The unmitigated pandemic is a fascist project & maskless faces are the primary weapon. Mask blocs offer free n95-type masks, including sample packs to find the best fit re: size, sensory needs, hair texture, &c. If you can mask, you must choose: will you be an agent of empire or agent of justice?

If you're able to donate, North Carolina needs your help. One of the organizations on this list, Homeward Bound, is near to my heart. I used to volunteer there. It's a day shelter for the unhoused. And Buncombe County's homeless population just grew exponentially.

transphobia is not a mental illness. bigotry is not a mental illness. stop conflating hate with disability.

This is a nuanced topic and the internet is terrible at that, but I think everyone is capable of commitment to growth of prosocial practices in ourselves & in our communities, even while we all have different abilities, limitations, growth trajectories, roles, &c. Disabled people often lead the way.

Hereā€™s what I firmly believe about climate catastrophes: the answer is never to place blame or to shrug and say certain people need to ā€œjust move.ā€ There is no place that isnā€™t going to need help in some kind of a catastrophe.

If I agree with your opinion but hate how you treat others when expressing it I'm probably gonna block you. Odds are good you aren't saying anything I need to hear enough to let you diminish the quality of my feed with shitty behavior.

Disabled people are not acceptable casualties. Not during natural disasters. Not during a pandemic. Not during climate collapse. Not for profit. Not for optics. Not at protests. Not at school. Not for election goals. Not for personal comfort. There is no justice without disability justice.

Political orgs, events, and leaders being perpetually inaccessible will be their downfall. They cannot do true and lasting liberatory work without disabled people and without commitment to disability justice. Your online work is real and important. Itā€™s ableism thatā€™s insufferable, not you.

I can relate. So many of my political spaces and the types of events Iā€™d normally go to arenā€™t safe for me because people wonā€™t wear an n95.
