#supportdisability

MARK YOUR CALENDARS 📅 We have been hard at work behind the scenes! We are so proud to offer our first fundraiser in the form of an auction! We have some amazing donations from local Alberta businesses who we cannot thank enough for their contributions. It is them who will make this such a success. Watch for more posts on specific items info from the donors & the link when for the bidding to open.

It would be great if you could share this or make a donation... just to be super clear this is a repost but I’m going to make a comment first. Society has a problem it expects #disabled people to work for free. It’s a complex issue so I’m not going to get into it but I will say this it’s the reason I don’t support The M!ghty - they don’t pay contributors. They are not alone in this. There is also a problem that many specific ‘disability’ #publications are not actually written by disabled people - this is a problem with representation. As an example imagine being really excited to look at the latest issue of Chess weekly (I made that up) you open the magazine and discover it’s written by people who don’t know how to play chess... it’s a problem. So please support #TheUnwritten I personally think it’s a great idea and something that is really needed right now. (Don’t ask me what the text in the image says no clue but I would guess it’s the same as the text I’ve copied below) Repost below: Posted @withregram • @rachel_is_dunn Terrified and excited to share this, but for the past few months I've been building an online publication for disabled people to share their stories without them being reduced to inspiration or trauma porn. . Before I launch I want to ensure that I can pay every writer what they deserve. If you can help I'd really appreciate it. Click the link in my bio to go to the Patreon or PayPal writers pot and give what you can. . If you're not able to contribute it'd really mean a lot if you shared about it. . #disabledwriters #supportdisability #disability #disabledlife #disablednotinvisible #disabledrights #disabilityactivist #disabilityawareness #spoonielife #spoonie #fundraising #supportsmallbusiness #gimmemoney https://www.instagram.com/p/CH8M1HxBAKO/?igshid=1c94xwivuou9d
