This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:

* Low wages, no savings, high working hours, high housing costs 

* 2024 Budget submitted: Tax revenues increase by 2 billion 

* SYRIZA: That’s all, folks

Greece has the lowest average annual wage in all EU countries and ranks last with a negative figure for disposable income. According to the OECD, the country is 3rd from the bottom in average wages among 35 countries and has the 7th highest average working time. It doesn’t sound good, right?

The 2024 budget was submitted to Parliament. Some extra 2 billion are to be collected from taxes, while very little extra funding is provided for hospitals and education. Also, public debt is expected to drop to 152.3% of GDP in 2024 from 160.3% of GDP this year (It was far lower when Greece was told it should go under structural adjustment, remember?)

SYRIZA is ‘game over.’ The main opposition party is disintegrating as nine more MPs, an MEP, and dozens of members from its institutions are breaking from the party. New leader Kasselakis isn’t doing well at all, and it’s also depicted in polls.

The UK Labour Market looks strong but is the cost of living crisis now hitting employment?

This morning’s release has just about brought us to a corner on what turned out to be a road a lot straighter than it looked. A sort of economic equivalent of an optical illusion. In the latest quarter, total actual weekly hours worked increased by 16.3 million hours to 1.05 billion hours in January to March 2023. This is 0.2 million hours below pre-coronavirus pandemic levels (December 2019 to…

Layoff Mod by Twinsimming 💼❌

This mod is inspired by the layoff feature from The Sims 4: Growing Together, reimagined for The Sims 3.

This is a script mod that can be placed in your Packages folder. It was built and tested on 1.69 but should work fine on 1.67.

Overview

Getting Laid Off

Severance & Unemployment Benefits

New Moodlet

Getting Laid Off

Sims YA and older who work in rabbithole careers have a 2% chance of getting laid off from their jobs at the end of each work day. If a sim is laid off, they will get the custom Laid Off moodlet and be offered severance and/or unemployment, depending on their career level at the time of the layoff.

Level 1: No severance or unemployment benefits

Level 2-4: Only unemployment benefits

Level 5-7: Severance and unemployment benefits

Sims at career level 8 or higher, self-employed, or in active professions will never be laid off.

After a sim is laid off, they cannot reapply for their previous career or any other career available at the same rabbithole until the Laid Off moodlet expires in one sim week.

Severance & Unemployment Benefits

Severance is offered to laid off employees who previously held a career level of 5 or higher. The lump sum payout is determined by the following equation:

((Base pay per hour) x (Hours worked per day)) x kDaysOfSeverancePay (default: 5) = Total Severance Payout

Unemployment benefits are automatically given to laid off employees who previously held a career level of 2 or higher. This is a once a day payment of §50 (tunable), lasting until the Laid Off moodlet expires in one sim week or your sim gets a new job; whichever comes first.

New Moodlet

Laid Off: Given when a sim is laid off from their job, lasts 7 days, -50 mood, makes sims stressed

Tuning

All of the tunable values can be found on the mod download page under the header “Tuning”.

Mod Recommendation

I would suggest using this mod alongside Gamefreak130’s Job Overhaul mod, for an extra challenge in getting a sim back on their feet and back into the job market following a layoff.

Conflicts & Known Issues

This is a new script mod so there shouldn’t be any conflicts.

Sims will get the Fired moodlet and fired notification when laid off, but those can be ignored.

would you consider what kanade does as self-employment? if not, does that make niigo the group with the highest unemployment rate prior to the 3rd anniversary (counting mmj as self-employed)?

kanade is not self-employed as N25 does not make royalties from their music (to my knowledge). MMJ (and now WxS) are freelancers which means they are self-emplyed (legally freelancing and self-employment are the same thing although there are some differences between how they work).

Before the anniversary only one member of n25 had a job (mizuki at a boutique) while every other unit had at least two people with jobs. They now share the lowest employment rate with VBS, since Akito and An quit their jobs, and Mizuki quit their job offscreen. No one in VBS or N25 has a job now.

