Please, as mask bans continue to accelerate, we need everyone to wear N95 masks in all public settings, indoors, outdoors, in photos.

I am begging you to put disabled kids survival first. My child cannot mask due to an upper airway restriction, unrepairable open palate and other health complications. We have been homebound for most of their 10 years of life.

It is heartbreaking to witness the forced isolation, ostracism, ableist abuse, and celebration of eugenics culture from the left. We need everyone to be fighting for permanent N95 mask mandates in all medical facilities. #ableism #AntiAbleism #MedicalIndustrialComplex #disabled #maskbans #eugenics

"The sacrifice of bodies for the capitalist project was always going to catch up to us all eventually.

We were always in the line for the meat grinder, it’s just that others were first.

Safety, if you were ever lucky enough to feel it, was an illusion.

No one is safe until everyone is safe."

"it’s [...] no surprise that societies built on supremacist foundations and eugenicist tales of the strong conquering the weak are unable to look honestly at physical, bodily deterioration.
It’s no surprise that ableist societies are disabling themselves.
A genocidal mindset is coming home to roost.
The truth is our relative privilege as citizens of the imperial core could only ever last so long.
Our comfort and safety has always been traded off against out-groups and the exploited, both historically and in the present."

For our third zine we would like to critically examine some positive examples of community organizing that happened during the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic.

We would like to ask what went well, what could be improved, also how #CommunalCare and #MutualAid projects can scale and how we can turn them into a #PrefigurativePractice to help us get ready for any upcoming crisis and/or pandemic.

If this interests you, please join us to work on this zine.

If you know of interesting projects to examine, please let us know.

#SafeSpace #RadicalCare #AntiAbleism #Anarchism #CovidIsNotOver #Intersectionality

In case you missed our little announcement on Sunday, please follow the newly formed intersectional anarchist radical communal care collective @mitosiscollective! Founded by some of us who split from our original "Radical Communal Care" group, our priority is caring for each other, for the planet, for other beings. This care is both our goal and a means to an end to create a more just world, that is safe for everyone. In a world with violent capitalist politics, war, an ongoing pandemic and on the brink of a climate catastrophe, caring for one another is a radical act. It is both the smallest and the biggest thing that we can do right now, every day. We recognise how the violent hierarchical systems we were raised in can impact our actions, and want to learn and unlearn together. We strive to create an environment in which we can feel safe to do so. We extend empathy to others and to ourselves, try our best to understand each other and celebrate our differences. Our intersectional values lead us to oppose all forms of oppression and injustice, including but not limited to ableism, speciesism, racism, queerphobia. We advocate for wearing masks, cleaning the air, accessibility, inclusion. #SafeSpace #RadicalCare #AntiAbleism #anarchism #CovidIsNotOver

Solidarity with everyone who still wears a mask. Solidarity with everyone who has had friends and family turn their backs on them for being covid cautious. Solidarity with everyone who has Long-Covid and does all they can to make sure no-one else has to live through the daily difficulties we do. Solidarity to everyone fighting against ableism, eugenics, Social Darwinism and health supremacy. Solidarity to everyone who gets shouted at and abused for wearing a mask. Solidarity to everyone who keeps going despite the overwhelming hegemonic narrative that what we are living through is 'normal'. Solidarity to everyone sharing science and facts about how covid spreads and the dangers of covid. Solidarity with you.

#RadicalCare #AntiAbleism #CovidIsNotOver #Intro #introduction

We are still living in a pandemic that has been and still is a mass disabling event as more and more people are disabled with Long-Covid. These attacks on disabled people are part of the movement away from acknowledging the reality of the pandemic and its consequences and instead bringing in policy that will make it harder for disabled people to have limited financial support to not work. It is also part of divide and rule tactics where disabled people are once again - like after the 2008 bank bailouts and subsequent ideological austerity policies - blamed for the political difficulties the government is experiencing, especially in the run up to a general election, alongside importantly trying to direct anger away from the injustice and inequalities central to late capitalism.

#AutumnStatement #Disability #AntiAbleism #Ableism #DisabilityRights #Covid #Pandemic #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid #NotRecovered

Please read and share this letter with your comrades alongside with groups, events and spaces you are part of. Many people and groups involved in radical organising have sadly surrendered to the capitalist, eugenics and ableist narrative - and thus practices - that pretends there isn't an ongoing pandemic, thus ignoring how Covid is still killing people alongside being a mass disabling event. This letter hopes to help change this and amplify voices and experiences that have sadly been marginalised and ignored, whilst giving practical advice regarding Covid safety for organising, spaces and events.

"We need to try and create the kind of events, spaces and groups that can serve as models for a future, better, world. This is what prefigurative praxis looks like. It is the work we need to do."

And here it is, an #intropost in which I list as many hashbrowns as possible! Incoming hashbrowns!

I’m pretty sure I’m on the planet to help people, and right now I’m pretty sure the greatest help to us all lies in overthrowing oppressive systems. Trying to live #antifascism, #antiracism / #AntiRacist, #bodyjustice / #antifatphobia, #AntiAbleism / #antiableist, pro #lbgtqai, #landback ideas and practices, and to engage in #interdependence through #mutualaid, #community, individual irl relationships, and #directaction . Since I am #disabled with #autoimmune bullshit (#spondy, #spondyloarthritis , and #lupus / #borderlinelupus) I am very interested in #ArtAction , #artactivism, and #musicactivism (that I can do from home.)

My background is in #finearts and I love every single #crafting / #craft / #maker activity out there. Right now I’m obsessed with #procreate and #sewing. I’m also a layperson #herbalist and #gardener.

I have learned that I am happiest as a #catparent with exactly #4cats in the house (which I currently have.)

I’m pretty sure identity is super fluid, so it feels funny putting up labels, but I am also #demisexual, #witchy, #neurodivergent, #homebody. I love #tea, #starwars, #surrealism and #dadaism, and my excellent partner. I have a high tolerance for #weird.

So there ya go.
