Black + Native disabled Two-Spirit seeking community support this pride month so they can take a fuckin health break

Me again ❣️ so I’ll get right to the point, I really struggled to keep up with work all of May & have severely neglected my health to just barely make it happen. On top of managing my physical disability, I’ve had some very grim schizophrenia moments triggered by recent racist exps with my family that I’m still trying to cope with. I’m super unwell, I cannot recover from this & work at the pace required rn.

I write poetry + do pick a cards & weekly readings on patreon, and I want to put a pause on the latter this month so I can have the time + energy to do things like go to the doctor.

I make about $350/month from my readings, so that’s all I’m hoping for. I wanna continue to write & offer reiki sessions to anybody who needs it as a way to give back- for every $100 raised, I’ll take at least 3 clients for reiki regardless of whether or not u donated! Black LGBTs will take priority, if you’re interested just dm me or send me an ask n if there’s free space then we’ll talk :•) here’s a link (from the school where I was attuned + certified !) for info if ur unfamiliar !!

Ways to support: my writing + patreon; reading reviews + patreon (there will be some readings sporadically this month + u can still access all the older posts ofc!); heartemojie on cashapp + venmo (no paypal currently it’s $15 in the red 🤪)

Thanks I love you happy pride !!

If you are able to, please donate to Indian Residential School Survivor Society!

So whenever your disability pride flag is shared on tiktok, ive noticed people asking why do disabled people need a pride flag, or saying that we dont deserve one because we are "co opting" the gay pride movement... and i am honestly at a loss at what to say to them

Okay, then: here's some Disability Pride Talking points for you, when you come upon that assumption:

First: The Disability Rights Movement gained steam in the U.S. at the same time as the Civil Rights Movement was advocating for racial equality, and the Women's Rights movement was advocating for gender equality -- all in the same decade as the Stonewall Riots.

Second: it may seem like Disability Pride Month is "copying" Queer Pride Month, because July comes right after June. But the reason we celebrate Disability Pride Month in July is because that's when The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed: on July 26, 1990. This was the first Disabilities Rights act in the world. It was followed in 1995 by the Disabilities Discrimination Act in the U.K., and in 2019 in Canada.

Third: on April 5, 1977, the (American) Nationwide 504 Sit-in (Wikipedia article) began, to protest the fact that three presidents in a row had been stalling for four years to implement Disability Civil Rights legislation. Disability advocates staged sit-ins in Federal Buildings for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and Seattle, San Fransisco, and Washington D.C..

The sit-in in Washington D.C. lasted 28 hours. The Sit-in in San Fransisco lasted 25 Days, and remains the longest occupation of a Federal Government building in U.S. History (It was epic). The civil rights group The Black Panthers also helped with logistical support.

The police tried to force the people inside to leave by cutting phone lines, forgetting that there were people who knew American Sign Language both inside the building, and outside, in the crowd, and they relayed messages back and forth through the windows (excuse me while I take a Cackle break).

Finally: Disabled people are human beings, and deserve all the human rights as everyone else. But a lot of people in authority, look at our lives from the outside, decide that we already have a low-quality of life (without actually asking us), and deciding that it wouldn't be so bad if we died. You know, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in this country, it was a fairly common policy that if hospitals ran low on ventilators, they'd just take them from disabled people who needed to use them every day? Remember that?

That's why we have to get loud.

Bill that would add Indigenous languages teaching to all New Brunswick schools wins all-party support

All MLAs on legislative committee back bill proposed by Green Party's Megan Mitton

A bill that would require New Brunswick schools to teach Indigenous languages to all students has won unanimous support from a committee of MLAs.

Members from all four parties voted on Tuesday afternoon in favour of the bill, which was introduced last month by Green Party MLA Megan Mitton.

“There’s a long history of Indigenous languages being systematically excluded from our public school system,” Mitton said during the debate.

“This is an opportunity for the revitalization of Wabanaki languages in our public school system.”

The bill would add a requirement for the teaching of Indigenous languages to a section of the Education Act that already requires the teaching of Indigenous history and culture.

it makes sense but i still feel attacked

took a quiz thing and it gave me my d&d stats. the question is now, is this good or bad

soooo fox news are trying to create what’s essentially a hotline for parents to out lgbt educators and lgbt kids in school situations and im not saying that you should flood it with as much cursed images and gay shit as possible to make it impossible for them to receive any actual messages that may threaten peoples livelihoods….but also the email for it is in the linked tweet…. soooooo…. 😚✌️
