Blerf. $24,000 to keep a roof over my head. (Or, more accurately, to replace the one that's on the verge of collapsing.) Guess I'm going to spend my summer trying to up my crowdfunding game... https://spoonstack.org/support.html for my current links. I'll do something more formal once I can catch my breath and recover a bit.

When a society and culture prize domination and control, ableism is not only inevitable, it will unavoidably be considered a virtuous thing - if value comes from the ability to coerce towards one's will, then inability of all kinds will by necessity be treated as lesser. Because of this, anti-ableism and liberation are inextricable causes. We cannot attain or practice either one without also embracing the other. Scrabbling over who gets to be in control merely reproduces logics and pattern...

A sad consequence of living in a deeply ableist over-culture is that when we have to say things like "I can't do that right now," it can feel like some kind of personal failure. Especially when the thing in question feels big and important to our personal values. But truthfully? From my perspective, having enough wisdom to recognize and honor our own limits is priceless success, every day of the week.
