A group of people with intellectual disabilities in Japan has created and published an online dictionary for teaching others about election-related terms and the steps to vote. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/18/japan/politics/people-with-intellectual-disabilities-election-dictionary/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #disability #2025upperhouseelection

From the Disability Visibility Project:

"Immigrant Rights Are Disability Rights"

https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/07/13/immigrant-rights-are-disability-rights/

"… a true commitment to justice for disabled people must recognize that many undocumented immigrants are themselves disabled and deserving of basic rights, not total erasure from the disability rights discourse."

Please don't ignore me! Im so close to achieving my goal, when i have the full amount i will be able to make an appointment and i will post proof of cost etc once i have the glasses. I suspect the price will be a little more than what im asking for but I'll cover the rest, i just don't have the bulk of the cost due to being in abject poverty.
If you cant contribute, please boost, i need to update my glasses in hopes it will help stop these constant migraines I've been getting. Thank you for reading and sharing!

During the California farm raids, ICE attacked a person in wheelchair.

Proving once again that they’re no more than modern day Brownshirt bullies.

A canister of tear gas had been thrown at the disabled man and landed underneath his wheelchair, making it difficult for him to move.

Jonathan Caravello, a lecturer in philosophy from California State University Channel Islands, tried to defend the man in the wheelchair.

He was reportedly piled on by multiracial IVE agents, tackled and arrested.

His crime? Trying to protect a disabled immigrant.

We just keep sinking to new lows.

I want to say thank you to professor Caravello for doing the right thing and standing up for someone who’s was unfairly put in harms way.

He’s a hero.

When children with disabilities in Japan graduate from special education high schools, the support services they have relied on are abruptly discontinued, leaving their parents in a difficult position. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/09/japan/society/special-education-children-after-graduation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #disability #specialeducation #jobs #children #parenthood

I used to jump through these hoops, but I just jump to level 5 these days because I'm legitimately so tired of this bullshit and I don't feel I need to sugar coat my words to make someone feel better when their abject disregard for their fellow humans disgusts me. These people include my family members who know that I am at risk and ignore it completely. And no, i'm not CWing it because enough with people burying their heads over it. I often wonder if the biggest symptom of covid brain damage is the loss of empathy and how our actions affect others, but sadly it's probably just the reality of selfish humanity.

If you don't mask, you need to accept that you are an ableist who doesn't give a fuck about anyone, including yourself, but you especially give the finger to any disabled person you know.
