Welcome to c/disabled, an anticapitalist community for disabled people/people with disability(s).

What is disability justice? Disability justice is a framework of activism which centers disabled people of multiple intersections. Before participating in in this community, please read the Ten Principles of Disability Justice.

Do I count as disabled/a person with disability(s)? "Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Follow the Rules:

  1. This comm is open to everyone. However, the megathread is only open to people who self-identify as disabled/a person with disability(s). We center the experiences of disabled people here, and if you are abled we ask that you please respect that.
  2. Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
  3. Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
  4. No COVID minimization.
  5. Do not offer unsoliticed health advice. We do not want to hear about the wonders of exercise or meditation, thank you very much. Additionally, do not moralize health or "healthy choices".
  6. If posting an image, please write an image description for our blind/low vision comrades. (If doing this is inaccessible to you, DM one of the mods and we will help.)
  7. Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
  8. When it comes to identify-first vs person-first language, respect the language that people choose for themselves. If someone wants to be referred to as a disabled person, respect that. If someone wants to be referred to as a person with a disability, respect that.
  9. Try to avoid using ableist language. It is always good to be mindful of the way language has been used to oppress and harm people.
  10. Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct.

Let's kick back and have fun!

Hey comrades 💙,We were attacked here in the camp for being trans, and our shelters were burned. My sisters were hurt escaping, but thanks to your support, we covered their hospital bills .. you truly saved them.

Now we’re stuck in an unsafe spot with nowhere permanent to go. We’re trying to raise $700–850 to move into a small, safe apartment here in Juba so we can finally heal without fear. Here’s what we need help with: Transport: $100–150, Rent + deposit: $250–350 ,Bedding, food, meds: $200

Some hopeful news: Malaika was able to get her bandages changed, and Pretty’s swelling is going down. We’ve raised $102 so far, with $698 still needed. Every donation or share brings us closer to safety ..it means the world to us right now. Thank you so much for reading and considering helping us. Your kindness truly means the world. Mutual aid link is in my profile. Just tap my name.
