  Against Technoableism -...

  Ashley Shew

  When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
   
   
   
  In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
   
   
   
  This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

  This book bundle explores the military prowess, resistance strategies, and conquests of three formidable warrior civilizations in the Americas: the Mapuche Empire, the Mixtec Empire, and the Tarascan Empire. These societies, known for their resilience, strategic warfare, and ability to challenge powerful enemies, played crucial roles in shaping the history of their regions.   
  Discover the Mapuche Empire, a fierce and independent people of southern South America who resisted Inca and Spanish invasions for centuries. Renowned for their adaptability in battle, use of guerrilla warfare, and iron determination, the Mapuche warriors held their ground against colonial forces longer than most indigenous groups in the Americas.   
  Unravel the history of the Mixtec Empire, a civilization known for its skilled warriors, masterful diplomacy, and sophisticated city-states spread across Oaxaca. Famous for their codices and intricate metallurgy, the Mixtec people engaged in both military conquest and strategic alliances to expand their influence and protect their lands from rival forces.   
  Explore the Tarascan Empire, a powerful rival of the Aztecs that built a highly organized military state in western Mexico. Unlike most Mesoamerican civilizations, the Tarascans developed advanced metal weapons and defensive fortifications, allowing them to successfully resist Aztec expansion and maintain their sovereignty until the arrival of the Spanish.   
  From relentless resistance to tactical supremacy, these warrior societies shaped the course of history through their unwavering spirit and military innovations. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts eager to learn about the fearless civilizations that defied conquest and fought for their survival.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  From the news media to politicians. From social media to the movies. From the pulpit to the playground. Hatred is engineered, sold and spread. It is used as a tool to control and manipulate the masses. It has been this way for a very long time. 
   
  It is in fact a natural part of being human and grows from that basic universal and instinctual inner element of fear. This fear is natural. All animals have it. It helps us and them to spot threats to our lives and way of life. But this fear is being used by very clever leaders in government, media, religion and business. These four elements are in fact all connected at many levels. 
   
  This fear causes hatred and that hatred is used to garner votes, sales and members. The threats created by those in power manipulate our thoughts and beliefs and cause us to hate other countries, races and everything else you can imagine. We take sides because we are conditioned to do so. 
   
  There is a route out of this hatred and it is as old as man. It is an ancient wisdom seldom spoken of in the media and yet it is greatly needed in our divided world. 
   
  It is time to end hatred.
