Aside from the ableism, the thing I resent most about having a chronic, complex condition is that in order to access the necessary healthcare I will always have to live in an impossibly expensive urban centre when all I have ever wanted is a quiet life in The Shire.

I haven't had pain relief for 6 years now and I dislocate joints all the time. Between the inaccessible costs, the fears around prescribing opioids, and the limited alternatives, there hasn't been a sustainable option. 1/4

The culture around treating pain is so stigmatized that people living with chronic pain are conditioned to believe they don't deserve pain relief until they're writhing in pain, crying on the floor. And even then, too many doctors deny them pain relief.

THREAD. This is one of the most disturbing stories I have seen in a long time: a huge corporation that profits from separating parents from their children and then charging monopoly prices for jail phone calls is partnering with Sesame Street.

The whiteness of ASL interpreters doesn't just impact deaf people of color, but any discourse on whiteness among deaf people. For example, at the lab meeting, I was talking about the growth of Black, Latinx, AAPI, and Indigenous linguists since I came into the field...

@Nicole_Lee_Sch I'm going into grad school next fall and I can already tell that getting support from other disabled and first gen folx will be vital. So could I take you up on that offer next year?

A reminder: people use canes for lots of reasons. I use my for stability, to help me prevent dislocations, and to improve my gait. Yes I can walk without it, but I risk hurting myself. Yes sometimes I put it down bc it's hard to do the task I need to do while holding it. 1/2

A lot of people are anti mask because it’s a genocide they get to participate in by just breathing.

“sorry you’re so poor your account is negative. Here’s a $35 fine for every single time we let a transaction go through even though we totally could have stopped it and prevented you from ever even going negative in the first place. But darn those immigrants, amirite?”

People aren’t broke because they’re bad at budgeting. People are broke because the wealthy got too greedy and made it too expensive for the rest of us to be able to afford to live.

Yes hi hello, faculty, I'm talking to you. Did you know that if you deny an accommodation request because it "fundamentally alters" the course that what you are actually saying is that your pedagogy is inaccessible and you don't care?

Take this down, this shit is ableist. Some of us are literally confined to our homes during a pandemic due to disability / being immune compromised. last year myself & other disabled ppl made a Google doc to get immune suppressed ppl nationally what they need & that’s good enough

Dear colleagues in higher ed, The students you think are "lazy", "unmotivated", or "can't hack it" are often disabled. Your course is inaccessible. Your pedagogy is hostile. You are a barrier to their educational success. Signed, The disabled instructor to whom they disclose