[mcromwell]

Ayo! New follower here. I love your art and your mind set of just messing around to make cool stuff. but I’ve also seen you love been to at least one convention (I didn’t scroll far enough to see more about conventions) and I wanted to ask. How you did it? I really enjoy making art and I would love to make it a career so this boils down to :

how did you do it? And how can I do it too?

not just like first steps but what happens after that? I’m young enough that if this doesn’t work out I have plenty of time to look into other careers before worrying about paying for rent or necessities with money from my future occupation. I know that everyone’s experience is different but I still hoping you can give me a somewhat clear answer.

thank you for inspiring me

(sorry this ask was so long)

Hello there! Thank you for your message.

These questions are large and hard to answer. Being more specific in your questions helps. "How I did it" is very... large in scope. That question could be answered just by saying, "I did it by never wanting anything else and never losing sight of my goal." But that doesn't help you much. So I'll just try to touch on some key points and contexts.

I'm 32. Only in the last couple years has my practice been enough to make a living doing it. I've always wanted this and literally everything I've done in my life has been to get here. I've worked two jobs my entire working life (age 19-now): retail/customer service and art stuff on the side. Because of the pandemic, I got double unemployment and stimulus checks, which became my initial investment into merch and savings safety net to get started. I started therapy to address my fears of asking for help, my negative self-talk, and catastrophic thinking. (Therapy has helped me with my art so much.) Then I was laid off for real in 2020 and hit the ground running with art. I split rent with roommates, I live very very cheaply, and art is my passion. If art for a living is what you want to do and you're happy to make lots of concessions to get it, this career works. It takes a while to get momentum and regular sales/attention-- just don't quit. The more stuff you do the more people will recognize you and like your work.

It would be dishonest to not address my privilege here, too. My parents have always emotionally supported my practice, my friends too, and I got to go to art school with no debt. I did outside of school art mentorships. My art education experiences taught me a lot of art techniques and self-employed skills and that only happened due to the support of my folks. I had resources a lot of people don't. (Which is why I want to help new artists learn this stuff as much as I can; not everyone is as lucky as I am.)

My advice for you if you want to do what I do, which is being self-employed making and selling art and art merchandise for a living:

Get used to making concessions right at first. Your art career will probably not start out gangbusters, so get used to low sales and saving money and working hard. Make things within your means and grow from there.

Fuck around and find out. Try making merch, try making videos, try things you see other artists doing, try everything and see if it works for how you like to make stuff. I learn so much from YouTube, to be totally honest. Artists are good sharers.

Follow a shit ton of artists and see what works for them. Join artist groups and ask thoughtful, specific questions to learn from those already doing it.

Learn how to write about your art. Write about why you make it. It helps make it more compelling to others. "How to Sell Your Art Online" by Cory Huff is a good book to read for tips on this.

Develop a healthy relationship with art-making. If you sit down at a blank page and it terrifies you: address that first. Don't try to start a business if you're still struggling with making art regularly.

In fact, don't start a business until you're really ready. Art comes first. You can easily do art and build skills and do commissions and run an online shop along with working a job that pays bills reliably while you grow into the artist you're meant to be.

Don't pigeon-hole yourself into only one channel: don't JUST apply to cons, try street fairs too. Don't JUST sell online, get your work into cafes as well. You'll see which routes are more profitable/worth the time as you try them out. Eggs in many baskets, you know.

There's probably a whole essay I could write on this. And you're right--mileage varies between person to person vastly. The part of the world you live in, your access to transportation, education, your mental health, what type of work you like to make, etc. Art careers almost never look the same 1:1 even in fandom spaces like furry/anime. If you're self-made, it will reflect that.

I recommend the YouTube channels Rafi Was Here, Robin Sealark, Cat Graffam, and the website The Abundant Artist (again by Cory Huff) for more resources.

