My Personal Working Definition of Saneism

Saneism is the carceral system that polices all mental, emotional, & spiritual states, so that anybody can claim & abuse power, so long as they are willing to participate in that policing.

DISABILITY JUSTICE

East Palestine train derailment is a mass-disabling ecological disaster

What happened in East Palestine, Ohio is already out of the capitalist news cycle, but its impact is still being felt. The root cause of events like this still has yet to be solved, so the cycle will be repeated. Disability will continue to be used to render people disposable.

How to be a better comrade to Black People: a guide for non-Black folks (esp. whites)

1. Be realistic & honest about your dedication — 2. Say it with your chest, BLACK people — 3. Remember: your role is support, not management — 4. Anti-racism work is not charity work — 5. Stop trying to get invited to the cook-out — 6. Lip service don't pay the bills.

ableist "on-the-ground" organizers are the performative ones

Disabled people are forced by ableist so-called "leftist" organizations to only engage in "performative" online organizing, while they simultaneously de-legitimize our organizing needs and efforts.

dismantling saneism & ableism, & abolishing psychiatric incarceration, is inextricable from abolishing police & prisons, because psych hospitals are prisons.

on consent & pandemics

The individualist culture that white supremacist capitalism/ableism propagates is nonconsensually exposing vulnerable people to deadly diseases. You are either actively fighting against that culture, or propagating it.

China's "new normal" — A4 counter-revolution & the end of the Dynamic Zero COVID-19 Policy

Disabled people around the world are mourning the consequences of USAmerikan imperialism using COVID-19, and our very lives, as a proxy war. We will remember this genocide, and we will not be silent about it.

covid-19 is NOT over

1 in 5 adults who get COVID become Disabled with Long COVID. Stop fucking around with those odds. Wear a fucking mask.

People with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ME have been forcibly detained, even killed by negligence, in psych wards, for decades. Acknowledging our physical disease would mean unravelling the fabric of capitalism. The groundwork has already been laid for the same to happen to people with Long COVID.

Abolition, the medical-industrial complex, & covid-19

Neighborhoods could have isolation centers, for caring for sick community members, so that they can recover safely, and not infect their neighbors. But "leftists" need to eat brunch, so we left this crucial work to the state — and now, instead of humane isolation centers, we have jails.

fake "leftists"

"leftist" organizations that are not Disability Justice-centered are counter-revolutionary.

Show me a "leftist" organization that isn't Disability Justice-centered that is actually revolutionary. Can't? It's because they don't exist.

capitalist tech is shitty!

misogynoir, white supremacy, & more at google. big tech has a white supremacy problem.

Google’s toxic problems are no mystery to anyone who’s been there for more than a few months, or who have been following the tech news with a critical eye. Many folks — especially Black women like April Curley and Timnit Gebru — have made clear just how deep the rot is in the institution.
