota banned Native Americans from staying at her hotel last week, as in, March 2022, the 21st Century. She said she couldn’t tell the “nice ones from the bad ones.” This was the community’s response.
Why yes, I would love to risk my immunocompromised ass for eight hours a day helping children who shouldn't be forced through school right now navigate our broken education system that emphasizes conformity, not learning, for less a day than even an hour of my time is worth.

Since 2000, we’ve had a safe, simple way to do our abortions at home with pills, but anti-abortion politicians make them hard to get, imposing outdated regulations and criminalizing people who use them. Get educated about the power of abortion pills.

Applying for jobs is so fucking traumatizing. It was the first thing that radicalized me. This time around it's giving me stress seizures and cold rages, and making it so I can't sleep. The interview process, if I even get one, will doubtlessly be worse.
@asexualACES@lilririah I spent nearly three years in a failing marriage and am restructuring my entire life because I finally understood "queerplatonic" and that it was actually what me and my partner wanted from the start, before societal pressure came in. Representation matters.
@novatjerneld Feeling like shit is feeling sick. Feeling brain sick maybe, but you wouldn't go in with an aneurysm or migraine. Neurochemistry being off is the same thing. Take the time.
I'm noticing many indoor & enclosed events happening. It's heartbreaking. Even in #Queer, Transgender, Politically radical #BIPOC spaces.
Make things virtual. This pandemic isn't over. Stay home.
Prioritizing abled & forgetting access of #Disabled/Sick people isn't ok at all.
Almost everyone I know is in climate denial
It’s a difficult thing to accept as true how horrific this situation is and how much work it will take to survive
I fully expect my death to be brought on by the climate crisis
I have no expectation of reaching old age