Don't be afraid to take leaps of faith. Try everything. Be true to what works for you and what doesn't feel sustainable. Be authentic with your art and stay true to your interests. And good luck.

Skidar's a lil frosty today cause the government is irritating me.

Long story short:

I got laid off in Feb, applied for UE, qualified, couldn't file my weekly claim due to a site error.

Tried for three weeks to contact a human about it.

Finally got hold of an agent, asked if I would get reimbursed for the weeks I was unable to file due to site error, they say they dunno.

I continue to apply for work and submit claims, no UE checks come still.

I start my OWN business here here in town doing paint nights and start selling out classes pretty successfully.

Now I make too much to apply for weekly UE (even though I've never received any checks).

I quit filing UE claims cause they haven't sent me any checks and I make enough in my two independent self-employed businesses that I started to keep myself afloat, Go me!

Get an email from UE asking WHY I'm self-employed now, doesn't that interfere with LOOKING FOR WORK AND FILING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT? And telling me to fill out a questionnaire about my self-employment to keep qualifying for unemployment aid.

THE FUCK???

I GAVE MYSELF A JOB to earn money to pay bills and rent because I COULD NOT wait for UE checks that were NOT coming in (and I DO NOT know why) and I SUCCEEDED I'm not playing this stupid game anymore!

I GAVE UP on UE!!!!

May have been a bit TERSE in my reply...

ok i am really sorry about how this may come off and i want to say i'm not like prejudiced against german people, but i often hear about things from germany like women having to try brothels first before getting unemployment, or "sex being a human right for disabled people" (ie they force a prostitute to go "service" a disabled man), and so on, and it kind of makes me skeeved out by german men? where i'm from obvs there is a local brand of misogyny but how accepted is this in your country? how common is it among the men to just think it is normal and okay? would you say the average man there goes to brothels or is okay with it?

no worries! i completely understand where youre coming from.

first off, women do not have to try prostitution or they get their unemployment benefits cut, thats a myth. a brothel owner tried to enforce it but the courts decided that, since the alleged purpose of the prostitution law was to protect prostitutes, not to foster and promote prostitution, the government agency responsible for unemployment is not to advertise brothel ads or help brothel owners find „employees“ which would not make sense in the first place because brothels dont employ prostitutes, they rent out rooms.

secondly, i dont think german men are more (or less) likely to buy sex than men of other nationalities. german men tend to generally be more shy (when it comes to hitting on women/dating) which is not due to virtue but probably because german people are more reserved in general. my french friends say they get harrassed on the street less in germany, for example. but that doesnt make germans less misogynistic.

from a feminist point of view, we have the worst possible mix of liberal and conservative politics: for example, prostitution has been liberalised and legalised 20 years ago - but abortion is still technically criminalised (albeit accessible). women have been excelling in academics - but mothers still take on most of the childcare (resulting in poverty at old age, single mothers being at highest risk of poverty, and women being overrepresented in part time jobs, for example). the conservative part comes from the center right christian democratic party having been in power for most of the time since the end of ww2. the prostitution law is the brainchild of the green party who have been massively influenced by postmodernism and hippie culture. academics are also pretty much divided into these two camps (conservative or postmodernist liberal) and this also influences politics. i think this is reflective of our weirdly ambivalent culture!

in my opinion, the average german person does not have strong opinions on any of this. they care about würstchen and maybe refugees (racism is a more obvious albeit not more or less grave issue here than sexism). the topic of prostitution is not a widely discussed topic at all. which means people dont care enough to stop that green party nonsense like „sex is a human right“ and buying sex being legal (they are by the way also responsible for the new self id law in germany). feminism is just very weak in germany. there are big discussions on „gendering“ and the trans topic, refugees and nazis, and climate change, but weirdly the sex industry and other misogyny is not often discussed. at best we get a halfhearted gender pay gap debate.

i think german men are freaks in private. we have a huge fetish scene in germany, i cant tell you why. germans are known to be very dry, reserved, not fun loving people, but there is an undeniable underbelly of sex pests here, i cant tell you what it is but maybe thats because im too close to it. i would be very interested to hear how other germans but especially non-germans who have been to or maybe even lived here perceive it!

