Silver Arrows<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://jorts.horse/@voxofgod" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>voxofgod</span></a></span> the Commonwealth doesn't want the USA, that's not going to happen. Also, I'm kinda of getting the impression you think it's a bit like the EU? Commonwealth is basically just the old British colonies kinda maintaining some cultural (and sometimes head of state) ties after independence. In practice it just means some countries like Canada and Australia still have the UK monarch as a powerless head of state. We don't get freedom of movement like the EU gets. I don't think we even get special visa conditions.</p><p>In practical terms, being a member of the Commonwealth means your country gets to take part in the Commonwealth games. And maybe extra diplomatic help in other Commonwealth countries if you don't have an embassy there. Um. That's it afaik 😅</p><p>Btw New Zealand is not disability friendly for immigration.

plinth<p>It's hard to believe that I have a 22 year old. It's even harder to believe that she's living with about 75% independence too and that she's really bloomed into it.<br>In our state, the school district is responsible for the education of a person with disabilities up until their 22nd birthday. On that day, all support gets kicked over to the state. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/downSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>downSyndrome</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a></p>

Und dennoch werden Menschen mit Down-Syndrom sehr häufig an den Rand unserer Gesellschaft gedrängt.

Katja 「Amethyst」<p>So Coor Down, in cooperation with several other disability organisations, launched a new ad campaign for World Down Syndrome Day 2025.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRIQ80rJKAc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=xRIQ80rJKA</span><span class="invisible">c</span></a></p><p>I just want to take a moment to say that it's fucking brilliant.

Monika<p>My son is not speaking yet, but in just the past few weeks he has really started to pick up signing. These are words he knows how to sign for sure: lamp, peas, banana, cow, ant, butterfly, shoes, eat, sleep, pee, brush teeth. Plus about ten songs that he can sing-sign as well. Cracking the code of communication is so cool. <br><a href="https://mastodon.acc.sunet.se/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acc.sunet.se/tags/DownSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DownSyndrome</span></a></p>
