The belief that only some bodies get to choose is rampant

Trans people
People getting abortions
Immigrants
Queers
Women
Children
Intellectually Disabled people
Black people
Poor People
And on and on

All told their liberty must be removed for their own good. They clearly can't be trusted with it.

We are still stuck in this 1800s mindset today. Instead of doing away with all forms of body hierarchy and designing for liberty for all we simply shrunk the pool of people who we believe deserve to have their right to choose removed for their own good.

This is body hierarchy. And it wasn't just the proslavery people who thought this way.

"Abolitionists perpetuated the notion that slaves needed guidance because they did not have the capacity to determine their own best interests." -2024 Lamar Hardwick

And it's not just race, it's also gender, class, age, and more:

"all negroes require masters, whilst only the children, the women, the very weak, poor, and ignorant, &c., among the whites" need "protective governing"

All these people were considered unfit to choose for themselves

Race was always disability in disguise

Proslavery arguments focused on "the weak"

"It is the duty of society to protect the weak;" but protection cannot be efficient without the power of control; therefore, "It is the duty of society to enslave the weak." -1851, Fitzhugh

This comic slide from β€œwhy you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine playfully gives reasons of why to wear a mask using a Monopoly board. Each square represents a different reason to mask, from protecting yourself and others to protecting yourself from other airborne virus. Dice and game board pieces are scattered around.

Artist Gillian Levine recently wrote and illustrated a comic sharing reasons to continue masking in 2026. She kindly gave us permission to republish it.

"smartphones are killing education"
education has been intentionally strangled by the us government for decades, no child left behind actively forced schools to teach only to the test and that means rote memorization, the WORST way to learn ever devized

this is the system working as intended

@dreamwisp.bsky.social It was great to meet you at the DCC event today! I would love to ask you about funding a disability focused video game. I have applied for a few grants but I don't have an extensive network to leverage.

Hey fellow queers! You wanna protect the community now? No? You don't actually give a shit about people with HIV anymore? Cool cool cool

People who can afford to.
People who aren't disabled and who's medical needs don't surpass a certain dollar amount a year.
People who can leave their families and support structures behind.

Yeah same. I don't eat indoors except at home. I mask everywhere. I even made new friends because we were both masked on public transportation.

I have got to be the only person who was simultaneously homeschooled and was in public school. I learned material really fast and that was my mom's solution.

This article immediately labels @emilymbender.bsky.social and I as "curmudgeons" because we don't think that the spicy auto complete has a concept of the self.

The IRS needs a leaderboard.

The top 3 people who paid the most money in taxes get to be lauded. They get medals. We all interview them and tell them how cool and world changing and genius they are. We put them on cereal boxes.

In modern genocide, they make the ovens portable. 2842 lives.

"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons...capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."
