Bi Sasquatch<p>Source: hybridpedagogy.org</p><p>From the article: "Offering players a ‘virtual sandbox’, the video game Minecraft is a cultural phenomenon that has transcended many societal preconceptions around creativity, collaboration, and community through digital play. But often not everyone is invited to play. In writing ‘Making Disability Part of the Conversation: Combatting Inaccessible Spaces and Logics’, Godden and Womack lament that students with disabilities are often minimised or completely overlooked in digital spaces. The same charge can be levelled at the rise of digital play experiences that have for too long been implemented in a way that presents participation barriers for many students. From our own experiences, there is a genuine need for 'planning for disability' from the outset if possible. We are however more optimistic that educators and game designers are beginning to recognise this need, with the growing body of research around intersectional gaming, with inclusive gaming being seen as a vehicle for inclusion within our communities.</p><p>"As educators and school leaders recognise the opportunities offered by digital games-based learning, we are increasingly asked how best they can ensure that Minecraft is an inclusive space for gamers with disabilities and neurological differences. In beginning to answer this question we share our insights gained through our research of both inclusive Minecraft servers and inclusive gaming groups within schools."</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Minecraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minecraft</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disabled</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gamers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gamers</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Inclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inclusion</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://hybridpedagogy.org/building-inclusive-minecraft-communities/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hybridpedagogy.org/building-in</span><span class="invisible">clusive-minecraft-communities/</span></a></p>

Ann Antidote (n.p.) 🏳️‍🌈🔞♾️🐾🔗🐐<p>Two kink related events with similar dimensions (200-300 people) happen during Easter in Berlin. One, flinta only, tries to be inclusive including long and sometimes fracturing political discussions, the other, all genders welcome, not. The not specially inclusive event has a bigger percentage (or at all) wheel chair users, visibly disabled, older and younger people, trans including trans women, and evtg else I probably did not notice, also dedicated neurodivergent meetings. The amount of poc folks seem comparable in both events, both very white. </p><p>Just putting it here without explaining or interpreting, will do it in the comments.</p><p>I just want to highlight that inclusion takes more than wanting it and writing about it: the mechanics of exclusion are subtle and persistent. </p><p>"Who is not here and why". More than "who do we want to include" </p><p>I am putting this here as an invitation to reflect and not as throwing shit at people's work.</p><p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/bdsm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bdsm</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/inclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inclusion</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/sexpositive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexpositive</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a></p>

Whether or not you identify as disabled, most people live or work in close proximity to others with a disability.</p><p>"For years I have researched how people with disabilities have been kept out of efforts to guarantee equal access for everybody, particularly in higher education.
