One thing that is really painful is seeing my fears about being abandoned because I can't do the right kind of organizing and community-building offline being shared as "yeah that's just how it is".

Like most conversations about ableist language, the actual point is deeper. At least to me. The reason to examine the language isn’t simply the word choice, but rather the unexamined relationship to the societal default. Language is the entrance to which we can have a larger conversation.

Just unfollowed someone so fast on the other site after they shared a post talmbout people being selfish for 'fearmongering' about Project 2025 in order to get people to vote Republicans' stated intentions are scary, but providing accurate info about them is not fearmongering! It's just the stakes!

Thinking it's okay to use ableist slurs and not racist or homophobic ones very clearly illustrates that you think being disabled is demeaning and disabled people are worthy of your contempt. Otherwise why would you use a word for intellectual disability as an insult?

Just knowing that I am creating my own written record of my disabilities and chronic illnesses is powerful It’s an act of resistance, because American medicine is ableist and eugenicist

IDK kind of feels like we should be paying more attention to a prominent conservative think tank saying we're in the midst of a second american revolution that will remain bloodless as long as long as the left lets it be, then whether or not Biden should step down.

They hyper individualism behind the impulse to simply exit all together forever is probably deeply American, but it’s not just if you are a person who could otherwise be building community to sustain us (and everyone could be that) like so many people before opted to do under worse circumstances.

I’m sure other people have already posted about how the rest of the world is also not it, but like, are you a person who looks at the people around you and decides to fight for them, to sustain for them, to build resilience with them, or are you a person who sees yourself/your family as an island?

You all weren’t joking when I got back on here yesterday. People have really gone full throttle on “the camps” discourse on here, as opposed to considering the “when we fight we win” discourse and as a social movements person I am a little gagged, in the worst way.

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.

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.

It's important to note that this single-post analysis above is entirely consistent with a much more comprehensive analysis by @ketanjoshi.co showing that changes in the X algorithm and moderation policies that began in Oct 2022 have massively favoured trolls and penalized climate scientists.

Since I had such a large sample (nearly a hundred), I analyzed X comments by category. 47% said climate wasn't changing, I was lying, ignorant, or not really a scientist 15% said I was in it for the $ 14% were insults Content warning: Please don't read the fine print if you're sensitive.

Lord, there's a pit in my stomach seeing the pictures coming out of St. Vincent (where I was born and where much of my family grew up or still lives) The devastation caused Hurricane Beryl is...tremendous. And the world isn't ready for the future (present?) of climate change and climate refugees

If you're a moot and I missed you cause I didn't know you were BIPOC *or* I didn't know you were working on a comic, @ or DM me. Do the same if you're in, and would prefer to be removed for any reason. 🫡

I already invite people on X to join us here weekly. But thanks to this analysis, I've decided to re-create my "scientists who do climate" list here this summer, and manually invite each of the 3,000 members on X to join us. If you're still on X, pls consider inviting your followers to join us too!

Racism is baked in to our society. Even in BIPOC. Our institutions uphold it, and anyone trying to deconstruct it is vilified. Add on top of that capitalist doctrine teaches us that we can all work hard and succeed, and people decide that oppressed people just aren't working hard enough.
