saneism is ableism is saneism

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

FORGET US NOT

I’M SO TIRED OF DISABLEDS BEING LEFT TO DIE. FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO ARTICULATE THEIR NEEDS, DUE TO PHYSICAL AND/OR MENTAL INHIBITIONS. DAY IN, DAY OUT.

fake "leftists"

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.

covid-19 is NOT over

on consent & pandemics

capitalist individualism

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.

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.

FUCK POLICE & PRISONS

don't call the cops: Equality for Flatbush's Alternatives to calling 911

Police officers are not trained to handle mental health or medical crises, and statistically close to 50% of all police murders in the US involve a person living with a physical disability or mental health condition.

the majority of ANTIHEROINE.'s workers and contributors are based in countries of the global minority (white supremacist capitalist western imperialist states).
most of us are informed by our lived experiences of living on the stolen Indigenous Lands now coercively called by colonizers as usameriKKKa, unless otherwise stated, and therefore our publication is usameriKKKa-centric. we openly acknowledge our bias, and our usameriKKKa-centricism.

our red and black logo was designed by amelie, a Blind queer agender vietnamese-usameriKKKan artist and designer.
