I like this (FYI using alt helps SEO as well as making it accessible to people using screen readers/some neurodivergent people www.zdnet.com/article/how-... TinyHouses, @transition-network.bsky.social & changed land use law so people could travel would help too. & #Criptopia bsky.app/profile/barr...
#Criptopia: it is (long past) time.
#Hopefest groweatgift.com/2025/05/04/h...
The crowds at #Hopefest are cheering on the #Criptopia manifesto as the DJ plays A Brand New Day www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_ZT... What step towards inclusion would make you cheer? & which are the most accessible events you've been to? (Bonus points if regular so Hopefest can promote inclusive events)
White box with pink edge, filled with text reading "What is Criptopia? It's utopia for Crips & if Utopia is nowhere, Criptopia is everywhere because it's 'cripped' Utopia. What does that mean in action? The Criptopia Manifesto has a few ideas. What would you add to create Criptopia - & how can you start today? If it's a hard day today, seek joy. Disabled Joy is political. Playing, having fun or resting can help create Criptopia but if you have energy for action, Ciadish have some ideas: - Seek consent not forgiveness. - No-one should need to disclose disability to be included, inclusion should be 'baked in' to all that you do - Use people's own chosen labels - Read/act on The Inklusion Guide - Support Keep Festivals hybrid - Be inclusive and accessible always including but not limited to: - Fully accessible buildings - Using alt text - Scent-free spaces as standard - Hybrid events as standard - Quiet, reclining & outdoor spaces as standard - Captions/lyrics/transcripts on all videos from academic to recreational. -- - Work like slime mould, together, with shared needs in mind for the greater good - &, like slimes, mould together for mutual benefit & growth. - Work like fungi, networking & sharing safety, danger, survival & other information, & if there's a risk, signal to others to help them protect themselves & if you need help, ask. - Play like children- play is learning. - All senses are equal & no senses are also equal. All senses & no senses must be supported & catered for. - Create Sensory Stories. - If words don't fit, change the words not yourself. Don't be scared to create words that fit you
As This is The Day floats across the #Hopefest site www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxaz..., they're projecting the #Criptopia manifesto on the main stage. The time is now.
It is time. #Criptopia
Love this - thanks so much for sharing. #Criptopia is overdue bsky.app/profile/barr...
#Criptopia. It is time*.

It's time. #Criptopia
It's time.

#Criptopia. Time to make it happen (long past the time, but without a time machine, today is a good day to start) #Utopia #CripCoop #DisabilitySky #NEISVoid #Disability
Spares by Michael Marshall Smith www.goodreads.com/book/show/97... I've long believed words have power. Starting to worry they may create reality. Time to get #writing Criptopian books (Utopia is no place, so cripped Utopia would be every place. Let's make #Criptopia happen) bsky.app/profile/barr...
Pondering: could a country be run as a #cooperative, with those voted in to administer it paid performance-related-pay linked to average earnings, & everyone in country getting dividends when country does well/able to buy extra shares to support country (though only ever getting 1 vote)? #Criptopia?
AMAZING cover design, esp on Road to Juneau - very 'futuristic Art Deco'. Who designed it? Great premise too - you had me at '#Utopia' (I'm aiming for #Criptopia bsky.app/profile/barr...). Added to TBR pile (don't suppose you're chronically ill or disabled? If so, I can review it for Ciadish.co.uk).
More useful, important, potentially lifesaving lessons here - a great breakdown of what we can learn from #YearsAndYears www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_nY... #Change #Hope #Dystopia #Criptopia #TogetherWeCanDoAnything #CripCoop
#Criptopia. It is time
It's time to create #Criptopia (and watch Annette by @sparksofficial.bsky.social if you want a fab film to escape into)
Anyway, time for screen break: need to look after meatsuit. But this has been a really exciting chat. Thanks for indulging my #Criptopian dreams (if #utopia is nowhere, #criptopia is everywhere as it's utopia cripped. Or at least, that's the theory - & 1 that can become practice if we work together)

Agree with sentiment but if I gave up social media, as someone houserealmed who saw 2 people 'IRL' last year, my world would get SO small. @bsky.app is pretty much the only way I get social interaction. Still left Insta though. (Also, I thought #Criptopia may be of interest bsky.app/profile/barr...)
(The 1st rule of #CripHeist is to talk about it LOADS. That way, people won't realise it's entirely serious. Yep, very serious indeed. No joking around going on here at all. Hiding in plain sight to destroy ableism and create #Criptopia via heisting. Young EDSers - we may need your bendiness. Game?)
Keep dreaming. #Hope brings change. #Criptopia bsky.app/profile/barr...
Agreed. I'm hoping the #CripCoop might help reduce the powerless feelings, at least a bit (well, I'm hoping it will reduce them a lot and create #Criptopia but that's because #hope is political, & a necessity for survival as a disabled person, to me, so I go for BIG dreams). bsky.app/profile/barr...
This is the year. Who's in? #Criptopia
