"May we re-member and re-embody the knowing that resisting abled supremacy is a love practice. Reducing community transmission in the spirit of collective responsibility is a love practice that is liberatory to every bodymind where abledness is temporary. " A 2 part essay. Part2 is here: https://www.itsjiyounkim.com/blog/love-ethic-in-a-pandemic-2

 

"This is the true harm of the hegemony of the overcoming disability narrative: the idea that your access needs are a mere hindrance that you should always be working to be rid of."

Yeah... The treatment is supposed to be helpful, not harmful. It is indeed quite distressing to see lack of knowledge and close mindedness from medical proffessionals. On a tangential note: With the dropping of mask mandates in medical settings I am scared to go for my physiotherapy too, I do not want the doctors to give my long covid long covid. "Do no harm" their oath says. Right.

Yeah..being dehumanized... What you are saying seems like a "natural" consequence of a system of beliefs that treats some bodies and minds as worth more than the others. Some persons get treated so badly up to the degree of denying their personhood completely.

How about the general term- Fedizens, that has been around for some time?

"Accessibility is about people." Interesting perspective. In the end it is people, and organizations made of people, who decide to build our world as inaccessible. Having accesibility at the forefront of design would solve a lot of the problems that AI tools try to help with . An ideal world would be where good accesibilty is built into our systems directly, no matter whether we are talking about operating systems or social systems.

I am happy you found a doctor who is willing to listen and be empathetic! I hope things will go well for you.

 

An article talking about the details of the health supremacy ideology that is inbuilt into the way our systems work.

 

A very educational post about a ME/CFS /Long Covid experience from the perspective of a person with an occupational/physical therapy background.

Here is a very interesting text from Itxi Guerra originally written in Spanish and translated to English by Anti. It talks a lot about the relationship of anarchism and disability, but I believe it can an be interesting perspective to read for any kind of activists. In the first section there is also an informative list of all the various models and definitions of disability.

Unhelpful doctors - such a classic and very relatable unfortunately. I wish us all more empathetic and competent medical proffesionals.

I'll comment about myself too. I am neurodivergent in more than one way and have a couple of chronic illnesses, that when separated, would be mostly just a minor annoyance, but when bundled together become a major pain in the ass (both metaphorically and literally).

Yeah that sounds really rough. I really wish you a better day tomorrow.

I submitted the form, but the community that I would want to moderate most does not exist yet - a general disability community.

 

Queer out here is a very cool audio zine focusing on queer people's experience of the outdoors. This is a preview of the next issue. I highly recomend the previous issues too!

 

It is an annual Fediverse wide music contest. Submissions are closed now, but the listening and voting part will start soon.

Yes. I also liked the CongratsLikeImFive sub.

Fair points. But I enjoyed both Sims 2 and 3 modless much more than modless 4 :D If not for the quality of life improvements in build mode for 4, I would probably play the older games more than Sims 4 ;D
