Megan Lynch (she/her)Even now the Dems (and I've even seen Canadian politicians doing this) cannot stop with the reactionary "working families" rhetoric for places where "the public", 'people" will do, stuff that is not specific to working families.It signals who is thought to be "worthy" of life. Disabled people, childless people, childfree people, people with bad families or no family are expendable in this political calculation. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sexism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Natalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Natalism</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesIf you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.<a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/eugenics-isnt-dead-its-thriving-in-tech/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/eugenics-isnt-dead-its-thriving-in-tech/</a>Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeterThiel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthAfrica</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nazis</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugenics</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigData</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Billionaires</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dystopia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eliminationism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eliminationism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Technofascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Technofascism</a>

They will not create accessible schooling, training, or workplaces. And they will treat disabled people as "cheaters" and "scroungers" if inaccessible schooling and workplaces keep them out of careers. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a>

Shantell PowellI am flying with Porter Air next month. I just called them up to see if someone would be able to help me put my carry-on luggage in the overhead since I am unable to reach overhead due to my disability. They told me that they absolutely cannot and will not do this, as it is a liability. I'm expected to put my medication, laptop, and medical devices in the main luggage if I can't move it myself. Why is this their policy when their website says they will assist me with my carry-on luggage?<a href="https://www.flyporter.com/en-ca/travel-information/disability-assistance/our-disability-assistance-services" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.flyporter.com/en-ca/travel-information/disability-assistance/our-disability-assistance-services</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/PorterAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PorterAir</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Disabilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disabilty</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a>

BroadwaybabytoI keep saying this is a powerful moment for intersectionality, because it is. There are more of us than there are of them. That’s how we fight fascism. That’s how we fight discrimination, racism, bigotry, ableism and more. We join together. We lead by example. We learn from one another. We refuse to be divided and refuse to be siloed. My substack is about disability justice, but I’m passionate about helping all marginalized and oppressed individuals. I stand against authoritarianism and fascism. Against hate. Against division. I stand for love, compassion, inclusion, knowledge and above all else… Community. We can do this. <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspoli</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/authoritarinism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarinism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transrights</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discrimination</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a>

BroadwaybabytoI just had a guy get angry at me for saying we’re still in a pandemic. He said it was fear mongering and “silly” to continue to take precautions. He then went on to say his wife has Long Covid and he’s had Covid “at least 4-5 times”. This attitude is why we’re in this mess. His own wife was disabled by Covid, and rather than adapt his behaviour he’s exposed her 4-5 additional times. Repeat infections are devastating to those with Long Covid. Not to mention each infection does cumulative damage, and eventually you will be left disabled. Even if you’re someone who believes it’s “just a flu”… surely you recognize people didn’t get the flu 4-5 times in a four year period? Being sick that often is an aberration, and a darn good reason to take precautions. You know who hasn’t had COVID 4-5 times? People who are taking precautions. Bonus tip: If you’re masking and you become infected anyways, you’ve reduced your viral load AND you’ve made sure not to infect anyone else. That’s community care & compassion and it’s worth doing.<a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covidisairborne</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covidisnotover</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#longcovid</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronicillness</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sarscov2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sarscov2</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eugenics</a>

