This account/movement was created by a queer disabled woman of color. The idea was and still is to challenge today’s accessibility standards. However, the lens has broadened to include disability justice and in particular - intersectionality. Opinions are all my own.

“Disaster preparedness” rarely, if ever, includes the disabled and chronically ill community. They are too often left behind.

There’s a sad irony in the fact that many in disabled and chronically ill community have been saying that the pandemic isn’t over and asking people to continue to mask and no one listened. Now that COVID is “surging again,” people are being urged to mask again.

“COVID is surging again.”. COVID has never gone away. Society and government just chose to ignore it. The disabled and chronically ill community warned that doing that would lead to more surges.

How the disabled community can work towards collective liberation:. Bridge the gap between social justice and Disability Justice. Stop putting leaders in the community on pedestals. Amplify multi-marginalized voices.

There’s a lot of talk about being “in community with others” from the leaders of marginalized communities, but very little actual inclusion of the disabled community. ‌.‌.

Just a note. This account is on the other app. Until that one is accessible, things will be cross-posted. It’s @ UpgradeAccessibility there.

Something that needs to be repeated (yet again) on International Non-Binary People’s Day: . Non-binary disabled/chronically ill people exist. They have a right to have their whole identities respected and honored. They also should be a part of important conversations.

“Liberty and justice for all.”. Unless you’re disabled and want the liberty to marry a partner. Unless you’re disabled and want the liberty to have more than $2000 in assets. Unless you’re disabled and seek justice under the protection of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Thank you for the information. Now we wait anxiously.
