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.

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to voteBy Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."Read more:

📢 Problem sa BPI Mobile App – Screen Reader Accessibility for Blind People
Hi guys, I’m Aaron, I'm blind, BPI client and credit card holder. For the past 3 weeks (and counting), totally wala akong access sa BPI Mobile App. Hindi ako makalog in, makacheck ng balance, o makabayad ng credit card bill kasi yung app is completely unreadable sa TalkBack (screen reader application naming mga blind at visually impaired users sa Android).
👉 Ano yung screen reader application?
Para siyang voice na nagbabasa ng laman ng screen para magamit naming mga bulag ang phone o computer – from chat, shopping, entertainment, social media hanggang banking.
Kung hindi accessible yung app sa screen reader, hindi namin siya magagamit. kumbaga sa mga nakakakita, blank screen ang nakikita namin.Kung sa mga nakakakita ito nangyari at biglang nag-blank screen yung buong app nila, sigurado ako na aayusin agad-agad ng BPI.
❌ Pero sa amin, 3 weeks na, and counting. Totally no access. Hindi “inconvenient” lang — this is zero access.
At hindi naman puwede na sasabihin lang na “magpa-assist ka na lang”. Banking is confidential, at dapat independent kaming makagamit ng sarili naming accounts. Kung sa sighted clients hindi acceptable na may ibang makikialam sa banking transactions nila, dapat ganoon din ang respeto at trato sa aming mga bulag.
This is not just a tech issue — violation ito ng rights ng PWDs. May mga batas na nagsasabing dapat accessible at nondiscriminatory ang services:
RA 7277 (Magna Carta for Persons with Disability)
RA 9442 (penalizing discrimination)
BP 344 (Accessibility Law)
Plus, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
👉 Responsibility ng BPI na siguraduhin na inclusive at accessible ang banking services nila. Hindi puwedeng ma-exclude ang PWD clients.
🔴 Kaya I’m calling on BPI:
1. Ayusin agad ang issue at gawing screen reader–friendly ulit ang mobile app.
2. Maglabas ng malinaw na statement at timeline kung kailan maaayos ang problem sa access.
3. and hopefully, mag-commit na lahat ng future updates ay dumadaan sa accessibility testing.
⚖️ At nananawagan din ako sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP): bilang regulator ng mga bangko, dapat ninyo itong aksyunan at siguruhin na ang lahat ng financial institutions ay sumusunod sa accessibility at nondiscrimination laws. Hindi puwedeng iwan sa ere ang PWD clients.
💡 Accessibility is not a favor. Karapatan namin ito.
👉 Kung naniniwala ka sa equal rights ng PWDs, specially for blind people, at sigurado akong may kilala kang PWD friend o family member, please gawin mo ito para sa amin—share niyo itong post para makita ng BPI at BSP na dapat na itong aksyunan.

The #UnitedNations is not ignoring the treatment of #Disabled folk in UK. On 7.7.25 they sent a letter to #UKGov reminding the government of previous and ongoing serious failings to ensure #DisabilityRights and to protect people with #disabilities.
The link is to a downloadable document replete with quotations from previous communications with UKGov highlighting their heinous breaches of #UNCRPD.

A great analysis of why liberal socialist universality (anti-woke left) will not liberate us, flattens the class war, undermines workers' rights, hampers solidarity, and, last but not least, is now also a footsoldier of fascism.

Looking for a cure?
#LizCarr has stepped away from acting to advocate against the legalization of assisted suicide. Her latest #documentary, "Better Off Dead?", explores the implications of such laws, focusing on how they endanger disabled individuals.
Travelling to Canada, Carr investigates the effects of permissive assisted suicide laws. There not only the terminally ill can opt for a medically assisted death. This practice is even extended to those facing social deprivation, presenting a grave ethical dilemma.
In Britain, Carr meets with staunch opponents, including Baroness Jane Campbell, who shares a personal story of having a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order placed on her without consent.

Understanding #DisabilityInclusion & #Ableism.
#PeopleWithDisabilities are integral parts of our world & community, yet they often face #inaccessible or #unwelcoming spaces online. The word #disability itself is a limiting term, as it refers to an immense spectrum of experiences. #Disabilities can affect a person’s auditory, cognitive, neurological, linguistic, visual, emotional or physical abilities moving through the world, both online & offline.

“The #UK signed the #disabilities convention in 2009, but it has still not been incorporated into British law.
In 2016, an inquiry by the #UN's Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#UNCRPD) found that the UK was in breach of three of the Convention's articles
The same inquiry found that welfare reforms introduced since 2010 had "adversely" affected #disabled people.”#DisabilityRights #DisabilityDiscrimination #DisabilityHate #DisabilityDeath

#UK still officially failing #disabled folk, that is 1:5 Brits.
“The [#UN] Committee [#UNCRPD] finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination…”

#Census #CensusBureau #Disability #Inclusion #Policy #Resources #DisabilityRights -
"By reopening its consideration of the ACS disability questions, the Census Bureau can improve its current estimate, which consistently excludes millions of disabled Americans. Any changes to the disability questions should seek to capture a more inclusive group of people with disabilities by expanding, rather than contracting, our current definition to better reflect reality."

A #CradleCatholic. As a wee lad, I did all the stuff - Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. I was born here all my life. When I was around four years old, the church kicked out my mom and, by extension, my family. An #ExcludedCatholic? I explored other practices and faiths, #meditation, #yoga, #Buddhism, and all the things. I wanted to not convert to a religion or practice that I had not been born to or wasn't otherwise ancestrally connected. A deep dive into Protestant fellowships lead to immersion into the #EarlyChurch Fathers and early #ChurchHistory. Entering the #OrthodoxChurch, I lived in several monasteries and wandered around the US like the guy in Way of a Pilgrim. I was ultimately drawn to #Theosis and the #PrayerOfTheHeart, sometimes called the #JesusPrayer. Long story short, decades later, a pandemic, and a few ends of the world, here I am. The #2024Election US has me wondering about US Christianities that support social actions and movements that contradict the teachings of Jesus. Shouldn't Christ's Gospel teachings be central?

I am thrilled to share with you all a beautiful sculpture made by my dear friend Rita. The piece is a bust of me, and I'm honored that she chose to celebrate my unique form despite my physical limitations due to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. It reminds me that my beauty and value are not defined by societal norms or physical ability, but by the wonder and complexity of the human form. As a protagonist in the film "Touch Me Not" by Adina Pintilie, I've become passionate about the importance of disability empowerment and inclusion, and this sculpture is a powerful representation of that. Thank you, Rita, for capturing the themes of intimacy and sexuality with such grace and beauty. I hope this work inspires others to embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms. #sculpture #disabilityempowerment #bodypositivity #diversityandinclusion #cathedralofthebody