BroadwaybabytoIt took me over a decade to realize I was disabled.Internalized ableism is no joke. It can lead us to push our bodies and deny our reality.I was a sickly child my whole life - but we didn’t discover the reasons until I turned 30. It was validating to finally have answers. A name for my conditions, explanations for why I never felt well & why my body couldn’t do what other people could. Despite my now having validation and multiple diagnoses of chronic illness and disability - I didn’t identify as disabled. I was still working, still supporting myself… So surely that meant I wasn’t right? I was scared of what it would mean if I said I was disabled. Would people judge me? Think less of me? Would my non disabled friends distance themselves and would disabled people think I wasn’t “disabled enough”? I recognize now these were questions that were mainly due to my own internalized ableism. I was worried about these things because I didn’t understand dynamic disability.I was also grieving my health. Even though I was sick before the diagnosis - once they had a name and no cure I had to come to terms with the fact that I was never going to get better.I was likely the most functional I would ever be - and would probably lose function as I aged. That reality hit me like a ton of bricks and it took me a long time to reach a point of acceptance. An injury followed by a viral infection took my remaining function away from me and left me completely housebound.It wasn’t until a caring and compassionate doctor explained the concept of dynamic disability that I realized I WAS disabled and that I had been for many years. This good doctor encouraged me to write about my experiences to help others - and while it took me time to become confident enough to speak out - I’m so glad I did. The fact that I had so much fear of judgement, so much difficulty accepting reality only served to show me why we need more disability advocates. We need people telling their stories. It helps with acceptance of chronic illness & educates others on dynamic disability If Covid has taught us anything it’s that a large number of people still see the disabled as “expendable”.How many times have we heard “Covid is mild unless you have pre-existing conditions”. This has been the party line for the entire pandemic Many folks don’t realize that it’s rooted in ableism. To say it’s only dangerous for those who are already sick is to say that we don’t matter. That killing or maiming us is acceptable as long as the non disabled can continue to live life as though we’ve gone back to 2019 As a result many disabled and high risk individuals have been isolating for five years. Have been quietly exited from society to protect themselves. We started to re-enter the world when high quality respirators became easily available - but even that is problematic We get bullied from the “covid is over” crowd. They want us at home. They want us to not exist. Because we are a constant reminder of their own mortality and the fact that they are risking disability every time they get a Covid infection. But here’s the incredible thing I’ve seen happen in the last few years. The disability community are organizing. They may be isolated at home but they’ve found community online. They’ve galvanized around inspiring leaders with strong voices and are creating a movement. Not just for Covid caution & Long Covid but for the rights of disabled people across the world. For better access to healthcare, more inclusion and recognition of diversity and minority groups. Hashtags, campaigns and artwork have started taking off. We are getting louder Activism is more important now than ever before, as we face existential threats due to the changing political landscape.It’s a powerful moment for intersectionality. All of us who are marginalized can and should be working together to bring about change It’s a scary time, but I have hope whenever I see people speaking out. Sharing stories. Refusing to go gently.I’m glad to have finally stepped up and found my voice - and I hope that by sharing my story I play a small role in making the world safer If you’re disabled or chronically ill (or even if you aren’t sure) and you’re afraid to speak up - please don’t be. Speak up. Reach out. Share your story. There’s an incredible community waiting for you and we will lift you up and help you find your voice.Activism is important right now, but so is pacing. We must work to save our spoons amidst the torrent of bad news & stress we’re inundated with.“We are a community. We carry each other through the tough times.

The <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> i get! I block and move on with my life and I hardly bat an eye. It absolutely floors me when I’ll post something that has some component of “Hey, gentle reminder that not everyone can do X, Y, and Z which is why A, B, and C are super important” and I’ll get folks who will reply with some flavor of “Well I’m disabled and I have no problem with this so therefore everyone can do this.” Just…holy shit biscuits! You’d figure if anyone would get that everyone has different capabilities and different thresholds, it would be someone who is literally living that experience! Whoa…I just realized that I’m literally doing the exact same thing, just from the other side. Thinking that because someone has shared an experience that they must process it a similar way. Damn…I love that even though I’ll be 50 this year, I’m still open enough to new ideas to be comfortable with not being right all the time. I guess with what I wrote above, maybe it’s a lot like how some people that grew up being bullied say “never again” while others shrug and say “it’s not a big deal, I turned out okay.” Well…damn! I guess instead of venting my frustrations, y’all got to hang out with me and my stream of consciousness while I worked through that little mental snarl. I guess we all just process things differently and some of us are just more compassionate than others and that’s all there is to it. Good talk, I’m glad we had this chat.

Broadwaybabyto“We’ve been conditioned by society that pain is weakness. That being sick is something you can overcome by simply trying harder.”You can’t “try harder” your way out of disability. It’s not a weakness or a moral failing.It is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time. Ableism forces us to hide our suffering.
