Everybody go wish @Imani_Barbarin a happy birthday today! It has been my privilege to love her for the past 5 years and it has truly just flown by. Thank you for being, and I look forward to many more years of your smile, your laughter and a love that brings me joy everyday.
Hello Friends, I have been given a really cool opportunity to participate in a incredible event with folks at Harvard Law School, and I wanted to share this with you all. (1/3)
In light of the senseless police killing of yet another Black autistic child, Im resharing resources I created over the years. There's no kind/amt of "training" that'll "fix" this. Abolition is the only way: 1) bit.ly/policeviolence… 2) bit.ly/abolitiondjcha… #RyanGainer
Please stop sharing articles that propose training/more $$ as the solution to policing systems' violence against disabled/deaf ppl (unless it's for the purpose of critique). Publicly take the journalists & quoted civil/disability rights orgs/attys to task. This is KILLING ppl!
Alright, I tried a brand new restyling of a plain black dress I’ve had forever & I like it! I paired it with blue accents: necklace, fishnet stocks, glasses, makeup & boots. Whatcha think of this #TeachingLooks number 15 of the semester?
Hi yall! Super glad to make my work open access. AND it would really help me if folks downloaded directly from my press so we have a better sense of how the open access book is being engaged. Thanks! read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/309…
Today’s the day! Learn more about the Wheels of Justice Campaign and the Capitol Crawl in our blog⬇️
This Tuesday, March 12, marks the 34th anniversary of the Wheel of Justice Campaign and Capitol Crawl. These powerful demonstrations led to the passage of the ADA. Read our blog to learn more: bit.ly/48IvqBv Photos used with permission Tom Olin Collection. University…
My son said Howard University is his first choice in colleges. Said he couldn’t imagine being educated by white people at a PWI cuz they aren’t smart and not an example to him as an artist and scholar. I wanted to cry. My job as a parent is done. 😫
I wonder if the 737s falling out of the sky are the ones created before or after Delta lobbied the CDC to shorten the national quarantine period for all workers (including manufacturing) from 10 days to 5? What do you want the answer to be…?
Yes, I try my best to create a space for disabled writers. We need a trillion more places like the Disability Visibility Project! disabilityvisibilityproject.com
Well except for my girl @SFdirewolf I wrote for Alice’s Disibility Visibility Project and talked about getting into Palestinian Activism work via #AltTextPalestine this year It’s not as salacious as the NPR article, but I think it’s sweet disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2024/02/26/alt…
Some of you might remember I had a harrowing experience at @UCSFHospitals in January. Here is my latest column or @TeenVogue on what happened to me, the backlash from my last column, & how toxic parasocial relationships can be teenvogue.com/story/covid-20…
I’m working on a piece about how disabled folks are feeling four years into the COVID pandemic. Interested in chatting with a journalist about your thoughts and feelings? DM me or email sluterman at 19thnews dot org. #NEISVoid #CovidIsntOver
33 years ago today, dozens of disability activists abandoned their mobility devices to crawl up the steps of the Capitol. They were there to demand the passage of the ADA and they were tired of waiting for Congress to take action zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/capi…
I’m there in spirit with everyone!! #FreePalestine #FreeGaza #AltTextPalestine
Massive national march to demand a ceasefire in Gaza happening in Washington DC right now.
This is probably going to get buried by other news, but on Wednesday the Supreme Court is going to hear a case that might gut a major enforcement mechanism for the Americans with Disabilities Act. I wrote an explainer @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2023/10/suprem…
It is nearly impossible to participate in daily life without interacting with websites and software. Which is why we support accessibility standards! We applaud @SenDuckworth @RepSarbanes @PeteSessions @EdMarkey & @SenWarren for introducing this legislation.
NEWS: Today I reintroduced my Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act alongside @RepSarbanes and @PeteSessions to finally help make websites and other technology more accessible for all users, including those in the disability community. It’s overdue.
i have a new piece over at @RootedInRights about Boots Riley’s I’m a Virgo and black autistic representation in media 😊
.@cyreejarelle ends our August with a deeply felt reflection on @BootsRiley's #ImAVirgo, representation, and Black autistic realities. #ActuallyAutistic #disability rootedinrights.org/im-a-virgo-bla…
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth and a great time for organizations to ensure their content is accessible for all. @TheRPGroup invites you to view @RootedInRights playlist “Accessibility is Cool” for how-to videos on making accessible social media content: ow.ly/ygab50PmY6S
