pansytram, to accessibility
@pansytram@mas.to avatar

This writing really changed the way I see accessibility features. It's not gonna tell you to use alt-text or how to go about writing it. Rather, it reframes the discussion of inclusivity and accessibility around a deafblind life, the shortcomings of assimilationist accessibility, and how deafblind folks have forged their own path in their communications.

Willamette Valley folks! This weekend, Corvallis, Oregon will be home to a real killer event! A hoard of wonderful folks and groups like No Bonzo, Detritus Books, PM Press, Crimethinc, Mid-Valley IWW, and many more will be tabling for the Heart Of The Valley Anti-Capitalist Bookfair. Plenty of informative events, workshops, and book talks. If you're in the Mid-Valley region, stop on by!

There will also be a memorial on Thursday the 18th at 6:00 PM (18:00) for fallen forest defender and wobbly Tortugita at Westminster House off Monroe. Come by and help celebrate a beautiful soul!

We're currently having an Arctic blast here in the Pacific Northwest and I just cannot stop thinking about the homeless folks who are going to die from the complete lack of shelter available in our state. In Corvallis, our useless city council has failed, for years, to meaningfully shelter and help homeless folks during harsh weather, or at all. So, Linn-Benton County folk, if you do make it out and about today, please help someone get to a warming shelter.

Fedifolk! The students at University of Oregon students have a venmo if you want to aid your comrades from beyond the campus! SJPUO is also documenting their encampment on Instagram, if you want to stay up to date with what's going down on campus. Same with Reed, Lewis & Clark, and PSU! Educate, unite, support!

Shel wrote a helpful writ on Zionism, its basics, its inherent violence, its stead in the occupation of Palestine, and how misunderstanding amongst the diaspora has spread.

I fundamentally reject any framing that paints self-immolation as a product of mental illness. It is an incredibly intentional, thoughtful act. Aaron was clear and principled in his protest. He was willingly not adjusting to a profoundly sick world, and commanding us to act.

it is not a coincidence that medinat israel's designated "humanitarian zones" keep getting smaller and keep getting bombed. that is, as i see it, nothing but intentional.

No More Freeways, a grassroots and community-funded 501c(3) organization, is raising money to be matched to total roughly $30,000 by the end of 2023, but they're a couple thousand short of their $15,000 goal! Please donate by midnight to help end freeway expansion in the Portland metro area! Oregon desperately needs a transportation revolution.

Feel it's worth saying that, as I see it, we're far beyond the point of asking for a ceasefire. It's time that even the moderate demands nothing short of liberation.

lol workers from Transit Worker's Union Local 100 refused to bus protestors from a Seder in the streets of New York to the precinct, so the pigs had to do it themselves. Power to the workers!

"But the purpose of lighting yourself on fire is not to encourage other people to light themselves on fire. It is to scream to the world that you could find no alternative, and in that respect it is a challenge to the rest of us to prove with our own freedom that there are other ways to meaningfully resist a society whose cruelty has become intolerable."

Absolute power and solidarity to the comrades holding down Camp Palestine at Portland State University. The love and support from these folks warms me like no other. I'm so inspired and deeply moved by the commitment, community, and power these friends wield. Please feel free to stop by and help with supplies if you can. Add your body if you can!

Hold the fort! From Chinook to Gaza, mobilize the Intifada!

Resistance is justified when people are occupied. Don't just mourn, organize and attack the machine.

Hamilton Hall was raided by the pigs on April 30th, 1968, a Tuesday. The students stood for justice against racial violence and the imperialist war. Now, on April 30th, 2024, a Tuesday, Hamilton Hall has once again been raided by the pigs, ordered to suppress resistance from students who are standing against imperialist genocide, here and now.

I think it's insane that the NYPD, one of the most militarized cop armies in the so-called United States, was given complete freedom to authoritarian violence on students for hours on end and then had the gall to tell the remaining students that they can now safely walk the campus.

Truly, every cop is a valid target. If this is how the state responds to the power of the people, we have no reason to be peaceful. We have no reason to empathize with the agents of the state.

@pansytram@mas.to avatar

100,000 Palestinians have been told to evacuate, the only legal crossing out of Gaza has been blockaded and closed, and the occupation's army is carpet bombing eastern Rafah while USians are caught up in a rich folk's fashion show.

But don't worry, this isn't the "Red Line" Biden had in mind, so it couldn't possibly be bad!

Hey IWW Central! I'll go back to paying "dues" when you go back to "do"ing stuff! Heyooo boom roasted

(Small text: For the purposes of this agreement "stuff" does not include threatening to ban people for sharing articles critical of IWW insiders.)

Like some of the "articles" in question... are pretty fucking stupid. [And also] you probably shouldn't threaten to ban people so quickly, simply for sharing them. Makes one wonder which parts of these stupid articles would inspire such a response.

@sidereal GHQ and some of the NARA branches have been so obnoxious and unhelpful too. Getting anything from them has become an insane chore.

pansytram,
@pansytram@mas.to avatar

@sidereal My branch and a few others have resolved to work autonomously of GHQ unless we have to involve them. It's just not worth the trouble to gentle-parent our continental headquarters.

I don't have much experience with the weird content policing within the IWW (I'm too lazy to use InterWob) but it sounds just so 💀.

pansytram,
@pansytram@mas.to avatar

@sidereal Very much to all of that, yeah. I'm hopeful about the IWW, but it is sorely in need of some humility and seriousness. Getting back to actually organizing with a working-class vocabulary would be a good start.

Amtrak holding onto their bilevels

pansytram,
@pansytram@mas.to avatar

I really do think that if Amtrak goes ahead with accessible bilevels (requiring elevators, as outlined in their concepts earlier this year; https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/amtrak-reveals-new-long-distance-trainset-concepts-at-accessibility-hearing/), the amount of maintenance is going to turn into an absolute nightmare when they start breaking down. I don't think the tech will be as sturdy as it needs to be. Single-level sets are a much safer, and cheaper, bet.

The pigs tackled, teargassed, tazed, and fired pepper balls at protestors at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Staff, students, and allies have been battered by the agents of state violence and arrested.
