We are failing future leaders w/ disabilities.

When my daughter’s school district was short special ed staff they hired a substitute teacher to support her until a paraprofessional could be hired.

It requires thinking outside of the box & investing. npr.org/2024/05/15/124…

Global Accessibility Awareness Day is a great time to read — whether with your eyes, ears, or fingers — books by disabled writers. Thanks for including my book, Apple! #GAAD

Every day, we should continue to make and remake the world a more inclusive place.

In honor of #GAAD , we've compiled empowering narratives from individuals with disabilities, spanning from battling ableism and injustice to discovering joy and purpose.

It’s frankly embarrassing & shameful to see so many disabled “leaders” and organizations silent & complicit in the genocide that’s also a mass disabling event

Signing a letter is the bare minimum

Disabled people of conscience, please sign this letter!

There is no disability justice without a #FreePalestine

I just signed this letter and encourage disabled folks and disability-related orgs to do the same

Disability justice & Palestinian liberation are intertwined

The global disability movement is not doing enough to stop the genocide & blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel.

The lives of Palestinians with disabilities depend on an immediate ceasefire. If you feel the same way, join us 🇵🇸♿️⬇️

The Tweedy Mutant Thanks for mentioning my piece!! I just shared a great one by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha yesterday llps.substack.com/?utm_medium=web

Alice Wong 王美華's recent piece in Time was fantastic (the goosebumps I got from 'Right now, as my body is at its lowest point, I am at the height of my powers')!

And lots of folks up here in Canada are writing on end-of-life re: MAiD.

Wondering what else might be out there?

I've been wondering about this for my own scholarship as well as general edification, and a pal recently reached out to ask about it in the context of wanting to learn how medical professionals could navigate these conversations better.

Does anyone know of folks who are working/writing on end-of-life issues from a crip/disability justice perspective?