Personality disorders are usually not considered true disabilities, even when their impact in someone’s life can be so tremendous and devastating - despite the fact that some PDs could even be considered “assets” and advantageous, putting people in places of power or in organizational roles, for example, but there’s human beings behind these “workers” first and foremost.

If you’re in that place where you, seemingly, can “function” well but not good enough to be able to blend in. You might fall under the cracks and become marginalized.

In case of AvPD, marginalization might mean more social exclusion and scrutiny. Then, more avoidance as a result, and because of the nature of employment issues in current society, that in itself becomes a trigger for the disorder: competition, rejection, needing to have excellent social skills, or resigning oneself to solitary low-paying jobs (that might exacerbate loneliness), and so on.

Maybe you can’t get disability benefits, you can’t get a stable job (or leave a dead-end job that sucks the life out of you), you feel unsafe and you’re an unreliable person (or so other people make you feel like it).

If you’re on government benefits or working odd jobs, that might not really “boost” your social life all that much either. Socially, you’re still viewed as “less” than a person with a full-fledged job.

All in all, these are disadvantageous things to consider when building someone’s social circle, and very limiting too.

This paper is related to AvPD in several aspects. Avoidants are most likely to be chronically unemployed or underemployed, job hopping, or working gigs and temporary or seasonal jobs, without much stability, thus worsening the disorder. It traps people in a cycle of poverty nearly impossible to leave.

Long-term unemployment (when a person is jobless for more than 12 months) can have serious negative consequences for the individual, society and its economic system. People who are unemployed for a long-term period find it more difficult to be employed as time goes by (...) the probability of leaving unemployment decreases significantly with its duration, leading to an increased possibility of remaining unemployed. Over time as unemployment continues, long-term unemployed persons probably leave the labour force and retire, enrol in disability programmes, or simply become discouraged workers.

(...) In general, long-term unemployment is more or less a determinant of social exclusion. It is a multidimensional process that weakens the links between an individual and the community. The characteristics of exclusion are related to access to the labour market, basic social services and the social network. One of the most important forms of deprivation is limited access to the labour market.

(...) People often define themselves and are frequently demarcated by others by what they do for a living. Economic and sociological research and studies underline that employment is not only the most important determining factor of status and human well-being, but it is also vital for generating the feeling of one’ meaning of life, social stability and securing participation in society (...) If people are working, it is unlikely that they will be poor (...) Consequently, efforts are made for people to work and earn a salary, and thus be in a better position than those who obtain benefits and assistance in the unemployment and social-welfare systems.

Unemployment is particularly dangerous if it lasts for a long time (for one year or longer). Long-term unemployment not only lowers employability and the likelihood of finding a job in the future, but also causes people to become isolated and sick (Spermann, 2015). The loss of a social network because of dismissal or the impossibility of finding an adequate job causes a serious shock. It can even force otherwise self-assured persons to become unconfident when applying for jobs. Nichols et al. (2013) explain that continuing unemployment decreases both the potential wages of the unemployed person and the chances of finding a new job (...) long-term unemployment will probably also reduce a person’s social capital – the network of acquaintance and business contacts that enable the easier finding of a good, new job. Social capital may decrease with a longer duration of unemployment because the social network established through work contact can decline when work contact stops, or because being out of work is increasingly stigmatising the longer a person cannot find new employment. The erosion of social capital means that the longer a worker is unemployed, the less likely he or she is to find a new job (Layard et al., 2009).

(...) the long-term unemployed simply are not selected for employment because employers want candidates with higher education, more qualifications or experience for the jobs that come open. A more gloomy possibility is that long-term unemployment is at least partly self-reinforcing: employers are reluctant to hire someone others have already passed over.

