My s.o. is brilliant.

First generation college student. PharmD. Postdoc.

We made a decision (coin toss), she stayed home with the kids. Daycare = postdoc salary.
It kills me.

Now she got an offer!

Office for postdoctoral affairs: Explain gap in CV.

Don’t. Do. This.

Ever.

When your letter to the editor about Deaf cultural genocide is published, not a bad way to wake up. The reason for it however is alarming af.

Because I'm blind, an airline is saying I have to sit alone. We booked side-by-side seats. But when they found out I'm blind, they separated us. They're claiming it's their policy 1/7 #RightsOnFlights

Quick reminder that “ADA compliant” does not and never has meant “accessible”. The ADA covers bare minimum accessibility standards. MOST Disabled ppl have access needs beyond what the ADA regulates.

[Gregg Beratan @GreggBeratan]

Happy #ADA day all. It's been nice having the floor raised but we have so damn much more work to do. Our community shouldn't be stuck fighting for the bare minimum. Our country still treats us as id our rights are too expensive to honor. Let alone start thinking about justice.

“Long-haulers must resist the enormous cultural pressure to prove their worth by pushing as hard as they can. They must tolerate being chastised for trying to avert a crash, and being disbelieved if they fail.”

As a PhD student, all I focused on was getting a PhD.

As a PhD supervisor, I focus on training students on the long-term process that leads to getting a PhD.

Here's some examples🧵

Catching up on messages received about #sineadoconnor took a while to realise I wasn’t still disoriented from jet lag. My story is that I worked with Sinead for 5 days in her London home, studio and local pub. What she did for #DeafAwareness #signlanguage and #signedmusicvideos

Hospital employee: “Which do you prefer, confined to a wheelchair or wheelchair-bound?”
Me: “I prefer wheelchair user.”

When I think of being confined or bound, the last thing I think of is my wheelchair. Wheelchair use is freeing. Wheelchair use is mobility.

Really makes me wonder about some Deafies who live in LA…how do y’all manage?

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Me, a wheelchair user: “Your car is blocking the curb ramp. Can you please move?”
Driver: “Can you wait? I’ll be leaving soon.”
Me: “I need you to move now.”
Driver: “You have no patience. Just wait.”

Disabled people are tired of waiting for access.
