I wonder if @CareCentrix understands how completely we are willing to go to bat for Cal, or just how loud the disability community can get. It should never have to come to this. #FreeCal
If @CareCentrix understood how important Cal is to us, would that make a difference? Do they rely on the assumption that disabled people won’t be fought for when they make these negligent decisions? We will not let this happen to Cal - but who else have they abandoned? #FreeCal
Let me be horrifically frank here - we have already lost heroes of the disability justice community this year to systems neglect. Not willing to lose another one just because @CareCentrix have decided not to do their job. Get Cal the support he needs to leave hospital! #FreeCal
Aussie friends - please help by tweeting at @CareCentrix to let them know we’ll fight all around the world to #FreeCal. Tag them and use the hashtag. They need to know they’re now internationally known for neglectfully trapping a disabled person in hospital during a pandemic.
If you’re up for boosting this @JessHealyWalton @carlyfindlay @bluntshovels that could help a lot!

Neurodivergent folks who want to learn more about hidden meanings - tumblr is not a terribly reliable source, but you know what IS useful? Books by linguists! Linguists are often talking about how implied communication differs across culture and subculture.
To get a sample of this, I think it’s often super interesting to start with the work of Deborah Tannen talking about “the New York Jewish conversational style” (which is not unique to New York Jews” or “high involvement vs high considerateness” styles.
It’s good to take a look at linguists rather than just looking at this through the lens of neurology/psychology. The way we communicate is so thoroughly influenced by the norms and approaches we grow up in - our communication is a cocktail of nature and nurture.

“I had leave, why am I not back to a normal level of work function?” I ask within 24 hours of running a memorial for a friend who died, finding out about the sterilisation in ICE facilities, & announcement of redundancies that might take my family member’s job.
My heart hurts all the time.
That actually isn’t true - it didn’t hurt all the time while I was on leave but I think that’s because I was more able to completely temporarily detach and also allowed to just not try.

It’s interesting how almost every default subreddit on reddit can tend toward being a lowest common denominator cesspool, but a huge proportion of the specific subject expertise/hobbyist subreddits are a joy reminiscent of the golden days of forums.
Sometimes I wonder whether people are just better to each other when we’re sharing specific knowledge from a perspective of presumed shared endeavour.
Also, anyone who thinks humans only work to access concrete resources has never met a forum moderator, or even just those folks who lurk subject forums to post multi-paragraph advice posts to help confused newbie strangers.

This is the attitude that would have fucking stolen 14 years of full beautiful life from my grandfather. He died in 2012, but people were telling us to give up on him since his first heart attack in 1998. He was essentially an extra parent to me through those years. FUCK this.
I talk about this often bc though I’m disabled, this - knowing my mum & grandma were repeatedly pressured to give up on him, mum finding out from a former student that some patients were taken off life support against their will - was the real beginning of my disability politics.
Ageism & ableism are intensely intertwined, & your political stance on other issues doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve grappled w either.

There was a while where my suspicion of the right to die movement landed like a lead balloon with fellow progressives, who saw it all as choice.

Just seen an academia solidarity strike being planned for a week & a half from now &
a) hell yeah but also
b) why do I suspect it had that level of lead time not just to gather support (hell yeah) but so academics could scramble to do-ahead the work they would have done
This is me as a complete outsider know-nothing to this strike, you gotta defer to the organisers who know their strategy, the date is probably an excellent pick. But I’m worried about what the planned 1-day-only “climate strike” protests have done to our understanding of strikes.
When you strike you SHOULD leave people in the lurch. A strike should be disruptive so that people FEEL the value of your labor when it’s withdrawn. If you’re gonna do the academia strike, don’t prep so hard for it that you may as well not be striking at all.
