Still Smoked. Ableism? White Supremacy? Intertwined? Oh My!

Practical terminology

Oh Heck, RantWoman would be happy to begin with a reprise of some disability related points in a recent post.

--SO, we've solved Ableism? We know everything we need to about accessible meetings, alternate formats, technological and physical accessibility, access for people with different access needs to the same info? We know everything we need to know and everything is perfect just in time to tackle the point that people with disabilities are overrepresented in jails and prisons. OF course we want to use resources better for services and support, but we don't need no stinking committee anymore? RantWoman tartly notes that, aside from the LONG tenure of her own efforts to talk about disability, the charge of the AdHoc Disabilities committee was to run for a year from December 2019. That charge absolutely needs to be renewed.

RantWoman might want to throw in terminology like "reasonable accommodations, public accommodations,: vocational rehabilitation, andi-discrimination laws, and a whole glossary of feet on the ground, let's work on this practical stuff.

Ableism and White Supremacy Intertwined.

However, RantWoman, lucky chick that she is has also come upon the following item

Ableism and White Supremacy are Intertwined: Truthou

How do Friends think this article relates to say testimonies on Equality, Integrity, community?

How might addressing the themes presented here enrich the worship and community life at UFM?



A Third path

And for a third path toward praying together across differences, RantWoman highly recommends Joe Snyder Bible study. Details findable with the search bar. 


Currently, we are reading the book of Mark. RantWoman is glad actually to think different things on different days about the subject of disability in the book of Mark, Jesus frees people with disabilities of public scorn by the scandalous act of performing miracles on the Sabbath. Bible study sometimes looks at literary structure, sometimes at the different hues of meaning that poke out as words get shepherded from one language to another. Other meaingful moments get shared.
