Please, as mask bans continue to accelerate, we need everyone to wear N95 masks in all public settings, indoors, outdoors, in photos.

I am begging you to put disabled kids survival first. My child cannot mask due to an upper airway restriction, unrepairable open palate and other health complications. We have been homebound for most of their 10 years of life.

It is heartbreaking to witness the forced isolation, ostracism, ableist abuse, and celebration of eugenics culture from the left. We need everyone to be fighting for permanent N95 masks in mandates in all medical facilities. #ableism #AntiAbleism #MedicalIndustrialComplex #disabled #maskbans #eugenics

I was not born to kneel before any government.
I was not born to appease any politician.
I was not born to uphold the sickass status quo.
I was born to challenge all of the above.
I come from a long line of resistance warriors & will fight for justice for the oppressed humans & non-human living beings, as long as I'm alive to do so.
This is a lifetime personal commitment.
I take it very seriously.

At the request of activist, artist and researcher Ren Loren Britton, we have published a transcript of the conversation on our podcast.

You can find the access copy here img.macba.cat/wp-content/uploa

And the #podcast here: rwm.macba.cat/en/podcasts/high

In this conversation we delve into Radical access, Access riders, Access servers and the edges of access. We also think of access as feelings and access as a mood.

Do you know who has a lot of credit when it comes to me learning to be more courageous about showing my flawed, imperfect self online, now?

It's due to a bunch elementary school children, at the now closed McTavish Elementary School in #CentralSaanich. I did my practicum there after obtaining my specialized teacher's assistant certifications. I worked with FASD, autistic, down syndrome & physically disabled students there. They represented 30% of student population there.

I did an interactive cultural, racial & disabilities bridging awareness program while there. Part of it was showcasing my life as a child war survivor & how me & my family survived war. The other part was showcasing how I was diagnosed with polio. How I was told I'd be living out of a wheelchair for my whole life. How I beat that diagnosis by sheer willpower & suffering much physical pains while forcing my body to learn how to walk against all odds. How I'm in front of them, walking & talking. I invited the kids to ask any questions they wanted & advised staff/parental witnesses to not interrupt kids during Q&A period. The kids asked amazing questions & I answered all of them, openly & honestly. I had a few parents & teachers squirm when one kid asked to see & touch my leg braces. I showed the kids both my leg braces & told them it's OK to touch them & ask me more questions.

This is how I bridge things & create less fears of disabled peoples, from a young age. Most kids are more curious than outright judgemental. Most kids develop understanding of disabled people, if they're taught well.

Don't say you haven't seen horrific #ableism after looking at this thread, which includes an example of some asshole who has *an image of text* that he uses to call someone an "alt text virtue signalling keyboard warrior" for... simply providing an alt text.

And he has the gall to claim he's "empathetic"! While calling simple aid "bullying"!

It's like he asked, "How can I be the maximum possible amount of asshole?" and then went for it.

mastodon.art/@Curator/11358786

Mastodon.ARTMastodon•ART 🎨 Curator (@Curator@mastodon.art)The amount of hate I've seen directed at alt-text and at people who ask for, and provide, alt-text recently is disgusting. It's absurd levels of ableism (ableism is prejudice and discrimination against someone with a disability). Alt-text is a disability aid that helps blind and partially sighted people understand the contents of an image when they're browsing fedi using a screenreader. The screenreader reads the contents of a post, and when it comes to an image, it reads the contents - 🧵
