Yep · brennan.day

Things I will do. Commitments I keep.

Saying yes is as important as saying no. This is my public list of what I'm here for, what I'll fight for, and what I'll build.

Work I'll Take

Development

Projects that center accessibility and inclusion
If you want to build digital spaces that work for everyone, especially marginalized communities, I'm your person.

Projects for disabled and chronically ill communities
Building accessible tools, documenting medical gaslighting, creating safer digital spaces.
Open source contributions that matter
Tools that enable community building, accessibility, and digital sovereignty.

Writing

Essays that bear witness to suffering
Making invisible struggles visible. Naming and counting those excluded from moral consideration.
Cultural analysis that connects systems of oppression
Showing how patriarchy, colonialism, capitalism, and ableism interlock.
Work that models accountability
Doing the work to unlearn patriarchal conditioning and carry emotional labour.
Writing about disability justice and health equity
Documenting long COVID, chronic illness, and medical gaslighting from lived experience.

Commitments I Keep

Community

I will always center marginalized voices
Amplifying Indigenous, disabled, Queer, and Global South perspectives.
I will practice material solidarity
Giving money, time, and effort to movements and organizations doing essential work.
I will bear witness to global suffering
Writing about Palestinians, Congolese, Rohingyans, Uyghurs, and all excluded peoples.
I will build mutual aid networks
Creating systems of care that don't depend on institutions or charity models.

Ethics

I will extend moral consideration beyond human boundaries
Including animals, ecosystems, and future generations in ethical calculations.
I will support universal rights without exception
No selective application of human dignity based on geography, identity, or politics.
I will fight against genocide and ethnic cleansing
Speaking up for Palestinians, Congolese, Rohingyans, Uyghurs, and all targeted groups.
I will defend trans and Queer rights absolutely
Gender-affirming care is healthcare. No compromise on Queer liberation.

Professional

I will build sustainable, long-term relationships
Prioritizing decades of work over short-term gains.
I will practice transparent pricing and pay-what-you-can models
Making my work accessible while maintaining sustainability.
I will document my processes and learn in public
Sharing knowledge, admitting mistakes, helping others avoid my errors.
I will choose restorative justice over punitive measures
I will meet people where they are while maintaining principles
Big-tent progressivism that builds coalitions without compromising ethics.

Why These Commitments Matter

These come from moral consistency. I can't write about ethics and morality and then work for organizations that violate them. I can't write about accountability and then refuse to do the work myself.

These come from community responsibility. As someone who has exploited various privileges, I have a duty to use my skills and resources to support those most marginalized.

These come from survival. Building a better world is necessary for all of us to survive the overlapping crises of climate change, fascism, and systemic injustice.
