The discourse just proves to me that starting at class is actually too far. We need to start with human dignity. 1) You are a human. 2) So is everyone else. 3) Your body will decay because it is nature. 4) Your contribution is not in work you perform, but relationships you build.
Marx is great for what he is, but socialist feminists have been pointing out for a long time that he did not address carework. Trying to cram Disability Justice into Marxism is a non-starter.

We are heartbroken to share the passing of one of our most beloved and valued advocates @Tinu. Tinu co-lead our #RealPainStories campaign for #PainAwarenessMonth. Tragically, she did not live to see the end of September.
For #PainAwarenessMonth my plan is to share #RealPainStories from the community as well as my own, led by @national_pain.
A story I forget to tell is how grateful I am for #ChronicPain communities.
Helps to have folks to vent to who understand, & drop the mask for a few.
Thank you @stevesilberman for all you've given this world. I found him when I was a desperate mother and all I knew was that experts said my son was broken, and he was one of the first voices that said he wasn't. Blessings to him and everyone who loved him.
Her husband took in a 16 yo orphan girl to tend to her and the children. And then married the orphan girl. My Gmother was devastated, but she had no options. She was sick, alone, and had 13 children. She died at 48 and her children were raised by the 2nd wife.
If you want to celebrate their pioneer spirit, take a big leap to get yourself free. Let that be what you take from their legacy. Brave the unknown and build a life they couldn't have even dreamed of.
