[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 Image
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!
The first donation, the one that kick-started the new drawing, was made by Samuel Crehan.

Want to see the drawing evolve? Then make a donation to @crippledcommie's fund for their abused relative. 😊

Thank you to the anonymous donor!

Just a little over $700 to go!

Keep donating! gofundme.com/f/23zgqzzd00 Image
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.
Dear People of the Twittersphere

You're forcing me to reappear Image
Not as an artist as you know it

But as some unrefinèd poet Image
All because it's getting late

And I still (yes, still!) await Image
The hour or the later date

When someone will donate. DONATE!

As you see, the drawing's boring

Therefore I am now imploring Image
Those with valued currency

To pay a little random fee. Image
Truth be told, though, while I'm joking

Liberty and rights are choking
Twenty dollars, ten, or five

Could help somebody live and thrive.
Do thing thing and you will see

The hope appear, and with it, glee.

Gah. That wuz lotsiv typostakes.
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 Image
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!

Keep donating! gofundme.com/f/23zgqzzd00 Image

My friend had some kind of medical emergency. When paramedics came and took her to the hospital, she had an autistic meltdown. They then called the police, who put her into restraint for 9 hours. She's now being sent home on a bus without treatment. Normal for the UK, apparently.
They tasered the patient.
9 hours, strapped down in pain during all that time, no medical treatment.

Been chatting to someone who's been an autistic activist for about 20 years now. Lots of conferences, long history of writing about autism, but doesn't know any nonspeaking autistic people in his country as they "tend not to mix at conferences". DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM?
If you're autistic and you've been doing conference and writing gigs for two decades and the nonspeakers are not mixing, it's because YOU didn't seek them out, YOU didn't advocate for communication access, and yeah, I understand that you may have other advocacy priorities, but...
Who in your country is going to prioritise this, and in what decade do you expect them to start thinking about it?

I'm doing an emergency fundraiser for @crippledcommie. If you donate $75 or more, I'll compose a song for you using your lyrics or you can tell me more or less what it should say and I will write the words. This is my piano. An example of a song which I composed follows below. Piano keys, a hydrangea, and the words Your Own Song written
I'll provide an audio-only version of your song as a sound file. If you prefer something instrumental only, that's fine too.

Here is an example of a song which I composed. Ignore the low-res pic, this is just to give you an idea of the music.

You'll find the lyrics of that song below it on YouTube.

Friends, everybody, Americans and others with strong currency, can you PLEASE donate ASAP? This is desperate. People with communication disabilities are among the most vulnerable people in our community.
Please donate here. At our exchange rate, it would take me YEARS to earn this money, but if 100 Americans give $40 each, this will work. Please help out.

A good way to make sure nobody speaks against ABA is to reduce people's ability to say what you don't like.
With the right supports for the various communication disabilities in autism, we could have a lot of nonspeaking autistic people communicating. Here's a thread with approx. 100 nonspeakers who have something to say.
