CW: Ableism, Reference to eugenics
@akamran
As a person with an “invisible” disability, who experienced how differently people treat you, when this disability becomes visible, as a German person who did a deep dive into my countries history and understood that eugenics has not only been one of the key features of fascism, but it still prevalent in our society, as a person who is very much into disability justice, I have so many thoughts on this perspective. I might write about that in a separate post and break it down to this.Disabled people don’t owe anybody the disclosure of their disability.
Certain glasses are criticized, because they can be used for purposes that are a violation of privacy. The disability of a person is a very private information, the disclosure can be a safety issue. Disclosing your disability can make you a target for people with bad intentions and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

@plaguepoems As I warn: it includes underlying conditions you don’t (yet?) know about
And I genuinely, deeply, fervently hope they never become severe enough that you need to.
(But if they do/are, know there’s a lot more of us than you think, and who want to look out for each other. :HeartDisability: #disabilityJustice )

#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;

Kommunalpolitik bedeutet für mich: Ressourcen dorthin bringen, wo echte Solidarität gelebt wird.
Deshalb gebe ich meine Aufwandsentschädigung aus dem Bezirksausschuss monatlich an Initiativen weiter, deren unermüdlichen Einsatz ich von Herzen schätze.🔽

CW: CW: mental illness stigma, ableist language, psychiatric slurs
Because I also see people on our side doing this:
Can we please stop using mental illness and adjacent medical conditions as slurs, insults, and accusations against people we dislike?
Calling someone “crazy,” “psychotic,” “autistic,” “schizo,” or whatever the flavour of the day happens to be doesn’t make your argument stronger. It just turns somebody else’s medical condition into a weapon.
People with mental illnesses, neurodivergencies, and other conditions (people like you and me!) don’t deserve to see their lives and diagnoses casually dragged into the mud just because somebody is being awful.
You can call someone cruel. You can call them dishonest. You can call them bigoted, hateful, abusive, manipulative, or simply an absolute fucking nightmare.
There are plenty of words available.
Please choose better ones.Being compassionate and fighting fascism are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I rather think we should be capable of both.

I was once engaged to a self-proclaimed communist manchild who made me scream my feelings just to be heard and then called me abusive. He also had a panic attack one time because I held him accountable for his failures to be present in the relationship. I remember he also often used his neurodivergence as an excuse. We're both AuDHD. He's just never been socialised with the same expectations and social standards as women have. He's been outsourcing emotional labour to the women in his life: his mum, his sister, and me back then. So that's just his male privilege, not his neurodivergence. I'm glad he's been deported back to America. Oh, he's an American who never deconstructed his orientalism and colonial gaze, overstaying his welcome here in Indonesia. There are levels of men's fvckeries that are hiding behind leftist and disability justice language and are proof that sexuality isn't a choice. Because what do you mean I still like men? Tf.
Men are the first victims and the ultimate perpetrators of patriarchy. If they haven't dismantled that shit within themselves, they should steer clear of women. Just saying.
Don't argue with me, argue with your dads.#misogyny @autistics @actuallyadhd #personalispolitical #politics #patriarchy #neurodivergence #disability #DisabilityJustice

So in Denmark, to get a card to prove that I'm disabled, I have to pay a total of 950 DKK!
750 DKK for a doctor to write an attestation that "Yes, she's disabled", and a 200 DKK admin fee for the card itself.
And then every third year (or less), I have to pay the admin fee again to renew, and if my conditions are not deemed permanent enough, I'll have to pay for another attestation from the doctor, that I'm still disabled.
And there is no way to get this expense covered by insurance or benefits.
We may have a social safety net, and single payer healthcare system, but if you're disabled, you're often just left paying out of pocket.

How's your mental health these days?
As the U.S. regime is defunding mental health services, there are people who are stepping up.
This week on the @rootschangepodcast I am so happy to chat with Ashley Williams from Mind the Movement.
At a moment when organizations are being defunded and activists are in crisis, mental health is a key issue to uplift across our organizations and movement.

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.

RE: https://mutualaidspace.org/118539-2/
🌟Disabled people exist🌟 and it's really expensive to exist as a disabled person jfc. You know how long I have gone without meds in favour of having the ✨️luxury✨️ of eating something at all? How far into 2026 are we right now? That's how long I have gone without meds.

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:

Today I’m in a celebratory mood. On one hand, it’s Pride weekend in Berlin, and I’m on my way to the Internationalist Queer Pride march, a valued alternative to the commercialized and pinkwashing-ridden CSD. On the other, all 6 episodes of the first season of my #ActuallyAutistic podcast The Autistic Rant Hour are now online and available to binge.
Being a queer and disability activist doesn’t stop at making sure we have the right to change our names and change or delete our gender markers, to love whomever we choose or have the right to self-determination along with needed support and accessibility measures.
It also means standing up for the rights of people in intersecting struggles: migrant rights, asylum rights, worker rights, bodily autonomy, the right to live free of oppression, eugenics and apartheid, and the right to live at all, in times where folks are hunted down, locked up, denied life-saving medical care, ethnically cleansed and genocided, in more countries than anyone would have believed would still be the case in the 21st century.My guest on the closing episode of Season 1, Tal’y Wozner (she/her), is the kind of person who understands that and who has always been part of this kind of struggle, resisting intersectionally and challenging preconceptions, both outside and inside queer spaces and discourse. This is why it was such a pleasure and a privilege to have her on the show, even though she isn’t autistic (how dare she!). Tune in to hear us discuss the different challenges of accessing places and services: I from the autistic perspective, and she from the mobility perspective. Together we not only explain the challenges, but also dig into their systemic reasons and reach some conclusions about the meaning of community and how disabled people can be there for each other to make going places more accessible than it, infuriatingly, is.

‘Substance use does not exist in a vacuum a vacuum; it is often intertwined with mental health, poverty, homelessness, discrimination and systemic barriers in accessing healthcare and other living supports. Many people with disabilities who may also live with addiction experience these realities simultaneously. To reduce their lived experience to a dismissive stereotype is not only inaccurate, it is profoundly offensive’ https://disabilityalliancebc.org/disability-alliance-bc-calls-on-mla-tara-armstrong-to-resign-following-harmful-and-misleading-comments-about-people-with-disabilities/

Our family knows from multiple experience how bad PIP is; not the support (although the level is getting worrying by attrition) so much as the injustices of administration and the hostile bureaucracy predicated on popular tropes demonising the victims of biological errors and misfortunate events (most of whom rely on PIP to enable them to enjoy the dignity of work and participation in society).
A Government review, part one, just 'landed'. The review is being published in two halves. This week's bit just admits the system is broken. The real decisions - what actually changes - land in the autumn. That gap between admitting a problem and fixing it is exactly where pressure works. Governments write reports all the time. They only change policy when enough of us are watching.
Petitions at least let them know we are. Add your name:

Many of the disability activists who got the most coverage before 2020 were white. But Black and brown disability activists have been there all along.
There's a site highlighting some of the work of these disability rights and disability justice activists.
