My anthology DISABILITY INTIMACY comes out on 4/30!! Join me that day in conversation with the contributors @thellpsx @Nicole_Lee_Sch & Dr. Ellen Samuels online at @HarvardBooks, 6 pm Eastern ASL & captioner available Register: eventbrite.com/e/virtual-even…
My department (@ucl @uclcs) is celebrating the win of an @Athena_SWAN Gold Award for gender equality. I wonder if they noted in their application that mobility-disabled people are barred from accessing the department. Gender equality for whom? Not disabled women! Not me. Livid.
For the first time, there is a federal minimum on the amount of care nursing home residents get every day. I talked to experts and workers about what that means and why it matters. 19thnews.org/2024/04/nursin…
Join us in Juneau, Alaska for a fun conversation on guide dogs, travel, & accessibility at the Mendenhall Valley Public Library on Wednesday, May 1st. Free registration: habengirma.com/2024/03/14/see… #Alaska #Juneau

Disability allyship has 2 key pillars: 1. Ask disabled people what we need, 2. Based on those answers, take action to remove barriers. Actor, director, and comedian Milana Vayntrub @MintMilana role models this. #a11y youtu.be/ZdZjUi-FiiI?si…

When I worked @britishmuseum - the challenge of the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery Touch Tour was other visitors policing blind and partially blind visitors taking part. I'm sorry this is still happening, but I'm glad the staff member stepped in quickly.

I was so disappointed to see an episode of @AbbottElemABC which assumed that tools purporting to detect "AI" generated text work 100%, given the number of students wrongfully accused of using ChatGPT because of these tools.

@FatElvis04 @JLDenhart @HabenGirma This is exactly my view of person-first language too. No problem if people choose it to describe themselves, of course I'll respect their preference, but nondisabled people insisting on it is VERY telling.
@JLDenhart @HabenGirma I've dropped a similar line in the past a few times when discufsing person-first language. You want to talk about blowing some people's minds.
Listening to @HabenGirma talking about the complexity of language around disability: "If we have to remind people that we are people, we have bigger problems than language." Wow -- yes we clearly do.

@HabenGirma @MintMilana Love this conversation @HabenGirma. And yes, it's not enough to simply acknowledge the barriers faced by disabled people; concrete ACTION must be taken to dismantle those barriers, address systemic issues (ableism), and advocate for real, meaningful change.

Absolutely agreed. Public venues, *particularly* NHS medical services, need to be able to serve any disabled person who comes through the door. I absolutely will not be “booking” 48 hours before for something nondisabled people can expect to do on a whim. I don’t like this model.
Sorry but no disabled person should have to let a hospital know about their disability 48 hours before an appointment in order to receive assistance. Places have a legal obligation to make adjustments, regardless of whether I’ve told them I’m blind before I arrive.
Gaelynn is looking forward to the Disability Visibility Fair at the @DuluthPublic Library on Saturday, April 27th from 12pm-4:30. The event is built around disability activist, Alice Wong's (@SFdirewolf) seminal work, “Disability Visibility” for One Book Northland. Gaelynn will…
