I’m so goddamn tired of the ableism from all sides. My god. Who the fuck cares if he stumbled getting into a truck? He literally wants to defund schools that teach about slavery and put immigrants in camps. Maybe instead focus on, ya know, the fascism, you absolute ghouls.

My solidarity goes to victims of extreme weather events & climate change induced disaster in 🇵🇭,🇪🇸 and elsewhere. Older persons are disproportionately affected, and their needs have to be addressed, starting by age-specific data collection shorturl.at/6CmET

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

"Sure, #aging poses many physical challenges, and it all becomes more difficult the older we get. But thus far, nothing I’ve experienced in mid-life compares to the absolute body horror I endured as a younger woman." Sari Botton @Oldster oldster.substack.com/p/on-the-path-…

I write @DisDebrief to put a “disability lens” on world news. For me this means connecting lived experience with wider issues of policy and activism.
