Special Books by Special Kids is the most important channel on YouTube. Chris Ulmer and Alyssa Porter's decade-long project interviewing neurodiverse individuals and people with disabilities has created a more inclusive world through radical equality, unconditional positive regard, and the belief that all communication is valid. On the channel's origins, its tangible impact on real lives, and why treating disabled people with dignity is ordinary rather than heroic.
Today is Changing Places Toilet Awareness Day - an annual event to raise awareness of Changing Places Toilets which offer enhanced facilities for people with profound disabilities. Those of you who read my days out posts will note that I usually include the availability of a Changing Places toilet in the accessibility section. Whilst I...
This mutual aid checkpoint roundup gathers urgent requests from the week, including direct appeals and Palestinian campaign spotlights. Support what is possible, contribute where able, and circulate the original requests so help can move beyond exhausted circles.
355/560 — 205 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 4 days 🥹 I appreciate all kinds of distribution, really. I do really need help.
353/560 — 207 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 5 days. Monthly pledges help ease the instability that comes with disability and having no fixed income or healthcare, though one-off support also helps immensely.

Support helps me stay connected and continue my work in mutual aid, political writing, and advocacy. If you have the capacity, I appreciate any support. If not, please help amplify this far and wide. Thank you, thank you https://wrzky.com/links

348/560 — $212 left to cover May essentials. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed so far I’m disabled with no healthcare or fixed income, and I need ongoing support to stay afloat. If you can spare at least $5/month, it would make a real difference. If you prefer one-off support, that helps just as much....

My experience with fibromyalgia and how fast it disabled me
Yet another critcism of capitalism making us slave away for a broken promise.
My personal exploration of schizoid personality disorder and neurodivergence. From King Crimson's prophetic song to global youth withdrawal phenomena, I examine what it means to live with a rich interior life and limited social needs, challenging pathologizing frameworks and questioning whether 'poor outcomes' are about the condition or the metrics.
ableism hasn't gone away — it's still present
Growing up alongside Adventure Time over fourteen years, this academic analysis explores Finn's permanent amputation as a radical moment in children's animation—examining fatalism, trauma, prostheticization, and the cultural discomfort with non-normative bodies through disability studies theory.
