Covid conscious, history, social justice, disability rights. She/Her. Dystopian living is not as much fun as people led me to believe.

May we rage when we must & rest when we can. May we seek the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat shalom❀️

This has been clear to me since the day they removed access to PCRs. Plausible deniability = no liability.

Suggestion for folks asking for mutual aid support (based on years of experience): There's no need to say you're embarrassed or ashamed or hate to have to ask. That's exactly how capitalism wants you to feel. And it wants you to reinforce the idea that asking for help is shameful.

Since the pandemic started, this community has been less visible than ever (as they've disproportionately been staying out of crowds and public spaces for safety reasons) even as their numbers have swelled from Long COVID. It's extra hard to march and chant when you're constantly fatigued.

Also apropos of it being disability pride month - another easy thing you can do to make your social media posts more accessible is to use camel case, effectively capitalising each word in hashtags. This is easier for everyone to read and can be processed by screen reading software.

Doug Ford’s plan to privatize alcohol sales will cost Ontario taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Now it’s forcing LCBO workers to go on strike. Workers say Ford is helping billionaires and big business siphon profits from healthcare, education and public services

The fact that you think that walkers are associated with old people is a symptom of the problem. Plenty of younger disabled people use them and thinking otherwise is an indication of the level of ableism in our society that this magazine cover demonstrates.

Also, just cuz it's not surprising doesn't mean it's not violence. It's surprising to everybody who's ignoring it all the time. Black people aren't actually surprised by racism at all. It's pretty standard violence for us. Same with a lot of women for misogyny. So quit gaslighting us @wagatwe.com

This level of interference in the ICC's work is shocking. The British government's David Cameron threatened "in a phone call with Khan to pull Britain out of the court and cut financial support to it, three sources with direct knowledge of the discussion said."

Public Safety Canada knew there was no sign of Palestine rallies β€œmobilizing to violence” at the behest of a former Hamas commander last Oct.

Ministers continued to falsely portray the protests as directly linked to that call to action anyway.

In November, Israel arrested Mohammad Abu Salmiya on the claim that he facilitated the use of Al-Shifa as a "Hamas HQ". This was served to the west and Israeli public as justification for the storming and massacres in the hospital complex. After 7 months of torture, he was released without charges.

From a 2019 thread: Yesterday somebody asked me not to use a word because of its connections with oppression and I went through all the stages of "Don't Tell Me I Can't Use That Word." In my head. And then I got to, "Yeah, okay, I can omit that word from my vocabulary." Decency takes intention.
