Make Pride Accessible For Everyone!!!!

Text reads "Disabled people belong at pride". three people are illustrated, one person is a tall girl with white skin and blonde hair, with ear defenders with a trans flag around her shoulders, the second is a girl with dark brown skin, big curly hair with a white cane, the third is a man with light skin and lots of freckles, wearing a yellow shirt and holding a blue walking stick in his left hand side.

text reads "but access is more than a ramp". two people are illustrated walking to the right. one is a girl with dark brown skin, an Afro, wearing a black denim jacket and using a grey crutch. the person walking with her is a white girl with light brown hair, wearing a yellow jumper, using a purple active wheelchair.

text reads" it's also quiet areas for people with sensory sensitivities". illustrated us a femme person with a purple mullet wearing a green hoodie. they are holding a progress pride flag and sitting on a brown chair, looking off to the side.

text reads "Braille, audio descriptions, high contrast, and descriptions,". illustrated is two people looking at a large sign which says "the history of pride". on the left is a man with albinism, wearing glasses and a blue and green jumper, holding a device with headphones on. next to him is another man with brown skin, purple tee and a ace flag around his shoulders.

text reads "Masking and covid testing where possible.". illustrated are two women, one of a woman with brown skin, wearing a yellow crop top and a blue mask, with a pan flag around her shoulders. next to her us a woman wearing a green hijab, a denim jacket and a lesbian flag mask, using a red rollator".

text reads "enough accessible toilets". illustrated is the back of someone, who has short red hair, sitting in a standard manual wheelchair, waiting for a disabled accessible portaloo.

text reads "and plenty more things that can make pride accessible and enjoyable for disabled people. price is supposed to be inclusive for all, so why do we exclude disabled people".

Make pride accessible for everyone!!!!

I made a post about this last year and the year before, and thought if I did it this way it gives people and orgs something to work towards. Often people forget that disabled people aren't just wheelchair users, and even those who are, need more than just that ramp!

My first ever pride, not only as a wheelchair but my first ever EVER pride, I went in expecting to feel at home.

Obviously I wasn't, I'm disabled, so why should I?

Instead there was just a ridiculous amount of uneven flooring, a steep ramp to the disabled toilet, no sanitary towel bin in the disabled toilet (???) no allowances to be let out of the festival to fetch things from my car, no where quiet and organisers who seemed genuinely surprised to see a wheelchair user!

My next pride, three years later, I was a seller, and while they had sorted their toilet problem (still no sanitary towel bin???), the hill to get in wouod have been genuinely impossible for me to get to if I hadn't been driving to get my stall in anyway, even with someone pushing me, no quiet areas, plenty of kerbs for me to get stuck at and again, genuine surprise.

Why is it so surprising to consider disabled people might be at pride? Not only do queer disabled people exist, but parents and family of queer kids and people, vendors and even entertainers!

Making pride accessible is crucial!

🚨EMERGENCY🚨

Hello, I am Nasser from northern Gaza, a dentist. On October 7, 2023, the war on Gaza began. My clinic and home were destroyed, and we are now displaced in Rafah. We live in a tent without basic necessities. I have lost my source of income for 7 months and we urgently need help.

We have decided to leave Gaza to start a new and safe life. We cannot do this without your assistance. Your donations will help us secure shelter, food, and medical care. Please help us escape to a safe area and start a new life.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
