Sovereignty and Autonomy: An Addendum on Kings and Queens — Re Gwaltney

I’d like to explore a particular facet of the King and Queen tarot cards just a little bit more. Both encompass a large degree of mature, personal power, but they direct and express it differently. W...

I love how we continue to celebrate advancements in technology and accessibility while not providing the benefits of such things to disabled people. Maybe, things should change.

Oh my gods I'm SO surprised.

As artificial intelligence proliferates in American life, new research finds that the technology is poised to amplify stereotypes about people with intellectual #disabilities. #AI #ChatGPT #Claude

The disability community needs allies. We need people to understand we’re in the middle of a eugenicist cull. When Dr Fauci publicly declared the vulnerable would “fall by the wayside”, he was fueling the fire. He deemed people like me expendable Acceptable casualties to achieve “back to normal”

We will be ready to have a real discussion about Covid when we accept the fact that “the vulnerable will fall by the wayside,” said by Fauci, under Biden, was eugenicist policy.

I look forward to the day when we can accept a person's gender identity with the same air as accepting a person's favorite color. Where ALL accessibility aides are as normalized as glasses, the most common. Mamdani gives me hope for that future. The rest of the government, not so much.

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Although it's a lil embarassing it took this long, I'm happy to announce that I finally added alt text to every image on my website that I could. I'm still trying to figure out if there's a setting that lets me do it for blog post images. Working on it!

Is it about drugs? Is it about disability? How about we spend some time obsessing over a word and seeing where we go? Part of a journaling series I'm starting to think a bit deeper about the words I use. Chronic seemed right for #DisabilityPrideMonth #blog #amwriting regwaltney.com/blog-writing...

Obsessing Over Words: Chronic — Re Gwaltney

The first in my series where I deeply overthink a word or concept in order to improve my writing. Today’s word: CHRONIC. What meaning does it have? What tones and themes? How can it be used outside it...

Jessica Kellgren-Fozard urges LGBTQ+ allies to 'listen' for Disability Pride Month (EXCLUSIVE)

Social media sensation Jessica Kellgren-Fozard has urged LGBTQ+ allies to “listen” while marking Disability Pride Month 2026.

Came across a woman with learning disabilities who had been effectively locked out of the playstation she owned because it presented her with a QR code for age verification. She couldn't play the games she bought nor talk with her overseas partner in-game. She was in her forties. #disabilitymonth

I genuinely respect and want to support all my fellow authors in this really tough time for artists. Thing is, I can't just not comment about how we shouldn't be using #AI when I'm seeing people use it. Boldly, brazenly, out and proud, making jokes, sharing snippets, AI cover images, seeking advice.

Disability assistance accounts for a tiny fraction of government funds and so everyone trying to push even more austerity on it is simply disgusted at the idea of peasants who dont toil in service to them being allowed to eat.

So the social security fund that keeps millions of people alive based on their decades of paying taxes into the system is due to be insolvent by 2032. Unrelated: y'all remember that $70 billion that went to ICE recently?

If you've been waiting to donate until things were the most urgent and dire that they've ever been, now would be an amazing time. *lolsob* gofund.me/49a4a2dbd

Speaking Directly: Always engage directly with the person with the disability, rather than going through their companion or interpreter.

JSYK one of the subliminal social tactics of AI rn is to reframe every conversation away from "should we use it" to "how should we use it." This is to make us think the former is a foregone conclusion. It is not. WE CAN DESCIDE TO STOP USING THE EARTH-KILLING IDIOT BOTS IF WE WANNA.

Well, now not only do we have AI misdiagnosing us and leading to denied care, but we've got AI offering to draft up letters of appeal for medical denials. They've got us coming and going #fuckai

Disabled people shouldn't only be consulted after decisions have already been made. I've written an open letter about accessibility, inclusion and why lived experience should help shape policy from the beginning. #Disability #Accessibility #Journalism

Alexithymia is knowing your heart is breaking but being unable to feel more than a quiet hollow in your throat, a soft pull in your gut. Then you get to wait, wait, the hours or day or weeks until it hits.

Does anyone realizing how fucking scary it is to be a disabled person while whole medical systems are onboarding AI and LLMs into their patient care? Did anyone ask us about it first? Of course not. Not only do I hate AI for all the environment destroying, suicide-inducing shit, but it gets worse.

Accessibility should be built into everything from the VERY beginning of the process. It is elegant and useful for more than 'just' (as if we're not worth it? We are) disabled people, too. Universal access as a design practice helps EVERYONE.

ACLU@aclu.org · 4w ago

1 in 4 people in the U.S. have a disability. Accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought.

True story. And since I'm in the US, I get to pay for it too. #disability

Author Melissa Whitney, who is blind, is refuting the argument that there’s no HEA in her romance books because her FMC is still blind at the end of the story. She’s right to push back because that argument is hogwash. #Disability #Romance 1/4

Hale Zukas and the Rolling Quads insisted that disabled people should control where they lived, how they worked and what services they received—a philosophy later encapsulated by the disability rights movement's rallying cry: NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US

Tarot is really good for anger management. The mix of meditation, introspection, and journaling helps you think clearly. Even if one of the cards is just "yeah you hate it here." #witchsky #tarot
