SophieI will try to write some more posts during the #JulyIsDisabilityPrideMonth covering various topics around disability. Maybe I will put them together as a blog post later.
#JulyIsDisabilityPrideMonth, also for @gnome
As a small gesture against ableism and for disability rights, the GNOME accounts have changed their avatars to include the disability pride flag. Like the years before, apps.gnome.org has also changed its design.
GNOME is a political project that wants to make computers accessible for as many people as possible. That naturally means that GNOME supports its disabled users and contributors and fights for disability rights.
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth
Wait, disability ... pride? Why would someone be proud to be disabled?
One of the most important aspects of disability pride for me is to counter the shame. The shame of “being different,” the shame of “needing help,” the shame of “being a burden,” the shame from the humiliation and abuse I have experienced.
Disability pride gives me the chance to counter the shame by saying, “I am disabled, and I am proud to exist and be who I am.”
Pete Orrall (defunct account)Happy Disability Pride Month, everyone!
