Various links and stuff

[sqbr]

People have gotten sick of the feminist site Feministing's ableism, from never talking about disability to letting anyone who calls out ableist comments/posts be dogpiled rather than supported. Here's a Feministing and Disability linkspam, with an open letter to sign as well as a selection of the responses to this at Feministing.

Personally I decided I didn't like Feministing because of their racism back before I got disabled and started noticing ableism more, but they're pretty popular and influential, I hope some good comes of all this.

And now some miscellaneous links.

• Another post by trouble, (WARNING) Take Back The Night has some truly disturbing stats about abuse of PWD. Jesus.
  
• The Open Letter To Those Without CFS/Fibro
  
• Students remember inaccurate history films seen in class as fact
  
• 
  Visibility Matters: The Woman Who Cried "Bisexual" There's a lot of creepy sexuality policing where bisexuals are told they're just straight people trying to sound cool or whatever. So I found it instructive to read about how it looks when someone really is pretending.
  
• Recent Migrants and Inclusion in the Australian Arts Scene: Part 1 - Education
