Of course

We need to tread eugenics with the seriousness we treat the most vile forms of bigotry because eugenics is what turns those bigotries into action items.

I am again just reminding Dept of Ed employees that you could probably accomplish debt jubilee just by labeling the student loan record folder "DEI" on your way out the door

Re mask bans: sunglasses conceal people's identity more effectively than masks do, but everyone would object to a sunglasses ban. The difference is that sunglasses are completely normalized accessibility devices, while masks have been pathologized as part of the total erasure of the pandemic.

PSA:

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

You should be able to see everything the PM and all the premiers own. MPs and MPPs too. All their assets, all their investments. For one, it would help make the trend of politicians getting very rich while in office visible to more people.

Dear Government and Press. Autism is neurodevelopmental. A form of neurodivergence. It is not a mental health condition, or behavioural condition, or a learning disability. It concerns me that people in charge want to slash benefits but apparently haven't the slightest idea what we are.

One of the most effective strategies for achieving success is to capitalize on the notion that such events are unlikely to occur in one’s immediate vicinity. “It can’t happen here”.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

PSA: Disabled people do NOT deserve to: - Go hungry - Be made homeless - Lose their scooters & cars - Be discriminated at work - Dehumanised as “scroungers” - Receive poor care - Abused - Attacked In fact, no-one deserves those things. So why is it ok for disabled people?

I've been active in the last few years in the Long COVID community. There is a very new risk to our children. This is a serious risk. The unexpected arrival of the FS Tourville, a French nuclear-powered attack submarine, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, raises serious geopolitical (1/9)

Everything is tied back to disability. When people are dehumanized, many do what they can to tie it to disability somehow and make it so that they don't get treated with decency. "That person is mentally ill." "They are lazy." "They're stupid." By fighting ableism, you're fighting dehumanization.

It’s @shay-erlich.bsky.social's birthday tomorrow, but we are stressed instead of celebrating. Due to many unfortunate events and unanticipated expenses, we are ~$3500 short for getting to the end of the month, when my LTD pays out.

Is anyone able to contribute to Shay's mutual aid request on their birthday?

Nobody: Absolutely no one: My screaming #tics: "owww owww owwwooo shit bamboo!" Happy Friday 😊

Btw, screw this “working people” BS. Disabled people dependant on social security are 100% working class people. We are part of the same class and we experience the same oppressions as call centre workers, service workers, manual workers and care workers.

When you are talking about the Mahmoud Khalil Trump Tower protest today *DON’T LEAVE OUT THAT THE PROTESTERS ARE JEWISH* The administration doesn’t give a fuck about Jews. We’re nothing more than a tool to them. They’re weaponizing us to justify their fascism This protest demolishes their rhetoric

Universal autistic problem. *presents potential solution to problem* NT folk: I AM A GOOD PERSON autistic person: what? NT: WHO CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR SUCH AN ERROR autistic person: what? NT: THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, AND I RESENT THE IMPLICATION

If you care about "eugenics" but no longer wear a mask or social distance anymore, then you need to reevaluate whether you really care about eugenics or not.

The govt is not going to help you when you’re disabled, just ask a disabled person. So prevent disability and chronic illness caused by Covid, TB, measles, polio, etc by masking 😷 or watch yourself join this line going up

While debunking the egregiously profitable scare tactic of falsely claiming vaccines are a direct cause of autism, it is also critical to remember that people with autism can, do, and will lead wholly fulfilling lives while the children we lose to preventable illnesses due to fear of autism will not

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Benefit cuts, health care cuts, assisted suicide bills and unmitigated disease-spread are all the same project: eugenics. Governments are disabling people, creating unsurvivable conditions for disabled people and then eliminating us as fast as possible, the second we can’t do paid work.

Disabled people will ‘choose’ assisted suicide if the UK bills pass and when they inevitably expand, because they’re already suicidal. All it takes is that one nudge from a doctor or carer, or just the constant knowledge it’s available. No more government money ‘wasted’ on keeping them alive.

People who have to see it to happen to believe it could are on payroll and people who can see it coming based on extremely straightforward patterns need help with rent.

It is really, really ugly how folks are fighting over who is most oppressed right now. The fucking poem is over; we are at the “nobody left to speak for me” part, unless trade unionists want to get a word in. We have all been thoroughly abandoned, so it’s time to step the fuck up for each other.

Funny people. They can’t stand Trump, yet voted for Doug. Goodbye publicly-funded healthcare, education, and other social services. Forget about ever getting a family doctor. Hello to more healthcare privatization and more alcohol. #OntarioVotes2025

BREAKING: Ontario has lost the 2025 provincial election

So it's #Election Day in Ontario, guessing lower than usual voter turn out. Mainly because of all the shenanigans from Doug Ford & the Conservatives. But maybe my fellow Ontarians will prove me wrong 🙏🏽 Vote Doug out, for those struggling to get by, with little hope of change. 😔 #ONpoli #TOpoli

Tomorrow will be 5 months without @tinu.bsky.social. My birthday is Sunday, all I want is this to be done for Tinu's wonderful family. They need to be covered for her finals expenses, loss of income, et al. If you can't help, please share! 💖 Let's get this #ForTinu www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-t...
