#disability
All the usual suspects are suddenly experts in Mental Health, none of them are reflecting the reality, but it's easier to blame the Disabled that Tax The Rich, isn't it?

The Trump regime deported a kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University, despite the fact that she had a valid visa.
Transplant specialists are one of the most in demand and difficult specialty. They can’t be easily replaced.
The cruelty is the point.
Perhaps most alarming is the fact that a court order was issued to prevent her deportation, and she was deported anyway.
Trump and his cronies are actively defying court orders. They’re acting outside the law.
The billionaire oligarch who bought the Presidency spends his days on X calling for the arrest and removal of judges who try and block Trump from doing whatever he wants.
This is fascism. The courts are a necessary part of the checks and balances that keep a democracy functioning.
The US is rapidly running out of time to save their democracy.
Stand up. Speak out. Protest. Divest from businesses run by Trump and Musk. Vote with your dollar. Resist in whatever way you can.
Do not go gently.

Britain's government wants to tame its ballooning bill for supporting people with disabilities and long-term health conditions which, despite the cost, leaves many claimants distressed or struggling to find work. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/17/world/society/uk-soaring-disability-costs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #disability #discrimination #uk

im in literal crippling spoons debt rn and the spoonie bailiffs are coming for my organs istg #disabled #disability
Most of the time, I don't care about being #blind. I don't dwell on it, and I just go on about my business, dealing with the unique aspects of life that come up when you have a #disability. But I can't help the frustration that comes when I've just spent the last four hours doing something a sighted person could do in five minutes.
Captioned recording (w ASL) of my #CSUNATC US digital #accessibility legal update talk. Trying to find the balance between risks and hope in this terrible time in the United States. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fQyWH3DiD9s #a11y #disability #law
So, who wants to quit the #megamachine, build a #solarpunk #ND, #disability friendly #autonomous #regenerative #intentionalcommunity in woods, grow abundent food, medicine, trees to share with whoever needs it, host people who need a place to be, help heal whoever needs to heal, actually have time and spoons to enjoy living?
Not looking for arguments.
Seeking dreamers to live simply, learn skills, be uncomfortable, enjoy music, stories, art, campfires, singing, howling at the moon
That's the dadgum truth, right there.

Since this got so much attention, I'd like to use this moment of sunshine to invite you all to read with us next week:
This #LongCovidAwarenessDay I’m reflecting on how many people have been let down by governments, public health & medical establishments
How Covid has been downplayed, airborne spread ignored & vaxx and relax strategies pushed for the sake of capitalism
How many have Long Covid because of this?
Those of us who were disabled before the pandemic could see this wave of chronic illness coming - and many of us have been screaming from the top of our lungs the last 5 years.
Begging people not to take their health for granted & to wear a mask and protect themselves.
Warning them that there are no do-overs once you become chronically ill. Unfortunately very few people are listening - and many won’t understand the true devastation of #LongCovid until it directly impacts them. At which point it’ll be too late.
Despite seeing these waves of disability as an inevitable consequence of “let er rip” Covid strategy - one thing I did not see coming was how many people would willingly embrace not only ableism - but full on eugenics.
People in my own life who were previously kind & supportive have become cruel and angry. The masks have been ripped off. They don’t hesitate to tell me that they blame me for the restrictions placed on them in the early days of Covid.
That they will never again allow their freedoms to be infringed on in the name of protecting the vulnerable. One even went as far as to say “you’ve been sick for years - just die already.”
People who say these things don’t understand what disabled ppl understand all too well - your health is not a permanent state.
Everyone will become disabled eventually - some earlier than others. Many who think they’re invulnerable are already vulnerable and don’t even know it
Yet rather than adapting behaviour and pushing for a new normal that makes the world safe for everyone - most temporarily abled people have instead doubled down on hateful eugenics talking points and want us to stay home forever (or worse - die). It needs to stop.
Covid is airborne and we all share the air. “You do you” individualism is quite literally killing people. We need to start caring about the air we share as this will lead to a healthier society for everyone.
Until then we need to mask up. It’s easy, incredibly effective & it might save someone’s life. At the very least you will know you didn’t contribute to another person’s suffering - and you will be drastically reducing your own odds of getting Long Covid. It’s worth it.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've been accepted as a student at #ColoradoChristianUniversityOnline! I'll be pursuing a B.S. in #ComputerScience. The school's class format seems much more manageable for me than other schools I've attended, and I'm feeling optimistic about this new chapter.
Now begins the challenging process of hunting for #scholarships. Unfortunately, I'm discovering just how inaccessible most scholarship websites are for screen reader users. If anyone knows of #accessible scholarship resources or platforms, I'd greatly appreciate your recommendations!

I get a kick out of this "budget meal hack" trending hashtag on #scoopz at the moment.
It's always WAY over complicated, and made with processed food, and not actually budget because it costs like 3+ dollars a meal.
If you actually learn how to #cook #baking use staples/seasoning, and plan ahead, THAT is the real budget meal hack.
Don't say you need money. I do this on #disability
The economy is crashing. You should learn now, it'll save ya later.
Hi everyone, it's new article day 
This week, Robert Iveniuk examines how anime can be used to shine a light on the ableism people with disabilities face in reality, using Komi Can't Communicate, Your Lie In April, and others as subjects. It's a great read that we hope you'll enjoy.

The cPTSD is helpful as far as making me believe things are shitty before the regular population seems to believe it, but it is incredibly bad at helping me stay healthy enough to do what I know I need to do.
cPTSD episodes are not good for productivity. #Disability #Fascism #Trauma
