#spoonienet

Oh gosh, I’m so sorry love. That’s awful. I hope you know that you are ALWAYS supported here! We love all of our spoonies of any sexuality. Have you tried talking to her about it? I know it can be hard to change opinions, but sometimes education is really what is needed to open people’s eyes. 

I am so very very sick right now. Like, pain is bad bad bad. But I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to build community. This has come up in my living situation, where some folx are not on the same page about racism and white supremacy, and how to build our community to be safe and prioritize POC.

So for y’all, for my community on tumblr, what does it mean to build a loving, safe space for spoonies, cripplepunks, disabled folx, building a support and resource sharing network, where we talk to each other, build each other up, and express the realities of being disabled, share our joy and bitterness, all of that! As well as recognizing and embracing and uplifting all the intersections that live in our community.
