“This is what disability advocates have said all along…The able and the disabled aren’t two different kinds of people but the same people at different times. Last year, I was healthy; this year, I had a breathing ailment, even if nobody could say exactly what that ailment was.”

One for the ages, by one of the best writers I've ever had the honor to be edited by. Horrific, but beautifully written. "My Unraveling: I had my health. I had a job. And then, abruptly, I didn’t." By @tomscocca in @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

Tom Scocca: Unraveling My Medical Mystery

The strangest things happen to other people’s bodies. Then they began happening to my own.

The other thing I need ALL of my people to embrace is this: you cannot outperform, out accolade, out accomplish, etc., white supremacy. You cannot. It’s not a meritocracy. You’re mad because deep down, you still think it is, even if it’s unbalanced. It’s not.

I wanna talk about the disabled angels: there's so many 'in heaven they will finally be free of their wheelchair' and 'they will be made whole again in heaven' narratives around disabled people, so to see visibly disabled angels means everything, thank you @neilhimself #GoodOmens

I’ve started & stopped writing this message since yesterday. Truth is Black women can have higher education, better overall health, higher wealth, live in nicer neighborhoods, attend prenatal visits more often & STILL have worse outcomes than Whites. Still no hospital protocols

Do any blind people who own a business know of a good newsletter creation platform? So many of the popular ones are incredibly inaccessible, and their only accessibility info is aimed at helping readers access your content, not the authoring tools accessibility 🤦🏻‍♂️

A lot of you exhibit ableism in your everyday rhetoric but ableism and eugenics—everything disabled people have been warning you about—is about to come full circle back to you regarding the overturning of Roe V Wade. A Thread:

🚨 Grateful to have been interviewed by @shruti_rajkumar at @NPR about the reactions to @lizzo & #ableist language: "Grace and room for correction are typically not given [to Black people]. The double standard of inconsistent reactions is profound." npr.org/2022/06/14/110492500…

As Lizzo was called out for ableism, many Black disabled people felt overlooked

Lizzo's new song sparked heated discussions about ableist language. However, Black disabled people were overlooked as they called out double standards and pointed to the need for cultural nuance.

Web 2.0 showed us our worst social issues are exacerbated by building tech first and asking questions later. web3 plants seeds for environmental disaster, artificial scarcity, and general disregard for bad actors. On the internet there’s no such thing as “future problems.”2/5

I’ve spent ~10yrs trying to fix and prevent societal issues on the internet. I’m begging my fellow technologists running towards web3 to take the lessons of Web 2.0 with you. What I’ve seen so far lays the foundation for serious future problems. 1/5

“Shaming is one of the deepest tools of imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy because shame produces trauma and trauma often produces paralysis.” - bell hooks 🕊 I hold these words tightly given how heavy this year has been.
