YOU. GET MORE ANTI-SLAVERY NOW.

[storyweavingspider]

Californians voted not to abolish slavery in 2024 because it’s “not economically feasible”

But also beyond that and prison abolition, unofficial (and in some cases official) slavery still exists both in the US and globally. I’ve met multiple Black people, myself included, who have been “functionally” enslaved to specific individual whites even if there wasn’t a legal contract making us their property. In my case, she not only raped me, beat me in public and private, otherwise abused me, controlled my finances so I couldn’t escape fiscally, but also literally hunted me down when I tried to escape her on foot with nothing but my clothes and would use threats of police violence to coerce me into sex and other shit with her.

It’s not just prisons. It’s not just human trafficking. It’s not just capitalism. It’s not *just* colonialism/imperialism/white supremacy. It’s all interconnected and built off the backs of systems that enable slavery and genocide NOW and people simply won’t care unless it makes them sad or affects someone they know personally.

Disability is a Racialized Concept

“The relationship between Blackness and disability is especially important to investigate, because it explains so much about how we ended up where we are. Just like prisons and policing are related to slavery, so is the way we think about disability…(Dustin) Gibson discusses the 1840 census, which was the first time there were questions about both disability and race

That census says that the majority of free Black people were “insane” and “idiotic”, to use their language, while saying that the majority of people that were still enslaved were sane. So it’s creating this idea that to be free and Black, and to have the urge to want to be free and Black, is deemed to be a mental illness.

There was even a medical diagnosis for slaves who had the overwhelming urge to run away: drapetomania. This shows that medicallization has always been a tool of white supremacy in the United States.

Race—and specifically Blackness—has been used to mark disability, while disability has inherently “Blackened” those perceived as unfit. Black people were—and continue to be—assumed intellectually disabled precisely because of race. —Work in the Intersections: A Black Feminist Disability Framework by Moya Bailey and Izetta Autumn Mobley

In other words, white supremacy means that Black bodies are seen as inherently disabled, and disability is inherently bad. Ableism and racism are often used as pretexts for each other, which is why it’s so important that we use for the intersectional approach that disability justice calls for.”

love the camera guy even gets to bump into a mirror for us

[athelind]

Okay, I love everything about this hall of mirrors:

Traditional mirror mazes are dark and creepy. This one is brightly lit, and colorful.

The triangular grid makes it that much more disorienting.

The pillars help to obscure the difference between the mirrors and the openings -- so it doesn't NEED to be dark.

All of this combines to make it much more fun and entertaining and much less "I gotta get out of here before Mr. Dark drags me off to the soul-sucking carousel".

Haha I love the transfem tag being infested by porn bots. Hahahaha

[morganitism]
