CROSSPOST FROM MY COMADERY. Part of a three part series: Disability (part 1), Right to Exist (part 2), and Accountability and Healing (part 3).

Accessibility Zine Completed and Ready for Download

The Accessibility Zine my friend and I worked on is completed! I asked friends and members of the National General Strike group (they have an Accessibility affinity group) to review for errors and readability so I could revise and correct. The Zine covers: It perhaps is more accurately called a booklet due to its length. Continue reading

Bird’s Disabled Manifesto

I write this truth so all may understand the reality of Disability. Disability is the one category, the one group, the one community that anyone can join at any time in their life for any reason. Disability is defined by people. People can be born disabled. People may become disabled due to an infinite set Continue reading

A History Lesson Part 2: Crawl if we have to

In Part One, I discussed the oppression disabled people faced in America.

A History Lesson: Disabled Activists and our Right to Exist in Public

For a History Lesson and reminder of the role Disabled people have played in activism, I singled out a few instances, but there’s hundreds of thousands throughout America’s history. Many of the privileges and rights people have had are due partly to the fight of our disabled ancestors. Continue reading

What We’re Up Against and Where To Go From Here (updated 2/28/2025)

This video discusses the playbook these techbros are using. The agenda discussed is exactly what we are seeing playing out in real time right now in the USA. They want corporate-owned “network states” to hoard more wealth and make it impossible for others to gain their wealth; as well as having a trapped workforce to Continue reading

Building Communities of Care and Liberation

We need to build better communities of care and support, desperately. With how our society keeps refusing to acknowledge the pandemic (Covid levels are so high in my state right now that it’s dangerous to go out), it makes existing with other people even harder, and often disabled, marginalized folks like me get left behind.
