I mean, "willfully ignorant" is right there, and is honestly a much deeper, dual-layer drag.

so, i carry a lot of anger, on behalf of myself and people with disabilities writ large. it's fueled a lot of my best work. wouldn't give it up. in service of the right cause, rage is righteous.

and, yes, my workplace was more interested in not making the message board posters angry than making sure one of their three full-timers felt at all comfortable in their working environment because one of those things would take a lot more effort

my anger then and now wasn't just directed at ableism because intersectionalism is paramount to advocacy for any cause. my disability made me easier to dismiss, though. i was "tired" and "needed a nap."

when i wrote at a large website with a message board and had a decent twitter following, the number one thing people said about/to me was that i shouldn't be this angry all the time. two years after i left that job, my disability forced me out of the workforce and into SSDI limbo.

it'd be great to see even one donation. small dollar amounts add up, especially when it's a monthly pledge, and those also help these organizations not rely on a couple huge funding spikes per year.

if three people reply with receipts showing they set up a monthly donation to their local abortion fund, i'll do a quick thread on why i have my birth name and lifelong nickname, and how the latter emerged from someone misunderstanding latin bsky.app/profile/jdje...

You can't both shove Disabled people out of offline spaces and then say "online discussion of how not to be a harmful person isn't praxis". I mean, you can but you're being an asshole. And for many Disabled people, those offline spaces were never accessible. It's not just masking.

For a lot of Disabled people, posting-as-praxis is what we can do. I don't have a lot of respect for people who want to denigrate this specific part of community participation.

Clawback rules are absolute garbage. They're one of the best arguments for UBI. They were especially pernicious when people who used pandemic funding to get back on their feet up here got hit with clawbacks by the federal government and kicked right back to square one in their lives.

meanwhile, the projected payout is so low and the limitations on other income/assets are so strict that there's a real question of whether it's even worth it to stay on SSDI if i get approved. every time my parents look at long-term finances for me, the rules of SSDI are a huge impediment.

i can't stop thinking about how few people are in a position to survive waiting this long with no income and a disability on board, and how it'd *save the government money* to dismantle the SSDI bureaucracy and approve every single application