(...) even after participation in various employment programmes, the majority of long-term unemployed persons (many of whom are recipients of social-welfare benefits) have very limited possibilities of finding a job. Without doubt, such persons face multifaceted obstacles in their search for employment, mostly have low educational attainment, live in areas with inadequate traffic connections, are of poor health or have difficulties with socialisation. Very often, they suffer from physical incapacities and/or disability, have learning difficulties and psychological problems, have experienced domestic violence, can be addicted to alcohol or drugs and so on.

(...) people whose social network consists of similar unemployed persons have greater vulnerability problems when exposed to psychological and financial difficulties, which make it more difficult for them to escape unemployment and poverty. The Acheson Report (Acheson, 1998) indicates that unemployed people, particularly if they are recipients of social-welfare benefits, have a substantially lower level of psychological stability and are often prone to depression and dissatisfaction, even to the extent of causing self-injury and committing suicide. Long-term unemployment is particularly harmful for health (Nichols et al., 2013). It extinguishes personal capacities and opportunities, not only material, but also mental and social ones.

(...) the negative impact of unemployment on health accumulate over time. Burgard et al. (2007) found a significant decline in self-reported health status following job loss, even after taking into account various traits of people without a job. Losses are more pronounced among those who lose jobs for health reasons, but job losses for other reasons increase depressive symptoms. Many applications without positive outcomes lead to feelings of discouragement, worthlessness and depression, loss of self-reliance, and disbelief in the future. Böckerman and Ilmakunnas (2009) found that the health status of those who end up unemployed is statistically significantly lower than that of the employed.

Really being self-employed was my only option. My autism and bad legs were more than enough for any company to consider me “unemployable”, even the desk jobs. So now I’m working a desk job, for myself.

It’s fine, I hated offices anyway. Souls die in offices.

[scooplery]

how the fuck am i supposed to heal from the trauma of trying to pretend I'm "normal" to make the people around me more comfortable if i STILL HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF SO SMALL IN ORDER TO STAY EMPLOYED??? how am i supposed to fully unmask and be free if who i am at my core is so repulsive to the general public to the point that i am unemployable if i act like my actual self. THIS ISN'T FAIR

#i've spent my WHOLE life policing my behavior so i don't get institutionalized or fired or like. assaulted! #and NOBODY who has ever hurt me on purpose will ever face consequences. #i hate this. i literally hate being alive in this world

[digitalafterlife]

when self-proclaimed leftists use ‘jobless’ ‘get a job’ ‘neet’ or any variation of the above as an insult i have to laugh because in this job market? in this economy? at this time, when a billionaire douche was caught on camera last week talking about how the ‘unemployment rates need to go up’ to punish the working class for stepping out of line? i understand ‘get a hobby’ to an extent, because people with few hobbies do tend to waste more time on fruitless online arguments (exhibit A: i’m self-aware. working on it) but … ‘get a job’? ‘oh it’s not that deep’ — i’ve applied for twenty vacancies on indeed over the past month and still haven’t recieved a single interview offer. these were mostly low-paying, low-training, little-experience-required minimum wage openings, by the way. and when some homophobic troll is attacked online and shamed for being ‘jobless’ and ‘on benefits in his mother’s basement’ instead of, you know, for the actual rampant bigotry that he’s peddling, it makes you wonder — are anybody’s politics actually fucking coherent, or do people just want an excuse to use the same ableist, classist rhetoric that their oppressors do against a figure which it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to target? it always bounces back. you’re not hurting the asshole troll, your hate comments are only raising his online engagement which is exactly what he’s trying to achieve. the people that you are hurting though are the disabled and disadvantaged people on their last straw, feeling dehumanised and humiliated by the systems in place that seem to be continually, unrelenting rejecting them from all angles. that’s what you’re projecting: “if you aren’t currently employed or are simply for whatever reason incapable of selling your labour to an organisation or corporation of any kind, your value and worth to society and humanity is negligible, and you will be paraded as the lowest of the low — the worst example of what a person can possibly be compared to, a walking stain.” it is becoming ever more challenging as a disabled person to believe that the world genuinely wants us here and that 90% of the population aren’t firm adherents to eugenics deep inside their bones (or even overtly and shamelessly, as i’m observing more and more frequently in comment sections)

