#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

too many U.S. Americans still believe in the Pro Bono Fairy who leaves a free attorney under the pillows of those who really really deserve it. This is not harmless. #disabilityjustice #poverty #injustice #marginalization #SocialAtomization #Neoliberalindividualism #justworldfallacy

My new video essay breaks down compulsory able-bodiedness, fascist rhetoric around "deformity," and why disability is actually a vital source of human diversity and innovation.

2026-7-16 There is no division between self and otherI drew this after my recent art workshop in partnership with ME Action! I felt so much connection and awe (also, exhaustion and brain fried ofc).
Thank you everyone who participated in the workshop or helped make it happen in any way. It was truly magic.
P.S. I have art in an art exhibition about art for therapy & health, and I think the exhibit is really incredibly curated. I can’t believe 21 views of long covid received an honorable mention amongst so many phenomenal artists’ & powerful pieces!
You can check out the virtual gallery here:

Not enough people understand narcissism.
Trump’s behavior is classic narcissistic, addict behavior. He’s actually very predictable.
It’s all about Trump.
It’s all about survival.
It’s all about getting to the next day.

Mutual Aid Checkpoint Returns!
WRZKY's weekly mutual aid checkpoint Insha'Allah will be back very soon -
This account, this corner of the fediverse, has become one of the places I let those questions be noisy in public. What does healing mean when the conditions that harmed you are not gone, only rearranged into more respectable shapes? What actually happens inside a counselling relationship when disability or neurodivergence is present but unnamed, or misnamed, or politely ignored? How do we begin to notice the ways power and unspoken norms travel through even the most well-intentioned helping professions? How do we hold culture as something we are constantly creating and being created by, something we may need to grieve and interrogate and occasionally celebrate, often all at once, sometimes in the space of a single conversation?
I keep circling back to the interior labour of this work. The slow, repetitive practice of building emotional regulation when your nervous system's default setting is red alert. The awkwardness of learning self-compassion when sharp self-criticism has been your most reliable survival tool. The moments that feel like failure because you find yourself reacting in an old way, when in reality this is precisely how recovery moves, looping back on itself, revisiting old ground with slightly different eyes. The way trauma and joy can sit shoulder to shoulder in the same hour, the same therapy session, the same breath, and how unnerving and holy that can feel.
Rauch and Ansari suggest that silence can be deliberate and strategic, a form of self-regulation rather than withdrawal, a boundary rather than an absence. I think about this in relation to the freeze response, to the moments in my own history when going quiet was not giving up but holding on. The body stills because there are no safe words yet. Sometimes the silence is the story. And learning to hear it as such, to receive it without rushing to fill or fix it, is one of the things I am still practising, in music and in therapy and in the ordinary, unglamorous dailiness of trying to stay present in a life that sometimes arrives all at once.
I am not arriving anywhere with a finished theory of how any of this is supposed to work. I am coming, again and again, with fragments and questions and a stubborn intention to tell the truth as I understand it in the moment I am writing. That truth is often partial, often shifting. My understanding of myself, of trauma, of disability, of care, keeps moving, and I want it to. I would rather be inconsistent and alive to new information than seamless and rigidly wrong.
If you are still reading, you are already participating in something I care about. A space that treats complexity as ordinary rather than excessive. Where being too much is not an accusation but raw material. Where intense feeling and rigorous thought are both welcome at the same table. Where healing is not a linear journey toward a fixed destination but something more like learning to live inside unresolved chords without pretending they have resolved. Where music is both metaphor and method, both a way of speaking about change and a way of practising it in the body.
True silence does not exist. What we call silence is simply what we have not yet learned to hear. The fullness of life in quieter tones. The heartbeat of thought. The whispered rhythm of resilience. The steady murmur of healing is underway. And when we learn to tune into the music between the notes and into the truth held in breath, we do more than survive. We begin to sing again. This time, in a voice that is entirely our own.
I am not here to introduce myself so much as to keep turning up alongside you. To keep writing from the middle of things, not only from the rare polished moments that look good in hindsight. To keep noticing the small, ordinary, unglamorous ways humans find their way back to themselves, even inside systems that were never set up with them in mind. If any of these threads brush against something in your own story, then you are part of the imagined audience I write towards. And maybe, in a slow, imperfect, occasionally dissonant way, part of the choir that is still learning how to hear itself.

Wenn Menschen wie ich politisch Stellung beziehen, kommt sofort der immer gleiche alte ableistische Reflex: Wir seien "missbraucht", "vorgeschoben" oder "manipuliert". Dahinter steckt kein Zufall, es ist eine Strategie.⬇️

I’ve been carrying a voluntary mutual aid infrastructure project (Mutual Aid Hub) while using my platforms to push anti-imperial analysis and sustain it through whatever freelance work my disability allows. But that model has become unsustainable. For health reasons, I’ve shifted entirely to developing the Hub and offering my take when my nervous system allows.
Full transparency and the new support structure are here:

If you’ve joined me at Disabled Ginger - thank you! I can’t describe what it means to me that so many of you want to join the community I’m trying to build.
Currently writing about the mess that was last night. The mess that IS our ongoing battle for Covid awareness and disability justice. What we can do (start with wearing a mask), how we grieve and unite to fight back.
I try not to write from a place of anger - but five years of being treated as expendable can make you angry. Five years of having people on both sides of the political spectrum toss you to the wayside, ignore your warnings and drop their makes (literally and figuratively)… it leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
So tonight I try and rest - and tomorrow the article comes out and we get back in the fight.

