I think a great case and point example of this is that I feel the need to write this follow-up. Yes. I realize my privilege is showing by posting this. Yes, I realize that even though I am #disabled, I'm also white, male and from a generally affluent country and therefore probably have a lot fewer reasons to be unhappy/angry/tired/out of spoons. I get all that. And I'm absolutely not trying to police anyone's tone or content, I'm expressing a viewpoint that people may or may not share, I'm putting that out there for others to interact with, and I'm not all that interested in being proven wrong/being set straight/being taught that my viewpoint is bad. It's my viewpoint, it gets to exist, if you don't like it, you don't have to agree with it, heck block or unfollow if you want, I just happen to believe there might be some truth to WHY this is why people don't actually feel all that welcome here at times. I could imagine why in any case


@chikim @kevinrj @vick21 @JonathanMosen Yep because #ADA is supposed to also protect the disclosure rights and privacy of #disabled people, but airlines have already found a way to abuse this. This is exactly why we need to keep the issue about the impact of the discrimination and steer away from all the rest of the excuses and whining from some drivers and others.


hey so just to let people in the US know, if you are on SSI and have a disability that began before age 26 (46 as of 1st Jan 2026) you can apply for an ABLE account. this account will let you have up to $100,000 without losing your SSI.

Edit: per @MindmeshLink the requirements are SSI, SSDI, *or* a Doctors Note, if that helps!

Many spaces in #AmateurRadio such as #ARRL #Yaesu #WSJT-X either directly or indirectly tell #blind and #disabled #HamRadio ops every day that we just don't belong and we don't count through their ongoing and flagrant unwillingness to consider implementing even the most basic concepts of #inclusive or #universal #design principles in any of their products, programs or services. Let's all agree that it is long past time for that to change! #accessibility #disability #a11y


I wrote about #Project2025 (the frightening blueprint for a Trump presidency) and its impact on #disabled people, #disability rights, and digital #accessibility. Feedback always welcomed. lflegal.com/2024/07/project-20…


New @Lenovo laptops are coming soon with new accessibility features for visually impaired people. Listen to Graham Thomas from the company telling Steven Scott about the company's commitment to #disabled people doubletaponair.com/new-lenovo-…


This could be me and you if the US government allowed disabled people to get married without losing their benefits...

I find myself reaching out for #MutualAid once again. I thought I had 11 days to renew my phone number for the month, but I only have 9. I have to pay £9.49 by January 26th. Please support me with whatever you can!

My tribute to Andrés Gallegos, disability rights lawyer, national leader, hell of a nice guy, who died this weekend: lflegal.com/2023/12/andres-gal… #disability #disabled #DisabilityRights #HealthCare


On October 4 the United States Supreme Court will hear a case about who can file lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Opinion (not expected until 2024) may impact digital accessibility lawsuits. My article about the case is here. It includes links to the audio and transcript of the argument that will be posted. lflegal.com/2023/10/acheson-te… #accessibility #disability #disabled #a11y

#MutualAidRequest

My queer platonic partner Luke and I are both trans, neurodivergent, and disabled. We are currently homeless and living out of our van with our two cats.

We are in need of mutual aid donations to help us be able to afford food, gas, and other necessities, along with our phone bill on the 4th of $100.

My CashApp and Venmo links (handles:$magicalgrrrl/@magicalgrrrl respectively) and Luke's PayPal (@LouieSJ) are in my linktree: linktr.ee/magicalgrrrl

Please help a couple of homeless queers survive during #Pride month

Hi #Fediverse, we are an #LGBTQ family in the US who have just fled a red state, and are raising survival funds. Money donated this week will go toward groceries, gas, household supplies, and an emergency vet bill for our dog Loki.

Our fundraiser is currently at $7553 — we really need to hit $8553 by June 10th to stay on track. Every bit counts!

I’ve been on #twitter for years now, but checking out #mastodon because #musk. Any other #disabled or #queer ppl or #amquerying writers? I’d love to connect! Here’s a blog post I wrote about #querying. elise-scott.com/f/how-buttons-…


Dear @Meetup: Read this one too! overlayfalseclaims.com/ People everywhere count on #Meetups for connection and community. Don't exclude #disabled people by using an overlay instead of committing to true accessibility. #a11y


I was grateful for the chance to chat with Time Magazine last week about some the unique ways the collapse of Twitter is impacting its #disabled users. You can read the piece here:

time.com/6230469/disability-us…


#Disabled people and #spoonies, a lovely and very organised-sounding group of people on Mastodon have set up disabled.social - if you've been considering Mastodon, this might be for you.

More info here: mastodon.social/@PanickedFoodi…

They have a whole accessibility TEAM!


REQUESTING URGENT HELP;

If you know me from #Twitter you've been informed that my mom is abusive & ableist...

I'm an Autistic person requesting help to secure safe housing & pay for a plane ticket. A year ago I was planning to move for college, but gradually my mom has been financially trapping me. I now have no solid income atm & I cannot work or drive!
