Anyway. I'm not a Helen Keller stan by any stretch of the imagination. But I will defend her right to have written, and her existence as real.

I'm a Deafblind woman. I'm (almost) done with my book. It comes out next year. I'll bet someone is going to say I didn't write it, that I couldn't have because I'm Deafblind. That too, will be bullshit.

Misinformation during a crisis like #COVID19 can result in people being left uninformed, unprotected & vulnerable. ❌ Don't share rumours ✔️ Choose content verified by reliable sources 🎨: Ruth Borrows

I understand that some are encouraging @realDonaldTrump to level attacks on transgender Americans. There is NOTHING Christian about trying to use Government to bully a small, and particularly vulnerable class of people.

As soon as I wake up in the morning, I remind myself that nothing exists as it appears. Then I think about sentient beings who want happiness, but experience suffering. I generate compassion for them, determined to help them as much as I can to eliminate their negative emotions.

Publishers, please prioritise own voices reviewers!!! It's always a gut punch finding out that white reviewers got ARCs to own voices books but we didn't even get a look in 😭 especially when we actively look for, read & promote these books.

And still... Dear Breonna: I’m sorry this is taking so long; even more sorrowful that you’re not alive. You should be here. 🖤 There have been no arrests made for the murder of #BreonnaTaylor. Tag @kyoag to demand #JusticeForBreonna. The officers must be held accountable.

Seeing a person eating a food and assuming anything about their health or wellness is blatantly biased. Stop it.

My body does not work as well as it used to. My mouth is just fine. Ask for consent before assisting a human with a disability. And, as you would with any other human, ask for consent before you put hands on another’s body.

Those with chronic conditions are chronically made to feel responsible for their health outcomes. Sense of responsibility leads to blame. Blame leads to shame. Shame is not good for anyone.

Crying releases cortisol in tears. This is a beautifully efficient system for stress reduction. Please let yourself cry.

Exhaustion is not a badge of honor. Move with curiosity. Eat compassionately. Rest with consistency. Seek connection, virtually. We need you now and will on the other side of this long moment.

The ratings train for hate speech and incendiary language is a multi billion dollar business in America. Shock jocks &critics are rewarded financially for anti-Blackness, racism, sexism, homophobia&multiple isms and we are TIRED of the free pass they get. This speech wont help.

It’s interesting that coverage of Minneapolis has stopped after days of peaceful protest. But they’re still going. This is Minneapolis today. 🎥: @UR_Ninja

We don't enage with TERFS but just to be clear - If someone claims to care about disabled people and argues that disabled people do not have the capacity to make their own decisions they don't actually care about disabled people.
