Fallon, Tired [comms CLOSED]

Here's a tumblr post I found with additional information about what's been happening.

Here's another relevant thread

First, they're "known to be" and usually made fun of for being slow. Many disabled people are physically incapable of moving fast.

Second, most zombies are written and played to have a limp or whatever. A physical disability.

Third, zombies can take off any limbs (or said limbs can just fall off). That's anyone with a prosthetic. Whether a person is born without whatever limb(s) or they have that limb(s) amputated, a person could have a prosthetic they can take off.

Listen. Zombies are not disabled people. They are dead people. The horror of zombies is literal Death barrelling towards you.

There is a long history of abled people saying that we either are practically dead already or should be. There are parents who "mourn" their disabled children who are still alive. We are not dead yet.

Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.

Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.” (A decision which still has not been reversed)

Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.

Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors and parents left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.

Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.

Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”

Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.
