“Disability may stem from injustice, but it is not itself injustice. To equate disability with suffering is to ignore the value of disability, disabled people, and disability culture.”
I live in the east tn. I just put my pride flag outside. Im shaking bc I’m scared.
I know the pride flags on the way to work always made me feel better and safe. They have me a smile. I remember seeing flags when I was closeted knowing I could feel safe there. Hell one house was across the street from some families house. When issues would arrive, I knew as long as I made it across the street, I would be safe. I could see it from the window. It gave me more strength and courage than anything else.
One house just took down their flag. I understand. It’s scary. But if I’m staying, I don’t want to stay in the closet.
I usually don’t share selfies on here, but I just wanted to show y’all my pride themed makeup I did for work yesterday, because y’all means all on this blog 🏳️🌈🇨🇱
“Queer organizing that works to move beyond recognition, inclusion, and rights and toward collective transformation predicated on a collective privileging of intersectional activism that seeks to root out systemic injustice is world-making.”
