It's wild how me and my disabled girlfriends all know someone who has been sexually assaulted in the hospital or medical setting. Yet the healthcare workers and doctors on here never do and are shocked by the very idea of it. That abuse should be discussed, too.

@ disability Twitter! Does anyone have good recommendations for intro-level readings on disability culture (for masters students who are very new to disability)? I am struggling to find pieces that hit the mark. ♿️📚

All of the death is… affecting me. My mood, my health. And that’s without bombarding myself with up to the second news. Constantly worried about the injured and houseless. I say this not to center myself, but to remind people with my type of empathy or sensitivity to breathe.

Asking for a friend: Looking for folks who have experience with brand audits for justice-rooted nonprofits. If you know someone, please let me know!
