And let’s be honest, the majority of disabled faculty that can hide it are terrified of disclosing their status because it will be used against them. Those of us with more visible disabilities looking to go into academia know the deck is stacked against us.

My heart breaks for Lebanon

That feeling of stress, anxiety and anger you get when you see people posting their reckless behavior during the pandemic? Eating out, hanging out, partying w/o masks? That’s how disabled people feel whenever you fail to check for accessibility or ignore disability. Welcome.

I need 2 explain this because sometimes twitter is the place where critical thinking goes 2 die. You can find VALID criticism about Harris. Hell, I’ve written it myself. However, we will ALSO see misogynoir masked as criticism. Prepare for both and learn to distinguish b/n them

Your disabled friends and followers see your ableism. It makes us feel like shit. You can call out racism and sexism and etc without being ableist.

If you’re wondering how schools can even consider opening, especially given the presence of medically vulnerable kids, then you should probably be aware they often leave disabled kids and teachers in the building during emergencies...

Hey, you! I know there’s a lot going on. But one way you can REALLY help political representation is by filling out your Census. If you have, get your friends + family to do it, too. It’s okay if you lost the code in the mail. Fill it out here: my2020census.gov

Here is my annual reminder to profs that your chronically ill or disabled students scheduled their specialist appointments 6-12 months ago and had no idea it would conflict with your class. These appointments are not easy to reschedule. #AcademicChatter #ChronicallyAcademic

Praying for Jacob Blake, his children, and his family. It’s not enough to paint slogans. We need systemic change: ending qualified immunity, changing budget priorities, investing in communities harmed by overpolicing, and more. The solutions are out there. We must act on them.

Don’t do this. This is ableist. Weaponizing a chronically ill person’s productivity against another to make sure they’re productive in the midst of their own issues is gross. That’s colonizer shit. People have done this using me and I fucking hate. Ugh. Gross.

As someone who was forced to disclose her own cancer diagnosis before she was ready, immediately experienced ableism in the workplace, & who pushed herself too hard as a result please whatever you were going to say about "overcoming" disability just don't

“In death, fans of Boseman will want to sanitize the nature of their support of him, but looking back, it cannot be ignored that the moment his body began showing signs of disability, he was bullied off of social media platforms and jokes were made at his expense.

I really hate how suicide prevention month every year is reduced to “check on your friends” and not universal health care, to defund the police, accessible mental health services, and peer support programs. That analysis is so corny.
