I have a story about the punk show my roommate and I went to last night.

So during any concert or show I have to sit or else I will collapse from pain by the end. This exact thing happened 4 days ago at a concert where everyone around me on a lawn stood the entire time so the only way I could actually see anything was to stand up. I stood for almost 2 hours then collapsed in pain with swollen angles and numb heels

Anyway because I have to sit when watching shows, I usually sit in the ADA section (especially with punk shows) so I’m not pushed around, and so I can focus on the show instead of the pain I’m in. This would be the 3rd show I’ve seen at this venue and the other two didn’t have any problems. Except this time I did.

For starters, the ADA section was way too small. There were 3+ people with wheelchairs, and 2 people needing to sit the entire time, not including any friends/family that may need to help their person. This is the first time I’ve been to a show here with this many people in the section, so I don’t blame them for “not being prepared” but they could’ve moved barriers around for more space.

Secondly, people kept ignoring the barrier to the section. There were multiple times when people stood right up against it, bending the fabric barrier thing so they were practically in the section. People would also walk from behind so they didn’t have to walk through the crowd to get to the door to the smoking area (yeah the ADA section is *right* next to the patio door)

Thirdly, people kept on falling ONTO THE BARRIERS and falling not only into the section, but also onto people standing nearby (like my roommate) or people in the section (aka me). When falling over they would also use my arm/leg to get up, which made me uncomfortable because it felt more than just a simple support, they would GRAB my leg. These people included not only people moshing (not bouncing off of person wall full on running into them) but also just drunk people falling for no reason. The entire place was either way too overcrowded, or the mosh pit was way too big and people not paying attention.

By halfway through the main show (after 2 openers) I just stood outside for as long as I could waiting for my roommate and we left early.

I am extremely lucky that this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this at a punk show. But it made me realize that punk shows are definitely not accessible. Sure, the venue can try their best (and 2/3 of the times they did, and it worked) but even so there’s always gonna be people who do not pay attention to their surroundings, drink too much, or just do not care.

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

CONNIE PANZARINO at a pride march in Boston circa 1990

[ID: Connie is marching along in her sip 'n' puff (SNP) wheelchair. She is wearing a patterned poncho and sporting a green felt party crown on her head. She styles a pair of wire-rimmed glasses with her slicked back hair. She is smiling. Attached to the back of her wheelchair is a large green cardboard poster that reads "Trached Dykes Eat Pussy Without Comin' Up For Air!" followed by a pink upside-down triangle with a stick figure person in a wheelchair at the centre (a symbol for disabled women)].

the cyborg & the crip by Alison Kafer

[ID: “Trached dykes eat pussy without coming up for air.” Connie Panzarino, a longtime disability activist and out lesbian, would attach this sign to her wheelchair during Pride marches in Boston in the early 1990s. Shockingly explicit, her sign refuses to cast technology as cold, distancing, or disembodied/disembodying, presenting it instead as a source and site of embodied pleasure. “Trach” is an abbreviation of tracheotomy, a medical procedure in which a breathing tube is inserted directly into the trachea, bypassing the mouth and nose. Someone with a trach, then, can, in effect, breathe through her throat, freeing her mouth for other activities (another version of this sign is “Trached dykes french kiss without coming up for air”). From a cyborgian perspective, this sign is brilliantly provocative and productive. It draws on the pervasive idea that adaptive technologies grant superior abilities,not merely replacing a lost capacity but enhancing it, yet it does so in a highly subversive way. The message here isn’t about blending in, about passing as normal or hypernormal, but about publicly announcing the viability of a queer disabled location. It’s disnormalizing, adamantly refusing compulsory heterosexuality, compulsory able bodiedness, and homonormativity. As Corbett O’Toole argues, it challenges the perceived passivity of disabled women, presenting them as actively pleasuring their partners, thereby graphically refuting stereotypes linking physical disability with nonsexuality.]

at a punk park show, here is my friend Ezra's epic patch pants. The nervous dog patch is the first one they made recently! Slater also has their recent patch shirt diy for today since their nonbinary and the fits femme today.

If you are trans I need you to stay alive.

Stay alive for every other trans person fighting, stay alive for every trans person who is no longer here, and most importantly stay alive for yourself.

They don’t get to erase us! They don’t get to take away our rights, and treat us as less than human. Don���t let them erase us, and don’t let them make you a statistic. Don’t let them win.

Stay alive

If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for others. Do it out of spite.