Wow! We just cannot express how grateful we are to everybody at @lucyparsonscent for organizing #LiberationSoup. This was an incredibly well-organized pamphlet and event that not only got a bunch of amazing orgs in one room, but also allowed us to connect with so many great folks in our community to talk about the state of houselessness in Boston since Wu’s vicious attack on Atkinson St. It was also incredible to see past Warm Up volunteers leading new groups in this area! If you reached out to us, we have a whole bunch of messages and we will be getting back to you all as soon as possible. #WarmUpBoston #LiberationSoup #Cambridge #CommunityDefense #HarmReduction #Indigeneity #ClimateJustice #Abolition #TenetUnions #AntiWar #ImmigrationJustice #MutualAid #OrganizedLabor #BlackLiberation #QueerPower #TransPower #DisabilityJustice #Activism #BostonActivism

Alice Wong, @SFDirewolf on Twitter and founder/director of the Disability Visibility Project, needs help. Systems that should work for all of us are broken, hence the need. Can you give? I did.

International Women’s Day Hero of Invisible Disability Rights – Elaine Wilson:
In celebration of International Women's Day, OutOfExile_IDR honors Elaine Wilson, champion of invisible disability rights and the Olmstead Act. It seems germane, as March is also Developmental Disabilities Month.
During Martin Luther King week, I posted about Lois Curtis, a champion for Invisible Disability Rights (link below). Lois, togather with another woman, Elaine Wilson, fought all the way to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) for the right to live in the community, rather than being institutionalized. Fighting courageously for their freedom, they won the right to freedom for all people with invisible disabilities. The case is often refered to as the “Brown v. Board of Education” for people with (Invisible) disabilities.
Excerpt below & image of Elaine from:
https://www.olmsteadrights.org/iamolmstead/history/[“Elaine Wilson became seriously ill when she was one years old. She was hospitalized with a raging fever and it was unclear whether she would survive... When the fever finally broke and Elaine was …sent home, ….Elaine had lost some of her early motor function abilities, such as crawling or even sitting up by herself. The doctors assured Elaine's mother that (it) was only a lingering effect of the illness…. Elaine eventually did recover, but very slowly”.[]
In school, Elaine lagged behind other students having difficulties with focus and learning , eventually being diagnosed with an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) attributed to the prolonged high fever as an infant. Likley, this was the correct diagnosis.
She was reevaluated as a teen upon enrollment at “Gracewood State School and Hospitol” in Georgia. There, she was diagnosed with an ableist slur containing the “R" word, once used in reference to PEOPLE living with Down Syndrome. Providers believed the only recourse was institutionalization. (I am bitting my tongue and holding back my opinions on the lot of it.)
She would spend about a decade living in institutions (State hospitals) against her will. Following that, in the 1980s, she would be “ping-ponged" from care homes to hospitals, back and forth for nearly two decades of her life.
“When I was in an institution, I didn't like myself," Elaine says. "I was trapped. . . . I had no hope. I thought, Oh God, Oh God - When am I ever going to leave here?"
Another hero deserving mention on IWD is Sue Jamieson, the Atlanta Legal Aid Society Attorney who brought the case. Sue and Lois Curtis were joined by co-plaintiff Elaine Wilson, to blaze the path of freedom for countless individuals with disabilities in their wake.
After more than 30 years and 36 psychiatric institutions, at times living homelessness and in varous “care homes", Elaine along with Lois Curtis, were victorious and finally free.
The 1997 ruling by Senior U.S. District Judge Marvin H. Shoob said that “… denying the women a community-based life amounted to segregation of people covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act.” Judge Shoob later remarked “They were both so articulate” in regard to the testimony of Elaine Wilson and Lois Curitis.
Elaine passed in 2004 at the age of 53 but, will be forever remembered as a Disability Rights Legend for her resilience, strength and courage. As part of her testimony, she told the court: “When I was in an institution, I felt like I was in a little box and there was no way out”.
Thanks to Elaine Wilson and Lois Curtis, people with invisible disabilities are afforded the right to live in freedom at home, instead of confinement in a “box", cage or institution, merely because of a health issue. Thanks and honor to Elaine, Lois and Sue on this International Women’s Day.

CW: Call for Survey Participation on Assistive Technology
Researchers at Purdue University are studying how disability and technology policy can change to make life better for people who use adaptive equipment and assistive technology.
If you use any of the following:
• Mobility equipment like wheelchairs, scooters, canes, walkers, prosthetic limbs, and more
• Dexterity equipment like hooks, grabbers, or other specialized manual tools
• Communication equipment like a talker or other AAC Device
• Assistive Software like Screen Readers, voice over, or eye trackers
• Adaptive computer interfaces like specialized keyboards, mice, buttons, or switches
• Or other similar devicesYou are invited to participate in our study “Adaptive and Assistive Technology Users, Developers, and Technology Policy”, Purdue IRB 2022-759.
Survey link: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eYjuUSH5moUOuQS
This survey of your experiences will take 10 to 20 minutes of your time and will help us transform technology policy to improve quality of life for Americans with disabilities.
