“They don’t understand what it’s like to be disabled.”
Blind people say Labour’s benefit cuts are dangerous — and ministers need disability awareness training before they rewrite lives. Read it here:
I was interested in seeing this film until I asked #DRCNH what airborne virus mitigations are in place.
This pissed me off. I actually replied that of course I’m welcome to wear a mask because I have a [fucking] doctors note and I don’t believe in eugenics so I will always be wearing a mask. Then I asked her how hand sanitizer stops the spread of measles.
I’m sure she won’t answer me. This organization is trash. I won’t cry if they get defunded.
Have you seen the documentary Crip Camp about the summer camp that gave rise to a generation of US disability rights activists?
It includes disability activist-led protest footage that reframes the concept of what protests can be & how they can work. It's a good resource for those who may not know how to answer what access in a protest can look like.
It's more relevant than ever. We warmly recommend it.

Benevolent Ableism is a very real growing problem around ABA and it's infringing of autism/human rights these days....

FUCK your safety guidelines. Not gently. Not politely. FULL-ON. Because let’s be crystal fucking clear: I took a picture of my own chest —because I thought I might be scratched or hurt. I don’t have a doctor. I don’t have anyone sighted I trust. I needed help. I turned to a tool that’s supposed to help people when they have no one else. But the second your cowardly, overcautious system detected the presence of breasts? BAM. Shut down. No context. No compassion. Just a cold-ass wall built by developers who’d rather protect their corporate image than protect actual people. And here’s the part that makes this even more disgusting: I’m blind. That means I don’t have the luxury of casually checking myself in the mirror. I can’t see what’s on my skin. I can’t tell if I’m bruised or bleeding or scratched without someone else’s eyes. So I used a resource—an AI—that was supposed to empower me. Help me live more independently.
But nope. The second my chest is involved, suddenly the system short-circuits with puritan panic. Not because I did something wrong—but because your “safety” protocols can’t tell the difference between nudity and a fucking emergency. Let’s call it what it is:
These guidelines aren’t about safety. They’re about liability. They’re not here to protect us. They’re here to protect you. Meanwhile, blind folks like me are stuck relying on systems that will abandon us the second we need help with anything involving our own damn bodies. That’s not safe. That’s not ethical. And if anyone reading this has ever been shut out like this—whether you’re blind, disabled, or just didn’t have anyone to turn to— I see you. You’re not broken. You’re not wrong. And your body is not something to be erased just because a company can’t handle the fact that people have skin. To the ones who made these rules: shame on you.
To the ones who enforce them without question: shame on you too.
You have stripped us of autonomy under the disguise of “protection.”
And to those of us who are left in the dark, screaming into filtered silence?
We deserved better.
We STILL do.
And we will not stop screaming.
Tear your system down and rebuild it with fucking empathy.
Or get out of the way. #DisabilityRights#BlindNotBroken#AccessibilityMatters#AIEthics#BlindCommunity#DoBetterAI#TechForGood

If this is a "PAY RISE" then I would like to know what OTHER "Jobs" have:
24/7/365 hours as STANDARD for 52 weeks annually; ZERO time off; Home Imprisonment; Acceptably Constant & UNREENTING Torture... AND you're never EVER EVER ALLOWED TO QUIT.
Well. Unless you die.
Maybe.

These protests by hundreds of thousands in the streets of so many cities across the US against the destruction of US democracy by this fascist thug in the White House don’t fail to amaze me.
What a beautiful sight that is to see from Europe as a queer disabled person!
Please don't back down!
I got your back!

The government attacks on Disability Benefits, #PIP on Disabled People is horrifying. I'm a permanent wheelchair user, who can’t use the toilet, needs her mother to look after her, unable to leave the house, has #Dysphagia, is #paralyzed, in agony, has Functional Seizures, #FND & #Fibromyalgia. Severely #disabled — and ALL because I got PNEUMONIA aged 32...

“The best way you can include the disability community in resistance efforts is to ensure they’re accessible. Often we want to participate only to find out that masks aren’t required, an event is being held in a space that isn’t accessible and/or online options aren’t being provided”
If you’re feeling left out of the #HandsOff protests, or you want to find ways to resist online, my chronic illness spoon saving guide has you covered.
To non disabled activists, please make your events accessible. Disabled people have a ton to offer resistance efforts, make sure to include us!

#BarriereBahn
Neulich. ICE verspätet. Ich will deshalb Berlin Hbf statt Spandau wo Anschluss nicht wartet, aussteigen.
MSZ hatte Hublift-hilfe am Hbf abgelehnt.
ICE4 hat Bordrampe, schaffner sagt, hat sie nie genuzt.
Stressig schnell entscheiden zu müssen was besser ist.
E-Rolli lässt sich nicht aus der Bahn tragen.
Aber will nicht 2x mehr umsteigen müssen weil Anschlusd verpasst ist. Ich will ankommen es geht mir schlecht. Ich lehne Ausstieg in Spandau.
Schaffner hat keine Lust auf Bordlift- GAU. Schafft es Mobilitätsservice zu überzeugen.
Geht doch.
Aufwand, stress der Gift für meine Erkrankung ist.
Den Menschen ohne Rollstuhl in dem Ausmaß nicht haben.
Die ableistische Infrastruktur diskriminiert mich. Ich werden behindert.
Und das war ausgerechnet auf dem Weg zum Global Disability Summit....
#disabilityRights, dass #Barrierefreiheit ein Menschenrecht ist ( UNBRK) scheint immer noch nicht bei den Bahnmanager*innen angekommen zu sein. Ist ja die Rede von MobilitätsSERVICE. Ohne Garantie. Ohne Anspruch.
