  1. It’s wonderful to have the story told first hand from the four students who led the protest. Each were very different characters. But you see their passion as if it all happened just yesterday.

    What amazes and troubles me as a British person who is ‘hard of hearing’ and a kid growing up in the 80’s, I knew nothing of this amazing story in #DisabledRights history until tonight.

    And why is #Gallaudet still the only #Deaf university in the world?

  2. When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.

    Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.

    Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.

  7. Bonjour à toustes !

    Un de mes mécènes sur #Patreon qui à pris l'abonnement Arbre Vénérable, m'a passé commande de cette illustration d'#autodéfensesanitaire.

    On a vu pas mal de sportif'ves des JO être masquées, voir certain'es ont dû même annuler leur venue pour cause de covid. C'est le moment idéal pour rappeler que le covid n'a toujours pas disparu (malheureusement) et que plus vous le contractez, plus vous avez de chance d'attraper un covid long.

    Dans mon cas, comme je suis à risque (maladie de Crohn) et sous traitement immuno- suppresseur, je ne sors jamais sans. Même en extérieur, surtout quand il y a foule, et je me fais vacciner tous les 3 mois. Et vu la dangerosité de cette maladie, c'est épuisant de voir que le reste du monde se comporte comme si elle n'existait plus.

    J'espère que cette illustration vous plaira comme elle a plu à ce mécène !

    Prenez soin de vous si vous pouvez !

  8. “A Kansas woman says she was ordered to leave the restroom at Wichita Public Libary's central branch after taking her nonverbal and disabled adult son into it with her, reports The Topeka Capital-Journal. Kansas recently banned people from using bathrooms and other spaces not designated for their assigned birth sex, a law plainly targeted at trans and intersex women but also useful for keeping disabled people and their opposite-sex carers at bay.”

  9. Redoing my intro because it's been a minute...

    Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm a queer neurodivergent poet, musician, and AuDHD/OCD advocate.

    The words queer and neurodivergent are doing a lot of heavy lifting in that first sentence, though! The longhand is "bisexual nonbinary genderfluid demigirl who is autistic, PDA, ADHD, OCD, GAD, CPTSD, and bipolar", but that doesn't fit on a business card. 😅

    I'm Australian, and I used to live in China but now I live in San Francisco, ostensibly working on a novel but mostly just sucking up life like I'm a vacuum cleaner and it's lint.

    Special interests and hyperfixations: #Creativity, #Writing, #Poetry, #SFF / #SpecFic, #Drag, #ClassicalMusic, #ChoralMusic and #Musicals, #ContemporaryArt, #History (especially #QueerHistory and #DisabledHistory), #Biology and #Zoology, #Food, #FiberArts, #MBMBAM and #TheAdventureZone, #TerryPratchett, #AceAttorney, #AnimalCrossing, #StevenUniverse, #OurFlagMeansDeath, #RuPaulsDragRace, #Psychology, #Neurodivergence, #Autism and #OCD, #DisabledRights, #SocialJustice, #Ducks.

    Current projects: the NOCD Autism/OCD support group, "The 17%" support Discord for autistic folk with OCD (link in bio!), Tabitha and the Nightingale (YA queer/neurodivergent/disabled fantasy novel), and OCD: The Musical. 🧡

    Fun fact about me: there is a recording somewhere of me very intensely discussing The White Witch of Narnia / Conan The Barbarian porn on the radio.

  10. @ellasoul I'd really like Mastodon to be different in lots of ways to Twitter and to Instagram. Instagram has such a dominant role in the promotion of image based content now. But like everything #FuckZuck it's stuck in a stupid, sexist, patriarchal view of the world typified by its absurd bans of women's nipples and other body types it doesn't like.

    Twitter allows nudity but an awful lot of it is just people reposting other people's images without permission or credit, or without the permission or knowledge of the subject.

    Instagram constantly bans art/photos that include non-sexual nudity and imposes it's rules in more and more absurd ways making users self-censor until their work is 'nice' and 'bland' and inoffensive to it's advertisers.

    But still, I get far more traffic to my website starshumansnests.com/ when I signpost to it from Instagram. But I mostly have to ruin my images with stupid censorship to avoid a ban.

    Even so, I've posted, censored, non-sexual images of disabled subjects and has bans when similar images of non-disabled people have been allowed.

    So, unless Mastodon picks up, I need to keep posting images in Instagram 😐
