Have not used this account in a while because I have been on the other non-hellsite. There are so many places to be, and with so many ways to be online again (which is good? imo) or at least to feel like there are, it takes a little like finding the good cushion, the best seat, again.

Yesterday we lost Judy Heumann, a disability rights activist to be reckoned with and a blazing light that showed so many disabled people (myself included) to fight for what they deserved and more. This one really hurts.

‘By changing Truth's words and her dialect to that of a stereotypical southern slave, Frances Gage effectively erased Sojourner’s Dutch heritage and her authentic voice. As well as unintentionally adding to the oversimplification of the American slave culture and furthering the eradication of our nations Northern slave history.’

Why is there more than one version of Sojourner Truth’s famous 1851, “Ain’t I a Woman” speech?

On the misrepresentation of Sojourner Truth’s speech by the white abolitionist Frances Gage, and research to represent Sojourner, her heritage and an accurate portrayal of her words.

Read the most accurate version of Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a woman” speech. And hear it as she would’ve sounded, in her upper New York State low-Dutch accent.  Sojourner Truth’s original “Ain’t I a woman” speech.

Saying it outside of my small inside spaces, but I did not like Tomorrow and Tomororrow and Tomorrow at all! It was not well written and I was weirded out and a bit mad about the disability representation (Sam’s entire personality seems around being mad about being disabled and then his non-disabled friends telling him to feel better?). I was hoping maybe it would be nice to have another type of book about games.

‘In this forbidden landscape lie the ruins of the craft, labour, and humanity of those who built it. Like turning over a complex and considered piece of embroidery to reveal the chaos of overlapping threads, broken patterns and knots that show the history and path human hands took to create it.’ @tigershungry on her work The Grannies and revealing the magic trick of virtual worlds https://www.acmi.net.au/stories-and-ideas/smoke-mirrors-magic-virtual-worlds/