[sekritjay]

Been the bad kind of busy for me, the kind that keeps me away from tumblr, one of the few ways I get something resembling social contact in my life for a couple of reasons

First is BG3 (thanks Moose!) - starting an honour mode playthrough but because I'd been playing with the more companions mod (for that juicy, juicy banter) it completely breaks the difficulty in half. A full party, even without Wither's Jaegering a dead body is capable of taking out bosses within a couple of rounds but honestly I feel like I'm only getting half a game if I'm only hanging around with three other degenerates.

At least with Honour Mode I do have to put in a token amount of thinking before I twin-Haste Lae'Zel and Karlach in to alphastrike Denver Gortex before he can summon Daddy in to give him a hand

Second reason I can't really be around is because on the 1st of January I took the decision to completely shut down the restaurant

It's taking me more than a month to disentangle all the legalities and administration of winding down a 40 year old business while trying to bat away all the creditors asking for money on top of doing things like redundancy payments. Only just untangled my electricity bill and I'm actully glad that's over because they wanted me to drop £8,000 to settle arrears instead of the 10% we eventually agreed upon. And somehow my gas company just shrugged and let the bill lapse instead of chasing me for it

Ironically and bafflingly, the most persistent debt chasers have been the music licence people and my credit control leasers - My bills for energy, water and redundancy payments came to just over 20k, of which I'm only really paying in full for the redundancies

For the music licence and CC lease? £300. They're sending the bailiffs over £300. I'm inclined to let them come since they'll be sending collectors to force me to hand over all the nothing that company is left with. They're certainly not legally able to come after my money and even if they were I can claim that taxes and the 'property lease' take legal precedence

My main concern however is personal. The money is... painful but ultimately all these people are after the company's money. There's a certain degree of apathy and clarity in knowing that the money men can't get me to sink any lower. No, in my case it's that fact that I've been involved in the family business in some capacity since I was 14 years old. 20-odd years, 12 in management, and six years doing 60 hours 7 days a week... and it ends with a whimper

How do I move on not knowing anything else other than this life? I don't know what I'm good at, nor where I could go. Don't know who to talk to, or what I could do next. I don't even know what weekends are for, or indeed really what else to do with all the time on my hands beause historically my time off.... wasn't

I really oughtn't put all my eggs in the Canada thing, but at the same time it's the only thing I've truly wanted in... over a decade I guess. Despite knowing it's a miniscule crumb of a chance. And I dread what would happen if it doesn't work out. Or indeed, if it does

FIrst steps is getting my unemployment benefit sorted. That'll be difficult since I was self-employed. Next would be to decide between getting a job, a career or scrape together some cash from... somewhere and go study... only I don't know what I'd like to do

Ffffffffssspspsppssss. At least tumblr is a sympathetic but disinterested ear to vent to. I honestly am clueless what to do

D10 Dashamsha Chart: How to Read D10

The 'Karma' or 'Profession' is represented by the tenth house. Your profession is determined by the planets in the tenth house, the planets aspecting it, the tenth Lord and the planets aspecting it, as well as the navamsha dispositor of the tenth Lord. Our understanding of profession also depends on the nature and Tatwa of the sign of the 10th House. Additionally, Karakamsha (Navamsha of Atma Karaka) provides additional details. Similar to this, it's important to comprehend the nature of the planets that signify careers as well as the planets that affect them.

When analysing one's career, the dasamsha, or tenth part of the rashi kundali, should be used because it reflects the profession. Only move on to D-10 when you have gathered all the necessary information from the Rashi chart. The topics I have covered are broad in scope, and I have made an effort to make the language basic enough for all astrology enthusiasts

Following are the likely results of the analysis of D-10.

