Hi Kolektiva! #introduction

I'm Isaflora

I grow stuff
I make things
I love deeply

My heart is in the mountains, hands in the soil, with my comrades, fighting for a future we have yet to see

I love to read, cook, and make herbal remedies for mutual aid!

I'm here to divest from big tech corps, learn more about FOSS, and connect with folks who dream & move towards our collective resilience.

Black agrarians to the front!
We need a black farmer emoji

The organisation my wife volunteers for has finally moved all its volunteer training online.

It's very clever, very cheap & extremely unfreindly.
The login initially assumes you are on the organisation's payroll and located within its premises and on their intranet - once I'd worked out how to get around that, it appears that it's impossible to stay logged in to do several courses at one sitting - you need to log in each time.

I'm not sure that the training itself has been run past any disability checks - Sacha has a degree of dyspraxia and she has really struggled with the training websites.
The manager is dismissive - the attitude comes across (meant or otherwise) as 'you're only a volunteer, so what?'

She's seriously thinking of giving up on the volunteering that she really loves and - I believe- does make a difference to a number of young lives. It's very niche - there's no alternative for her to move to.

URGENT please help my severely #disabled friend evel & xen's family flee the country! the recent US executive orders directly affect them . anything helps!

HI, I'm El! I'm a disabled traditional artist!

You can see all my artwork on my website: https://poesu.lovestoblog.com

Help me out with my medical debt (I need to pay for my medication): https://ko-fi.com/poesu

@lgbtqia @actuallyautistic

If this is a "PAY RISE" then I would like to know what OTHER "Jobs" have:
24/7/365 hours as STANDARD for 52 weeks annually; ZERO time off; Home Imprisonment; Acceptably Constant & UNREENTING Torture... AND you're never EVER EVER ALLOWED TO QUIT.

Well. Unless you die.

Maybe.

I gotta make recording easier for myself, especially with my spoons these days. Most days #fibro wears me out before I can get started.

As much as I love capturing guitar and voice at once, I think I gotta start doing more overdubbing of the two separately, and I'm struggling against the shame of doing so as a folkie. I'm sure I'll get over it.

Fellow #DisabledMusicians, please drop your tips for music-making.

What are your favorite "accessibility red flags"?

In other words, when you first access a website, device, service, physical space, etc., what is something that immediately warns you, this won't go well for some disabled people?

I'd love to hear various perspectives, so please boost if you're willing.

These protests by hundreds of thousands in the streets of so many cities across the US against the destruction of US democracy by this fascist thug in the White House don’t fail to amaze me.

What a beautiful sight that is to see from Europe as a queer disabled person!

Please don't back down!

I got your back!

Demanding #disabled people just "Work" doesn't mean they SHOULD - or that it's the RIGHT or BEST thing to do...
It also helps if there ARE actual jobs around in the first place

The #pixel_dailies theme today was #wheelchair.

I knew that I wanted to work on a symbol this time, so I researched the history of the now ubiquitous #disability symbol ().

My entry today is a rendition of an unsuccessfully proposed disability symbol, originally created by the organisation "Open Doors for The Handicapped".
