If “everything’s not about race” then why is your nativity scene all white?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but rest is not a reward. You don’t have to earn rest. You need rest. You deserve rest. You are worthy of rest simply because you are a living being. And don’t ever feel guilty for taking time to rest.

In case you hadn’t heard because media is trying to bury it, the United States had been found guilty of Genocide against Black and Indigenous people.

…a week ago.

Retweet if you hadn’t heard yet.

This is an ode to all Disabled kids w/mobility aids this Halloween 🎃 👻

Dress up how you want! Incorporate your aid or not. Your choice. Stay safe ✨

The needs of disabled students only become “special” because of a lack of access and accommodation.

[Joanna No Banana @JoannaNoBanana]

“You should just get on disability benefits” isn’t the revolutionary and easy-to-follow advice that many non-disabled people think it is.

[Devon Price @drdevonprice]

we need a month where NOBODY emails ANYONE

Accessibility isn’t a luxury, despite what capitalism teaches us.

I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song #Jolene. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it's really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I'm honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX

Did it hurt when you stopped leaving the house in March 2020, setting your sights on mass vaccinations as the solution, but then people refused to get them “in the name of freedom” while vaccine inequity flourished, so variants kept evolving, & now you’re running low on optimism?

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

We will never have equity for disabled people as long as nondisabled people are the gatekeepers of access and accommodation.

@mattbc @kaylejh yep. they made sure to write a new policy after last semester to make sure no one could ask to go remote again.

I just need to scream into the void sometimes bc this is all just such utter bullshit and there's not a single thing I can do about it and that's an awful feeling. and i dont understand why I feel like i'm the only one who has concerns about all of this

[Gabi ♿🏳️‍🌈🏹♠️ @ChronicallyGabi]

a week left of being at home, and not on a college campus with a lack of mask and/or vaccination requirements 🙃I'm scared. and wishing I went to a college that valued my health and safety and allowed me to make the choices that I know are best for my health.

also, dining services announced they're also going back to "pre-pandemic service." no spaced out tables, no option for take-out. because "...it’s a system that was put in place to help us through a public health situation and is not sustainable for our department in many ways"
