When I was in Havana this summer, one of our working groups discussed how to make resources more accessible for survivors.

My suggestion was to get rid of or extend time limits to arrive at appointments. We KNOW that trauma impacts executive function & since time mgmt is part of this… #accessneeds
Oh. Because I definitely run on "queer standard time" and "disability standard time"... and I've heard it all rolled into "minority standard time"... and no yeah wow, this actually makes that make sense as a unifying concept.

We got a donation of $50!! Can I find two more people to give $25?

If you're angry about politicians asking for donations, why not donate to people who they are neglecting?

Competence wanted, sympathy theater not wanted. Needed: practical collaborators for disability advocacy, coordination, transportation, technology, paperwork & logistics. Useful response = action, authority, timeline or connection. #DisabilitySupport #DisabilityAdvocacy #AccessNeeds #disabilitysky

Competent support wanted from people comfortable with complexity, ambiguity & persistence. Listening first, understanding constraints, then acting beats generic advice every time. #DisabilityJustice #AccessNeeds #MutualAid

Seeking people who can tolerate nonlinear problems without reducing them to inspirational slogans. Complex disability needs require patience, precision, coordination & action. #DisabilityJustice #AccessNeeds #DisabilityAdvocacy #disabilitysky

Actual support needed, not motivational theater: help navigating systems, making calls, handling forms, coordinating care & solving concrete barriers. Competence beats sympathy. #DisabilityJustice #AccessNeeds #MutualAid #CripSupport

Complex disability needs require infrastructure, not inspirational slogans. Looking for people who can coordinate agencies, appointments, transportation, technology, paperwork & advocacy without dumping the labor back onto disabled people. #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #MutualAid #disabilitysky

People with unusual competence welcome: disability advocacy, bureaucratic navigation, research, tech support, coordination, accompaniment & practical problem-solving. No performance required; capability required. #DisabilityJustice #MutualAid #AccessNeeds #disabilitysky

Seeking support that increases agency rather than creating another assignment. Useful help means taking on concrete friction: calls, forms, transport, scheduling, technology, coordination & advocacy. #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #DisabilityJustice #disabilitysky

Looking for humans who can convert empathy into logistics: research options, contact institutions, organize information, troubleshoot technology & keep momentum. No saviorism, pity or unsolicited therapy. #MutualAid #DisabilityJustice #AccessNeeds

Recruiting unusually capable support: people who can listen, understand complex constraints, take concrete action & follow through. No unsolicited self-help, toxic positivity, liability scripts or dead-end referrals. #DisabilityJustice #MutualAid #AccessNeeds
August 15, 2026 at 6:01 AM
Disability support needed at the operational level: calls, coordination, transportation, forms, technology, advocacy, appointments & follow-through. No saviorism, pity, unsolicited self-help or performative empathy. #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #MutualAid #disabilitysky
August 15, 2026 at 6:38 AM
Seeking disability-competent support without the usual ideological fog: no infantilization, victim-blaming, toxic positivity, projection, DARVO, gatekeeping or behavioral-health substitution. Concrete assistance is the requirement. #DisabilityJustice #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #disabilitysky
August 15, 2026 at 6:38 AM
Seeking collaborators in survival logistics, not spectators. Research, paperwork, technology, advocacy, coordination & accompaniment all matter. Intelligence plus compassion plus follow-through is the target. #MutualAid #DisabilityJustice #AccessNeeds #disabilitysky
August 15, 2026 at 6:04 AM
Looking for practical allies who can handle a high-complexity situation without demanding simplification, positivity or repeated proof of need. Competence means listening, researching, coordinating, acting & communicating clearly. #DisabilityJustice #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #disabilitysky

Good intentions are insufficient when executive function, mobility & bureaucratic barriers collide. Seeking capable humans who can reduce friction through concrete help with logistics, advocacy, technology, paperwork & coordination. #AccessNeeds #DisabilitySupport #MutualAid #disabilitysky
August 15, 2026 at 6:37 AM
Needed: people who solve problems instead of performing concern. Practical help with disability logistics, advocacy, coordination, transportation, technology & paperwork. No unsolicited advice, scripts, gatekeeping or dead ends. #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #MutualAid #disabilitysky
August 15, 2026 at 6:36 AM
Competent accompaniment matters. Disability barriers often become worse when every service requires another intake, form, call, ROI or explanation. Seeking people who can help carry the coordination burden instead of adding another layer. #DisabilitySupport #AccessNeeds #SystemsChange #disabilitysky

A groundbreaking bill is set to empower ASL interpreters by allowing them access to the same collective-bargaining rights as their spoken-language counterparts, addressing critical workforce shortages and representation gaps in California's courts.

Committee advances bill to let ASL court interpreters join collective bargaining
AB 19 16 (Li) would update the statutory definition of certified court interpreters to include American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters so they may participate in existing collective bargaining; committee moved the bill to appropriations after testimony highlighting acute ASL interpreter shortages and access gaps.
