Performative Activism (And How Your Activism Could Be Ableist) [CC]
Part of being an activist is being intersectional, including everyone in your activism. And I've noticed a pattern of activism that includes every minority except disabled people. And not only that, but causing a lot of harm to us in the process. So let's talk about it.
(Also I want to acknowledge that some of the things I say in this video are considered "hot takes", I am happy to have a discussion about it but I ask that you please remember to stay kind in the comments. Thank you!!)

Hello my dears!
My name is Sydney and I’m an actress/singer-songwriter who writes music about my experiences being autistic, disabled, gay, and in general, a human. My goal is to fill musical gaps and write about things people often forget to make music about. I’m also a vintage enthusiast and disability advocate (among other things). I’ve now released 3 albums and, most importantly, my favorite color is buttercup yellow.
