Cutting benefits does not make disabled people able to work.
Removing remote work does not make disabled people able to work.
Accommodating people’s needs does however allow more disabled people to work and thrive.

In response to feeling isolated by chronic illness and appreciative of remote access to community, I host online Co-Resting Groups. They provide a way to gently socialize and rest in community.

I'm new to this app but I'm out here looking for my #mecfs and disability community. How does this thing work?

Nothing like the casual ableism of "You can do anything if you set your mind to it!"
No, I can't. It's not a limiting mindset to accept the reality of this body. My life is full of joy and pleasure and so much love. Radical acceptance of my body makes room for me to live fully and freely.

"A woman in Canada who was considering #AssistedDeath due to chemical sensitivities was able to find a new, safe home thanks to the kindness of strangers. And a veteran and #Paralympian asked the Canadian government for a #wheelchair ramp but was offered #AssistedSuicide instead" #CripCoop
"Hatch isn’t the only person who felt they had no other choice than death in Canada. An Ontario man who was facing homelessness applied for assisted suicide but changed his mind following an outpouring of support and donations." #RIPJennyferHatch #CripCoop

'Moving Mountains is far from a toxic positivity ‘nature is healing’ anthology. Instead, it spans many forms and many bodies, which are reflected in writing that takes different approaches.'

#DisabledCreators of all stripes!
Let’s work together in creating, marketing, selling, etc — @barrowmember.bsky.social and I are gauging interest in a #CripCoop — starting with collecting a list of wants and needs, which then would match with another coop members skills/abilities.
Interested?

Anyone else who's chronically ill/disabled read loads of research to understand their condition? Idea: we create an indie research Starter Pack as Alternative Health Service for people who can't access services: no unsolicited advice, as per #NEISVoid, & to avoid legal liability, but share research?

I see a lot of articles out there about how to date an Autistic person... but what about a guide for Autistic people on how to date allistics?

How to Date an Allistic Person
Sometimes even just talking with neurotypical people can be difficult-- let alone dating them! How can you manage a relationship with an allistic person? Let's discuss!I think I started "dating" when I was around 11 years old. I played a lot of MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games when I was a child, and my friends would ask to "date." These mock-relationships would blossom, as I aged, into relationships with classmates, friends in-person, and more. However, most of them fell apart because t

The Amazon bashing is coming back around.
I’d like to reiterate that yes, Amazon is evil, but it’s a very real tho inadvertent #accessibility tool for very very many of us.
Stop criticizing us for trying to live.

Hey disabled writers on Bluesky! Reply to this post with either:
1. The publication you're proudest of, something that's cool about it, and a link to read it.
~OR~
2. Something you love writing about. Can be the minutia of motorcycle repair, or as simple as "Dragons."
