july is disability pride month. it is also summer in the northern hemisphere, and this summer we have seen record breaking hot temperatures across the globe. it might be apt to remember that disabled people are a population vulnerable to extreme weather, and significantly more at risk of death or health issues during a heatwave. "the global mortality rate of people with disabilities in natural disasters is up to four times higher than people without disabilities." (source). disability may increase the relative risk of a heatwave more than old age, socioeconomic status, and being outdoors (source). even in the places most affected by the rising heat, disabled people are barely included in action plans for public safety, if at all (source). global warming is a an issue that affects a wide range of people, but let's not forget it is also a disability rights issue

This disability pride month, I think it needs to be widely acknowledged that

a fundamental principle of disability justice is being able to recognise when someone might be more disabled than you.

[plain text: a fundamental principle of disability justice is being able to recognise when someone might be more disabled than you]

It's easy to point at ableds who will refuse to acknowledge others disabilities, not notice inaccessibility, or cringe away from catheterisation, stomas, hygiene problems and all the troubles that come with disability. It's simple to recognise that that's not okay.

But sometimes within the disabled community people don't do that well. And it's hard because there are of course many people fighting the internalised ableism that demands they downplay their disability. But the answer to that is not saying "nobody is more disabled than anyone else". This is not true. This has never been true.

You will not be able to work towards disability justice if you can't recognise that not all disabilities are equal. Even two people with the same disability - two people with SCIs, two people with autism, two people with EDS, etc. - may have wildly different levels of difficulty. And if you can't recognise that, you're being ableist. I'm sorry, I know that might be hard for some people, but you cannot have any kind of real understanding of disability if you cannot acknowledge when you are more or less disabled than another person.

[hell-on-sticks]

Bringing this back for 2026 with a reminder that when I say it's a fundamental principle of disability justice, I'm not just saying that.

Disability justice is a framework and movement that builds on the disability rights movement, and has ten core principles. The second is "leadership of those most impacted" - being led by the people of our community who most know the subject and systems at hand. You can't practice leadership of those most impacted if you don't stop to consider who they are. You can't practice it if you aren't always ready to recognise when it may not be you. You can't practice it if you don't work to uplift the disabled people around you so that their voices can be heard.

This principle is what made the disability rights and independent living movements so powerful. We remember names like Judy Heumann and Ed Roberts as figureheads of these movements (with their work not limited to the US), but one look at their work shows they deliberately and always put in the work to uplift others in their community. From community consulting to practical assistance to recognising that we all have different needs that we deserve to have met - as simple as just waiting for someone to finish their sentence if they speak slowly, and not demanding everyone meet arbitrary communication standards - they understood that there is no disability fight without a deliberately built "us" to fight together.

If you're someone who prides yourself on advocacy, being a voice for the disabled community, fighting for equity: make sure you aren't fighting alone. Make sure you're remembering the disabled people around you, and make sure you're noticing when there are people missing around you and why. This solidarity doesn't mean "shut up". It means bringing together diverse experiences so people can be heard together.

The park where they found Tonea Miller hanging from a tree is literally 10mins from my house. This shit is getting sicker with every passing day. People don't hang themselves at a park on vacation. She was lynched!

[hell-on-sticks]

I think maybe not enough people in disability spaces think about what it's like to need the assistance of a carer.

It's a different experience for different levels of need. Some of us might need only low support, or support with specific tasks. Others need higher support, and there are many disabled people who need assistance with most or all daily tasks.

Dependence is a scary thought for some people, but for many it's a part of everyday life. Some level of dependence is common for disabled people, and needing carers or support workers is not as uncommon as people think.

Disability conversations often don't discuss carers, or don't allow people to bring their carers into the conversation. Some people may need assistance from carers or support workers to be in a physical place for community. Some might need help using online spaces like tumblr. Some might need help communicating. Carers are a part of life for many and talking about carers is important.

Carers can be positive, supportive and good relationships. But can also be stifling or even abusive. Care is complicated, and people should be able to talk about it.

I can only talk about my experience of lower level care. I invite people with formal support workers and full time care to share.

Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness

It's about to be Juneteenth I hope non-Black people have a couple grand to give to every Black american from the south, and I'm not even close to joking.

[fluoresensitives]

juneteenth tomorrow! If you have ever laughed, chuckled, nodded in agreement with any of my posts, went 'ooh wow' at one of my playlists or moodboards, or if you've read any of my work and said, "damn, this Black southern icon can WRITE", you can go ahead and drop some money in my account. I'm currently in between checks, so any amount of help would be nice. But also search your soul and consider what evils non-Black people have done to Black people just this month alone, and try to match your donation to the amount of psychological damage done to the average Black southerner, thank ya!!

I come on tumblr to ask critical questions like why are my black friends starving while white women get away with villainizing us, and why on gods green earth in a mutual aid safe haven would you ever think the first two problems are unrelated or inconsequential.

I get pissed off when I see @heartpdf s dono posts. And @chilewithcarnage and @sharkboyry and @angelsaxis and many others just floating in the ether waiting for others to care for them as white girls who hate us eat good as fuck.

I think of my own light skin and my visible anger and while I am blessed by tumblr, I also think of how much there's seems to go around.

Mutual aid shouldn't just be your charitablity I think. I think you shouldn't follow me because I absolve you of something. Let me embolden you towards the users above today. Manifest some radical aid as an act for reparation and revenge for us.

god forbid Black women have fun

[gothhabiba]

Black woman invents or popularises a phrase -> it enters the vernacular and circulates widely amongst Black and nonblack people -> people removed from the phrase's initial context read it too literally, do not interpret it with sensitivity, assume that the ideas expressed when people use it are shallow / "over"-sexualised / problematic in some way or another that mirrors their feelings about Black people as a whole -> there is a backlash where a supposedly more 'thoughtful,' 'subversive,' etc. alternative to the initial phrase is offered, implying that the initial phrase contained none of that complexity within it -> rinse & repeat
