   I'm absolutely baffled as to why you read it as items addressed in the ADA when I did not once mention the ADA. I mentioned communities and what people are willing to do for disabled people and to work with disabled people.

   My post is NOT about the ADA. It's about Leftist groups and our communities; how they can center accessibility to make their actions and events more inclusive for everyone.

   My post literally covers actions and requests that go far beyond parking, ramps, and ASL interpreters. Maybe reread it? Because I'm not going to repeat it. I don't have the spoons for that.

   I'm a disabled person so I am well aware of what "legally" ADA is supposed to cover but often fails to do so.

   It's why I'm calling on communities and the people within those communities to step up. We can't rely on the government right now (disabled people often fall through the cracks anyway). This is why individuals within our communities need to work with us disabled people and build up stronger support networks that way.

   I use the disability justice theory of "Spaces" to break apart the different aspects of accessibility to help people better understand all the many different ways accessibility can be built and/or be acted upon. I tend to go farther than some theorists by breaking it down even further. Mobility Justice by Mimi Sheller is what gave me the idea of spaces, as she writes about transportation space, physical space, and information space.

   Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha also discusses spaces in her book Care Work: Dreaming of Disability Justice.

   Both books I highly recommend reading. I'm out of spoons now, so I'll stop there. Thanks!

   I make it look easy, but it really isn't.

   Scaling a whole platform up to 600K users in a week isn't for everyone.

   My secret weapon: DigitalOcean. The best fediverse hosting provider hands down. (Until we launch one 😉)

   To be clear ...

   For me, Never Again means for everyone.

   My father was a WW2 veteran. What he experienced in that war both broke and transformed him as a human being.

   He had been raised in the sticks, in a part of the country not known for progressive racial views. He saw the ugliness of racial bigotry with his own eyes, and wanted no more of it.

   And he passed his values onto me.

   I stand with anyone who believes everyone has a right to exist, and not only to exist, but to truly live.
