' Volunteering online for solutions to severe situations

I and a small group of others are volunteering every day online to coordinate community support and crisis aid for individuals affected severely by disability, marginalization, and environmental hardship who cannot find help anywhere else.

Each one of us is severely affected ourselves.

For a long time we have been looking for other organizations dedicated to doing the work we are doing out of necessity, but so far, no luck. (Yet, hope! 🌿)

We focus on being friends to one another, inventing new ways to get more of all our needs met, more effectively addressing conflict and suicidality by collaborating toward necessary situation change, and increasing safety for everybody in our communities.

We are looking for more people who are working on this, who want to work on it, and we are wondering why more people aren't.

It is the most effective way we have found to address the problems we are facing, often overlooked or denied by more mainstream volunteer organizations.

I and all of us would be very grateful for assistance finding other groups working on these same things, and to be connected with individuals who want to work on this.

Please feel free to message me or ask questions.

Please also remember that we are severely disabled and affected by extremity ourselves, seeking to find others who recognize these kinds of collaborations are needed, and doing this work in an effort to save our lives so far without the support of a larger organization.

Thank you for reading. '

' This is an exploratory THREAD about community medicine, how #AccessIsLove, & what #InaccessibilityMeans to abled & disabled people. '

🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱

🌱

Nourishing, supportive, consistent, relationship-building interactions with individuals surviving severe conditions...

🌱

...*innoculate* privileged, denial-afflicted ableists...

🌱

...against their own unfortunate experiences of destabilizing stress, life-threatening obliviousness, #AbledsAreWeird, confusion, paranoia, & unwitting cruelty.

🌱

These nourishing, supportive interactions are essential community medicine -- only available if one treats survivors well + respects disabled & marginalized people.

🌱

Without the kindness & respect of this community medicine, unwitting ableists don't understand why their lives are so difficult.

Their world is legitimately falling apart *because* it is disabling to individuals.

🌱

#InaccessibilityMeans the community medicine disappears -- not just for disabled people.

#InaccessibilityMeans the community medicine disappears for everybody.

#InaccessibilityMeans we have only scapegoats in its place.

🌱

All of this happens only because we lost track of how to care for human beings.

🌱

#AccessIsLove helps us remember again.

🌱

🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱

Please follow + support twitter.com/MiaMingus twitter.com/IntersectedCrip twitter.com/DisVisibility (#AccessIsLove), twitter.com/Emily_Ladau (#InaccessibilityMeans), & twitter.com/Imani_Barbarin (#AbledsAreWeird), the progenitors of these beautiful hashtags.

Thank you for making spaces for thriving.

🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱

🌱

Othering & exclusion are uncomfortable feelings -- but are eased by a sense of community safety & belonging.

For all people, #AccessIsLove.

🌱

#AbledsAreWeird when they inhibit their own functioning, safety, & recovery from hardship.

🌱

Able-bodied people feel othered & excluded only because they haven't discovered yet how to extend community to disabled & marginalized people.

🌱

That's the antidote.

🌱

It's a great antidote.

🌱

When we restore + support the community medicine of caring for one another...

🌱

...we find that a lot of things are easier than they were before.

🌱

Problems are solved more efficiently.

People are able to access their most personally healing, meaningful, & sustaining work.

🌱

We feel connection + relief.

🌱

This is medicine for communities.

🌱

If you want to be free of stress, Abled People, build supportive community relationships with Disabled People.

🌱

(What, you didn't think it could be that simple?)
