Look, ‘this is is just screaming’ IS peak comedy and if you think otherwise how does being wrong feel

Ahhh I see :/

Ok nvm I just saw one trans crip advertising their OF but not rly anything super explicit. Idm that.

Hi! Second disabled artist here to second this :)

Admittedly I pretty much exclusively use the disabled one

Weird, I haven’t seen anything like that any of the times I’ve used this app :S can you turn off 18+ content on here?

What’s going on?

Oh hey. I kinda tried to focus on the anthropology of disability for my anthropology degree as a student and honestly kinda struggled (the degree, syllabus and lecturers had little support for this approach) so I’d love any recommendations you have. I do Disability Studies now haha

"So, here are a few eternal truths. No one wants to be sick. Very few people enjoy being unable to work. Fraud rates for the key disability benefit are effectively zero."

Just 16 MPs attend debate on disability rights, days after hundreds vote for assisted suicide Just a handful of MPs attended a debate to mark the international day of disabled people, four days after the House of Commons voted in favour of a bill that would legalise assisted suicide. More t…

Disabled people do not have “the full force of the law behind them when they are discriminated against" @marisharay.bsky.social @liberaldisability.bsky.social

It’s Wrapped time again! Zero surprises for me here haha

Oooh interesting!

This rule was just released yesterday.

Findings from our recent paper provides the first evidence on this.

It suggests that after repealing these subminimum wages, labor force participation actually rises at a population level

What is this?

Ahh, I see

Wait, it isn’t already? :S

As a wheelchair user who is unable to leave the house when there’s snow or ice on the ground: thank you! Not enough people realise this

Consider: a person can have saved up to buy things they really when the sales hit all year but not have much money in their actively able to spend pot if that makes sense.

How just sitting in a chair on a train can be exhausting. To an abled person that’s basically resting, but my brain is dealing w a barrage of new sights, sounds smells and sensations and my bones and muscles gotta stretch

I hate how as soon as that word becomes involved you gotta start mentally evaluating if the thing actually IS inspiring or this is abled fuckery because I don’t wanna remove the credit for a disabled person ACTUALLY doing something difficult and inspiring yknow

A screenshot of a Facebook post. The post shows a blurred image of the Palestinian flag with a warning from the website declaring it violent or graphic content

Facebook now deeming the Palestinian flag ‘graphic content’ in need of censoring. This is why everyone has been slowly migrating to sites like this one instead (apologies for the scribbles, top and bottom obscured on markup so was going in blind to cover names)

Precisely there is massive potential for coercive control. #Disability Rights UK is opposed to the legislation for sounds reasons. We #disabled people who have researched what’s happened elsewhere are speaking up for those who are unable to speak for themselves.

i’m so devastated by the lack of noise about the assisted dying bill from those without illness or disability and how thus we’ve sleepwalked into cleansing

"Assistance to die should not be easier to access than assistance to live."

- from @disrightsuk.bsky.social's Position on Assisted Dying, 12th Nov 2024.

Whatever else happens, let's keep fighting for disabled people's rights to live and thrive.

Well fuck shit piss and wank. Disabled people are likely going to die because of this bill and I’m so tired of that. There is so much death in our lives as is.

Screenshot: source disability news network Disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) from across England and Wales have united to warn of the grave risks of proposed new legislation that would allow assisted suicide for people with a terminal illness. Not Dead Yet UK, Disability Rights UK, All Wales People First, Liberation, Disabled People Against Cuts, Disability Wales and the coalition of UK DPOs that monitor implementation of the UN disability convention, all spoke out yesterday (Wednesday) to oppose the bill.

I wish for a world where assisted death isn't controversial, where we don't fear being inadvertently killed off because at every level society acts against the disabled and ill. It's harder to accept assisted death when there's little done to assist people in life.

You lot aren't ready for this but the common attitude towards euthanising pets is super ableist too.

The idea that if your cat develops any disability it's instantly better to kill them than let them "suffer" 🤮

That is not compassion or dignity. It's ableism.

This is a mood. Like she’s fucking unbearable at times. God forbid someone be nice to her. She does get better once you get past the Tamlin and Rhysand introductions she is more bearable

thank you so much! New here and was looking especially for this so it's perfect thank you!
