I’m writing an article on ableism. What’s your most shocking example? Xxx

So a bunch of disabled people have had their videos taken down about @JohnFetterman, defending his use of captions and addressing ableism, on Tiktok?

For misinformation?!

[Jasmine E Harris @Jeharrislaw]

Can't agree more. There is no reason to begin a call any other way in these settings. From the moment the number pops up on my phone, I am no longer breathing and will exhale only when I hear "there's no emergency..."

Bill Hader was the ONLY one wearing a fucking mask. Believe me, my multiply disabled, high risk ass noticed. 🫠🫠🫠

"Yeah I may have this condition that impairs my ability to function, but I'm not disabled! Because there are people who have it worse than me and to call myself disabled would be offensive and rude to them by minizing what they suffer from"

Babes that's literally ableism

[Dr. Johnathan Flowers, Sword Bisexual @shengokai]

My hottest, most thermonuclear take is that systems of academia like peer review, academic freedom, and citation, cannot be analyzed outside the backdrop of the systems of oppression upon which the academy is built. Any analysis that fails to grapple with this is incomplete.

How do we navigate the ableism enshrined in research ethics? @RebeccaEliLong and @Hanelizqui Hannah Quinn (University of Toronto) wrote about consent-as-method for the Disability as Rupture collection recently published in Fieldsights.

This is a great piece.

Does this mean that working remotely has, GASP, potential benefits to an employer? Like we have been saying this whole time?

That online classes are still options, even when football comes to town? That they could be options when we are sick, or encounter access barriers?

Turns out, all we needed to get more hybrid work options was tell the provost covid is shaped like a football. This message was sent out today regarding the home football game set for Thursday, September 22 at 7:30 pm. The screenshot is shared in three tweets to

Policy 4305 is referenced in this message. This is the Authorized Closings Leave and Compensation Policy (link: https://t.co/EDFuuQ5ADY): to sum it up, anyone who is working remotely does not get time off due to the parking issue.
