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.

I was instrumental in bringing down an unlawful federal government policy that claimed lives, I did it all without leaving my house via platforms including Twitter and Facebook, and I will never fucking apologise for my action being predominantly or exclusively online. You're welcome, ableds.

I’m limited to yelling at the computer or writing emails. Alas.

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.

When I became more severely physically disabled, it was on-line Disabled people who supported me & also modeled how to go through that & not lose myself to despair. They were honest about difficulties but also that joy was still possible. They helped me accept it. That’s praxis. 1/2

not only is it wrong (social media can & has been a useful tool for organizing & activism) but it necessitates some level of ignorance & privilege to say that shit during increasing surveillance, eradication of third spaces, criminalization of protests on top of generally inaccessible infrastructure

When I was mostly bedbound and in pain 24/7, it was disabled folks online who bought me stuff from my wishlist that helped me stay alive And so many folks sent a note saying things I'd written had helped *them* stay alive, suffer less, or finally access a formal diagnosis Interdependence

Y’know what at least when someone posts something fucked up, there’s pushback. I’ve done the local on-the-ground party shit, and half the time when someone says something fucked up, half the room says nothing and the other half nods in agreement. Not sure how the hell THAT is supposed to be of help.

Having a good internet connection can help in so very many ways. Someone needed a map of a nearby town so as to check on needy citizens. I got them the info they needed. Another person didn't understand medicine discount options and I found one option for them.

Especially when you’re autistic and have trauma around being punished- like me.
