Just got my order of Alice Wong 王美華 Disability Intimacy 🤓 — the longer I live with #LongCovid & disability, the more the mission of Alice Wong feels so critical to everything we’re fighting for.

Asserting our experience into our culture is so key to changing minds.

Dr. Schalk is the author of 'Black Disability Politics', an important and excellent book. Consider ordering it or requesting that your university or public library acquire it.

I am in full solidarity with Dr. Schalk and all others arrested in Madison this morning. Shame on UW–Madison.

A new episode of National Disability Radio is out! We discuss the carceral system with NDRN's Rebecca Shaeffer and explore how people with disabilities wind up in it and how to support those returning home. ndrn.org/resource/ndr-a…

I will vote for whichever candidate for president bans scam calls from people pretending to be from the IRS.

I just left the peaceful encampment at UW Madison. No arrests or direct contact with cops yet. I hope admin leave our students alone. So proud of each and every one of them. I’ll be back tomorrow 💜 #FreePalestine

Clean air, respirators, testing - while none of this is 100%, these are all effective ways to mitigate the spread of disease. And it’s not that hard to do.

Being a Rockwood Leadership Institute yearlong fellow has been amazing in every way, but I have to thank them for not only making our week-long in-person sessions masks required and providing us high-quality respirators, but requiring us to COVID test each day too. Community care in action.

You know who is doing some really important work in the disability space? Maria Town and AAPD

Next up! Excited to have TS Butch Queen join us for Black Healing Remixed! I’ve long admired Devin’s commitment to community organizing &supporting the wellness of Black trans
Women. Devin joins us for our mental health & masculinity conversation &I am excited to have him with us!

somebody said, “worrying is like worshipping the problem”.. and wow

Because medical students are trained almost exclusively on images of white patients, they can be underprepared to care for Black patients, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment and worse outcomes.

When the next 100 people behind the wheel refer to themselves as “confined to a sedan” I will reconsider. Till then, I will remind that “confined to a wheelchair” is a pejorative ableist phrase. A wheelchair is a liberating a mobility device. Period. #DisabilityTwitter #mobility

We love an accessible protest. Sitting while protesting is still fucking protesting!

The LEMONADE album. The intention, the rollout and artistry behind Beyoncé's magnum opus; a thread

Today, we celebrate #NationalPoetryMonth by honoring beloved poet & disability rights activist Laura Hershey. Here's part of her famous poem, “You Get Proud By Practicing':

Remember, you weren’t the one
Who made you ashamed,
But you are the one
Who can make you proud.

So proud of our partners BEAM !!!

They do such incredible work!
