If I didn't do nothing forever.
And there's going to still be annoying people at work. But the world would be accessible to everyone. Workers would eat the fruits of their labour. Without shareholders. But shared with the people who can't, won't, don't, refuse, decide not to work.
Image Description
A messy bed with a duvet, the bedding is a dark grey.
This poem is dedicated to all my disabled friends, siblings and lovers. I love you so much and wish nothing but resources, rest and play.
Content Warning: mentions of ableism, transphobia, elder abuse and child abuse
If I didn't do nothing for the rest of my life
I would still be enough
Deserving of dignity, safety, love, attention and respect.
And freedom.
Freedom not like you know
Freedom like 100% harm reduction
Freedom like a world scourged of ableism
Freedom to do as I please
Regardless
Because whatever it is
It will be accessible to all
Regardless
Always
Continuously
Constantly increasingly
A universe of accessibility
Universal accessibility if you like
Freedom like
Worker owned co-ops pushing the limits
Using all our efforts to make the entire world
Entirely safe
For every single last person
Every single last person
Regardless of what they did or didn't do
Deserve accessibility
Space ever expanding
Ever reducing harm
Not interpersonal conflict
Not mistakes
But 100% harm as in abuse.
As in abuse is simply not tolerated
And abuse is to us as drilling holes in peoples head to cure a headache
Absolutely unthinkable
Like a big fat
Eh no.
No, we don't do that anymore
No, we are committed to ending social hierarchies
That's not the wave
We don't determine peoples worth by their assimilation into the mono culture
That's really disgusting
It always leads to fascism
And fascism is pure evil
So we don't lynch trans women
We don't abuse elderly people
We don't traumatised disable children with conversion therapy.
No no no
You just don't do them tings
That kind of freedom
When you're not concerned about physical violence
Like literally at any given moment
You know its highly unlikely because
Ew
Freedom won't be free of disputes and disagreements
Neighbours will still argue over land
Teenagers will still be like that during puberty
And there's going to still be annoying people at work
But the world would be accessible to everyone
Workers would eat the fruits of their labour
Without shareholders
But shared with the people who can't, won't, don't, refuse, decide not to work.
Resources are shared equally
Regardless
Regardless
Whether I did everything or nothing at all
Because person existing
Existence is enough
By my sheer existence
I am deserving of dignity, safety, love, attention and respect.
And freedom.
