The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read “The Miracle Worker”- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; she’s not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- “overcoming” disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. There’s no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isn’t is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatant racists, she was speaking out against Woodrow Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported woman’s suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.

Yet when we talk about her, it’s either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. It’s not just offensive, it’s downright disgusting.

the reason the story stops once helen keller learns to talk is no one wanted to listen to what she had to say

how’s that for a fucking punchline

National Aboriginal Day

I don’t know if ya’ll heard but Burrard bridge is being closed down in Vancouver on June 21 (National Aboriginal Day) for several hours… For, guess what? “International Day of Yoga.” They’re promoting it all over the news… It’s sponsored by fucking Lu Lu Lemon.. God forbid they recognize the actual holiday they’ve “coincidentally” set this up on. God forbid they care about Natives on the news. When was the last time they shut down a bridge for Aboriginal peoples to celebrate a day that belongs to the minuscule amount of Aboriginals left in this country? Hahahha.

What fucking disrespect.

We can’t have this one thing? This one day? No? Ya’ll have to take that too? Just like our lives, our land, our resources… I see.

Fuck you, Christy Clark And fuck your 7 hour bridge yoga bullshit.

Caitlyn Jenner being called a hero has been eating at me. She had plastic surgery to be female and MANY people have done that. It’s already an accepted thing in the US, so it’s nothing special....

Still Not a Joke — Good Awareness Campaign From Just Detention International

goodbyesocialconstructs

What if your kid went to jail for trying pot, something that is very probable if your kid is black and living in a state like Texas. Does that mean they deserve to be raped? Does that mean that they should live in conditions that go against all human rights?

Most prison rapes are committed by prison staff. Even if you are heartless and do not care about the prisoners, remember that these prison staff rapists go home to their nice houses in the outside world. Remember that they are your neighbors, maybe they even have babysat your children. Remember that as long as some victims are dehumanized and ignored, many perpetrators will never be caught. And yes, these perpetrators do pose a threat to you and your family. Prison rape, rape in general, is everybody’s problem. And definitely not a fucking joke.

The idea that prisoners “deserve” to be raped is part of rape culture. Rape is not a punishment. It can not be earned. It is a crime every single time, no matter what, no matter who the victim is.
