#BREAKING: Ryerson president Mohamed Lachemi told The Eye's news team that the campus construction project is finally completed theeyeopener.com/2020/09/breaki…
coronary heart disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death. 2/2
This tweet was retweeted with the purpose of discussing the tweet that was quoted with the image that reads: The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxiation or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including: 1/2
Pre-existing health conditions are not an excuse to abdicate Derek Chauvin and the Minneapolis PD for thier murder of George Floyd. The same thing applied to the 2016 shooting of Mental Health Work George Kinsey and his autistic patient Arnaldo Rios Soto, it applies now too. #BLM

Reminder that hydroxychloroquine IS effective for Lupus. Yet because of the lies spread about it, patients have been asking their PPO doctors to write them prescriptions, who have been obliging. That’s led to a shortage for those who truly need it. This is from an IG friend.
“She had challenges of her own, as a worker with cerebral palsy. But as shoppers around the country raided shelves for necessities in early to mid-March, Jordan wanted to make sure the elderly got theirs.” Our community is selfless. This is just one example in a sea of others.
Rest in power. ✊🏾♿️ cnn.com/2020/04/08/us/…
#InsidiousEugenics Abled folks shrug & say "just wash your hands," but most public washrooms don't have wheelchair accessible sinks, taps, soap, towels or dryer. So disabled people who are at greater risk from #COVID19 can't protect ourselves. #Disability #Ableism
Thank you @JoelHardenONDP for bringing attention to this very dangerous pilot project and the implications programs like this have worldwide. ODSP benefits should NEVER be contingent on workplace abilities and it is clear that this is done with profit in mind, not disabled folks.
The Ford government's decision to privatize employment services for ODSP recipients in several Ontario regions is a threat to disability rights that must be reversed. #onpoli
Congratulations to @DandyLandry and @_jennapie_ on receiving the Dean's Teaching Award for Contract Lecturers recipients! #FCSInAction ryerson.ca/recognition-aw…
Unfortunately, it is not the ONLY handicap (disability) people still make fun of. Don’t minimize the experiences of our community for your political clout.
Joe Biden speaks openly about dealing with his stutter: “You know, stuttering, when you think about it, is the only handicap that people still laugh about" #cnntownhall cnn.it/2vWMHKB
Very happy to read that @SarahJama_ is being recognized for the great work she does for the disabled community with the @djnontario and elsewhere. Congratulations Sarah!! We hope you’ll be back at Ryerson soon!!!
I spoke @SarahJama_ last year about what needs to be done to dismantle ableism in Ontario. We spoke about what drives her; the work that @djnontario does & the importance of Hamilton’s grassroots community @AndreaHorwath @TheAgenda tvo.org/video/dismantl… #BlackHistoryMonth2020
How is this hard to understand? I'm going to keep retweeting it until I get a satisfactory answer.
Shoutout to @ItCouldBeAdam and his co-speaker @CharmaineLeetta for speaking about @ryeaccess and how we can ALL contribute to dismantling ableist systems within Ryerson and otherwise. SO informative, thank you for informing all of us about allyship and unlearning ableism✊🏽
Thank you @kristynwongtam for putting forward the initiative to remind everyone what the ‘We’ in #WeTheNorth should represent. Accessibility is crucial and dignity is having everyone able to enjoy any historic moment for any fan, disabled or abled.
The Raptors' historic win of the NBA Championship was a magnificent moment. Many joined the celebrations but for ppl living w disabilities, the parade/rally accessibility could be improved. This is what the TO Accessibility Advisory Committee is seeking. toronto.com/news-story/959…
Shame on the Ford Government for withholding funding from disabled service agencies. “(We have) never experienced anything like this before,” said one frustrated official at an agency, who, like others interviewed, spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of being defunded”
NEW: Scores of agencies that help the disabled have had their provincial funding delayed, the @TorontoStar has learned. #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…
We can criticize those who align themselves with Trump’s policies all we like, but making fun of someone for a disability is ableist PERIOD, and should be condemned WHENEVER it is used, no matter what for. You don’t get a free pass to be ableist to someone if you don’t like them.

We are very sorry to hear the passing of Ing Wong-Ward. She was a mighty force and a breaker of many barriers for the disabled community (and a Ryerson Alum). You can read more about her here: cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Hello everyone, this is Ing’s husband Tim. Ing died peacefully early this morning with me by her side. Zhenmei was able to give her a final kiss before she went to bed. /1
