My dear friend Toby holds a little party on his Facebook page every Thursday that he calls “shouty Thursday.” Basically you just comment with an all-caps shout on any topic. I’ve put my shouts in the comments. Please feel free to ADD YOUR OWN!

So lets get this straight. Academic job cover letters include paragraphs about dissertation, next project, proposed courses, teaching philosophy, and diversity. THEN you also include a research statement, teaching statement, diversity statement, and sample courses in the packet.

Happy ADA Day!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Today is the 30th anniversary of the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act, a landmark law secured after years of activism.

Our series explores the history of the disability rights movement and what it means to live with a disability in America. https://t.co/vdTwweBHfv

When using hashtags, if you capitalize every new word Blind twitter users can actually hear the message you're saying.
So, instead of #blacklivesmatter (which still rocks but is a mm less accessible)
But #BlackLivesMatter allows the message to be accessible!
Even on instagram!

The rights of people with disabilities have come under added threat during COVID-19.

This is one of the reasons why we're highlighting the work of disability justice activists this #APAHM.

🚨Disability Crowdsourcing🚨

What would you recommend for people who want to dive into disability culture?

1) Books by disabled people (memoirs, anthologies, disability-related fiction, etc.)
2) Things to watch ABOUT disability WITH disabled people (like Crip Camp or Special).

Eugenics is not an idea from another time.

It’s not a Nazi thing.

North American eugenics has been tremendously influential and deadly effective.

It’s not an early twentieth-century thing. 1/13

@spunkytank Your choice from Avatar the Last Airbender, Rainbow Brite, Goku (old or young), Totoro, anyone from Spirited Away (old witch would be rad tho), Perry the Platypus

Google's drawing today is of Dr. Jean Macnamara, "who applied her tireless work ethic to better understand and treat various forms of paralysis including polio. Her work contributed to the development of a successful polio vaccine in 1955."

Now, what's wrong with this picture?

"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work."

I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.

A few days ago, Oregon's peak was supposed to be on April 24th. Today, it's projected to be May 3rd... with estimates for hospital bed needs within our state's supply. This is what flattening the curve looks like, folks. Stay home. Save lives. (Source: https://t.co/xz7vl7D7t3)
