[THREAD] I'm an artist. Every time I see a new donation towards the legal fund to save @crippledcommie's disabled relative from an abusive guardianship, I add an update to my drawing. The urgent goal to secure an attorney is $10,000. Donate here: gofundme.com/f/23zgqzzd00
For an idea of the potential of this new drawing, here's the what my previous fundraiser drawing looked like in the end. 😁 Let's do this thing!
Can you please make a succession of donations to save @crippledcommie's disabled relative, even if they're teensy, because this pic is at the annoyingly ugly stage, and I need to move it out of there! Will probably take at least five nudges before it starts looking pretty cool.
Yaaaaay! An anonymous donor has broken the spell! Please keep donating to save @crippledcommie's disabled relative from an abusive guardianship! Donate here to see the next update: gofundme.com/f/23zgqzzd00
Just $6 short of $9,300. Lemme give you an ant's eye view of the next update, which is ready to post after the next donation...
Just noticed something cool. There have been 200 donors, but 230 donations, which means some people have donated more than once. I think people realise that there is just no way, given how society is (badly) designed for disabled people, that this could be addessed without money.
Yeaaaah! Another donation! Thank you, O Mysterious Person!
What these people are advocating is child abuse. I know the way they put it doesn't sound bad, but this is about a very controlled, clinically callous form of manipulation. I'll drop some more links below so you can understand the context.

Why is it so hard for people in the field of ABA to improve the field, even with the support of autistic activists? One of the reasons is this:
Powerful people in the industry will try to destroy you for listening to autistic people, for trying to do a job compassionately, and for calling out the abuse.
I'm going to ask Jennilee Sunshine, a BCBA, whether I might tell her story here verbatim. It's already public on Facebook.
Vladimir Putin's standard modus operandi is to make agreements and then demonstrate his power by breaking them with impunity.
Any suggestion that Ukraine should negotiate a settlement with Russia is borne either out of ignorance of this long track record, or out of ill logic, naïvete and stupidity (like, "I know, but I'm sure it won't happen again") or straight-up support for Russia.
Ukraine must WIN this war. Its allies are wasting time, money and lives, and strategic opportunities by holding back the support that's needed for victory. Ukraine has more than proven itself to be deserving.

Content warning: ABA, child abuse
The following account was posted in an ABA survivor group. I have permission to share it to ask what this person can do to stop the abuse.

"I have step kids that are currently in the custody of their maternal grandparents. Dcf is involved and put the youngest in ABA (I have no say in her care as of now, and neither do her parents)."

"When I was over at their house most recently, I heard her crying and went to go see what was going on, her ABA therapists pulled me aside and told me we were now ignoring her when she cries until she calms herself down and uses a happy voice."
