What is unitypunk?

Unitypunk is a disabled subculture encompassing other movements like cripplepunk, neuropunk, madpunk, and pluralpunk, as well as other movements like the anti-psych, pro-delusion, and pro-self-diagnosis movements. It's focus is on building a single, disability-justice-focused coalition; a united face against all kinds of ableism

To this end, the movement rejects gatekeeping of terms and talking about experiences based on having the "right" diagnoses or the right "kinds" of diagnoses. It is focused on assuming good faith, on people's similar experiences being shared in turn as a way of saying "I understand, and stand by you", on pulling up chairs rather than building up walls.

This is partly in response to small but vocal minorities within the community who insist that their experiences are entirely unique to their diagnosis or type of disability, and that disabled folks of other kinds are not welcome in their conversations about disability justice. This flies in the face of intersectional anti-ableism, and as I and other physically disabled neurodivergent people have noted, often leaves us unable to talk about a full half of our experiences.

The foundation of unitypunk is that the brain and body are inextricably interconnected - all physical organs that are interdependent on one another - and that while for some the symptoms of physical and psychological disabilities may be entirely separate or different, for others they are impossible to differentiate or functionally the same. The gut is the second brain. The body keeps the score (of trauma). Where in your body do you hold your emotions? The mind-body connection. All commonly used phrases when talking about disability, all illustrating this connection.

A psychological condition may be physically disabling. Autism can cause significant mobility issues. Anxiety can cause cardiac issues. Something like agoraphobia may cause someone to become as effectively housebound as someone with mobility issues and an inaccessible door. A physical condition may also be psychologically disabling. Absorption issues in the gut, particularly in regards to vitamins D and B12, can wreak havoc on the brain. Thyroid and adrenal/endocrine issues are one of the first things tested when seeking a mental health diagnosis. And of course, chronic illness can cause depression, anxiety, and trauma. Whether direct or indirect, the effects are the same; a complexity to the manifestation of symptoms that cannot be neatly squared away into little boxes.

This movement recognizes that only by recognizing and celebrating the breadth and depth of that complexity will we be able to achieve true disabled community and solidarity. It prioritizes a united front over personal differences. You don't have to like the disabled person next to you, but we all have to put aside any petty squabbles and fight for each other, or go down together. This includes being intersectional and inclusive of all other identities, whether you understand them or not. This means not disparaging or writing off identities, and judging people for their actions, not their labels. It also means, while it's fine to make spaces focused on a specific aspect or kind of disability, that it's important to recognize that real life experiences are messy and won't always respect neat lines being drawn. This is especially true of the experiences of physically disabled neurodivergent people, who are multiply marginalized and deserve to have our experiences heard and respected.

The most important things you can do here are to talk, and to *listen*. This account, this *movement*, is just a starting line. The end goal is total disabled liberation, and the only way we will get there is marching together.

Radqueers: why they are bad

hi! welcome to my sideblog about radqueers and how much they suck. i do a variety of stuff here. my main account is @/rainbowfiedmysotiz, if you wanna go check that out. i use any/all pronouns, im a fem presenting agender, and you can call me mysotiz

i’m anti radqueer (of course), anti transid/transx, neu endo, anti proship, pro alterhuman, anti contact, and pro mspec monos. im also hazardqueer, voidpunk, alterpunk, traumapunk (my abuser is radqueer and that is mostly why i stand against this community), and an anarchist

radqueers obviously stay off this blog. i wont bother starting any long arguments with them because its not worth how obviously harmful their ideology is. this goes for queerphobes, racists, abelists (ecspecially if you believe in narc abuse fuck off), etc too. any gross people please shew

i have cptsd, arfid, general anxiety disorder, and suspected autism. i also have biid and imo transabled was stolen from us by radqueers, same with transpecies for alterhumans, and transracial for adoptees

also i do some term coining and flag making here if your interested in that!

enjoy your time here

#anti radqueer #anti transid #anti transautistic #anti transage #anti transharmful #anti transrace #anti contact #hazardqueer #traumapunk

So basically I made a "demo" for my non-existent Stoner/Sludge project.

In total honesty tho, it's just a bunch of sludgy riffs mashed together in a somehow listenable musical diarrhea attack-

So about this kinpunk thing folks are suggesting... Love it. Excellent. Top Notch. 10/10. Best idea we’ve had in a while.

II was inspired by @aestherians and others to create kintype inspired fashions of my own. These looks are based on bonobos (my theriotype if you hadn’t guessed.) I’ve mixed literal costuming, casual street wear and symbolism taken from the animal stereotype. For far too long I’ve heard the sentiment of “waaah you can’t be expressive it makes us look bad”. I find that incredibly dull and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. If I wasn’t a colossal pussy I’d be going out looking like a dr.phil guest on the regular. Some brave soul ought to get the ball rolling so I can join in. :P Although, I do own some of the items shown on these pictures such as the stilts and slogan shirt. I even used to have hair very much like that pictured a few years back. I was kinpunk before it was cool. ;)

Disability Pride Month Art Prompts!

I know we're nearly a week late with this, but we wanted to put these up! Feel free to tag us if you make art with any prompts on this list. Also, gentle reminder to only do what you can do comfortably and safely. If all you manage is a couplet or haiku for one prompt, that's amazing! If you can't do any of them, but looking at them inspires you to think about art and that makes you happy, that's wonderful!

Prioritize taking care of yourself, and be proud of WHATEVER you can do ^^

Now for the prompts!

1 Wheelchair

2 Autism/ADHD

3 Invisible Disability

4 Incontinence

5 Personality Disorders

6 OCD

7 Spinal Disabilities

8 Dysautonomia/Nervous System Dysregulation

9 Cane

10 Nonverbal/Semiverbal/Aphasia

11 Psychosis

12 Chiari Malformation

13 Skin Conditions

14 Schizophrenia

*An additional note: we know that blindness, visual impairment, d/Deafness, and being hard of hearing isn't always considered a disability, and want to respect that. As such, here are several alternate prompts for those days (or any other days you'd rather switch out!)

Delusion and delusion-adjacent labels, such as endel, capgras, cotard's, clinical lycanthropy, etc

POSIC+ identities and alterhumanity (not inherently disabling, but often related to disability and especially neurodivergence)

Aphantasia, Synesthesia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, or Dyslexia

Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders

Terminal Illness

Degenerative Diseases

Housebound/Bedbound

Happy Disability Pride Month, and may your good days be many and your bad days be mild!
