White disabled people do not experience the level of marginalization as colonized disabled people. Read it again. For some reason many white disabled people think because they are disabled then they are having what is similar to “a Black experience” - I promise you, you’re not

I’ve been inside for 8 months cuz of the pandemic. I’m immune compromised & while it’s been hard it’s been worth it. I realize there’s a lot of things you can do from home like: registering with Be the Match as a stem cell donor cuz I need a transplant - text ItsWalela to 61474

@isaackingmusic Nope it’s all problematic cuz all rise and grind twitter does is buy into the capitalist myth that our worth and “productivity” is measured by how our labor can be exploited. That’s the whole problem with that sector of twitter.

raise your hand if u were ableist w/ no understanding of disability justice until you, urself, became disabled - 🙋🏽 (me too) -this speaks to a lot of ways we arent educated at ALL about this but for me, im most disappointed by not learning about this in popular organizing spaces

I go to one of the best cancer centers in the nation and when the vaccine was first made available, the namely white nurses said they wanted to see how it would “work” on the janitorial staff who were all non white & working class. I lost so much respect for a chunk of my staff.

Black people have a 23% chance of finding a stem cell donor. It's a simple cheek swab to find out if you could save my life in my battle against cancer.

Im not a fan of jameela jamil but its v strange how so many ppl are diagnosing her w/ munchausen who aren’t professionals treating her. It’s possible for ppl to have multiple disabilities & look “fine.” There are more timely critiques than this baseless shit rooted in ableism.

If you believe disabled people are “faking” our conditions because our disabilities don’t present in a way you’re accustomed to or because you think we are trying to “scam” people or “cheat” the system #UHateDisabledPeople

I very much would like to know if you actually auditioned autistic actors, if so: how many, was there anyone autistic that you consulted, there’s a responsibility as artists that is to be had and your response to being held accountable is gross

To any Black disabled kid feeling like they gotta hide their disability, like they gotta work work work through their condition, who feel they aren’t enough because of the language ppl are using on here. Whatever you do is legacy, including if it is rest and repeat.

you contribution to organizing isn’t rooted in how much “in the streets” or “trenches” you are & to measure other peoples contributions that way is ableist and negates that there are MULTIPLE roles within organizing. not everyone is meant to be / can be frontline.

“Blood family” don’t mean shit if they don’t know how to: respect boundaries, support your development and independence. “Blood family” don’t mean shit if they: intentionally undermine your ability to be functional, are dishonest, manipulative, or are abusive