Lagna Lord in Own House / exalted – Good job.

Karakas for profession, namely Sun, Saturn and Mercury, if any one of them in own house – Good job.

Sun in own house / exalted – good job and will become a good leader in politics.

Sun or Saturn in Upachaya (3,6,10 and 11) – Good job

9th Lord in 9th House – Success in profession.

Venus alone in 8th House – Lucky and excellent success in profession.

7th Lord of D-1 /D-10 in own house or exalted – Very good progress in profession.

10th Lord of D-1 / D-10 in own house / exalted –Very good job.

Lagna Lord, 6th Lord and 9th Lord of D-1 / D10 Lords, if any one of them is debilitated –No success in profession.

Lagna Lord in 9th / 9th Lord exalted – Business (Self employed)

If Capricorn has malefics – Indulge in bad / evil /illegal profession.

Rahu in Lagna – Temporary jobs / frequent transfers/ bad prospects in profession

If Lagna has any two planets, namely, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter or Venus – will become Jyothishis, Veda Pundits or Sanskrit scholars.

Why Has the Left Deprioritized COVID?

“Left failures to incorporate an analysis of disability and ableism are detrimental to our vision and organizing capacity. Capitalism itself is fundamentally ableist, awarding the food and shelter necessary for survival on the basis of an individual’s ability to work for pay. Capitalism ensures its own survival by turning disabled people unable to work, along with other unemployed people, into a surplus population whose existence disciplines employed workers into accepting poor working conditions and little pay, lest they fall into the abject poverty and exclusion experienced by many disabled and unemployed people. Work under capitalism is a disabling process, as workers become debilitated through unsafe jobsites, injuries from accidents or repetitive stress, and the mental and psychological tolls of a work culture that is almost universally unsustainable …

“In 1970, the Young Lords, an organization that fought for self-determination for Puerto Ricans and all colonized people, occupied Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx to demand better healthcare. In 1977, disability rights activists occupied a federal building in San Francisco for 26 days, demanding the right to access any service that receives federal funding: hospitals, universities, schools, public transportation, government buildings, libraries, and more. That sit-in wouldn’t have succeeded without the support of the Black Panther Party, Gay Men’s Butterfly Brigade, and United Farm Workers, who provided the occupation with food, security, and personal attendant care. These groups understood that their members had a stake in disability rights, whether or not they were disabled themselves.

“The left needs to unite against pandemic ableism, not out of goodwill or charity towards disabled leftists, but for our movement’s survival. Organizations limit their potential membership when they romanticize pre-pandemic organizing practices, where everything happened in person and those who couldn’t attend due to disability or illness, lack of transportation, a work conflict, or family caregiving duties simply couldn’t participate. When unions fail to understand – or act on the understanding – that scarce, poverty-level disability benefits and the end of pandemic unemployment supports are political attacks on all workers, whose exploitation happens in relation to the parallel misery of unemployment, they miss an important opportunity to help build power for the working class as a whole …

“We need to organize collective action that builds bridges between our individual workplaces, issues, or identities. We need to work together as teachers, nurses, school staff, retail workers, seniors, and disabled people whose lives are increasingly dangerous and isolated, to shut down production and consumption to demand a public health response that puts life over profit. To get there, we need to call the pandemic what it is: an exercise in eugenics, a mass disabling event, and an escalation of racialized class warfare. The left’s job is not to accept the narrative of events that corporate media and government officials give us – ‘the pandemic’s over’ – but to craft our own, showing each other how many more people could be kept alive with policies such as universal free healthcare and housing; abolition of prisons, borders, and nursing homes; and broad mask requirements, ventilation upgrades, and widespread, accessible testing. We don’t need to accept mass infection. To survive this pandemic and the next one, we need to recognize that we all have a stake in transforming this extractive system, and together we have the power to shut it down.”
