You can’t make this shit up. Sign reads: Notice, to use the diabled (yes, diabled) lift, please come upstairs to the buffet and notify a member of staff so that we can turn the power on. Thank you.

You shouldn't have to hide your disability in college and graduate school. Disabilities should be normalized and accepted as part of the human experience. And people should be willing to accommodate and accept them.

I regret all the unintentionally ableist things I did & said before I became disabled & learned.

Are you nondisabled?

Great. Listen to disabled people now so you have less regret when you're disabled down the line. Chances are pretty darn high that'll happen if you're a human.

I wish people knew just how difficult it actually is to get disability benefits. And how hard it is to live on disability benefits.

[The Tweedy Mutant @the_tweedy]

To all of the doctors who are fed up with patient's self-diagnoses: in fairness, yes, my first few attempts were incorrect -- but, hey, so were yours.

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

It's disability pride month so here's a list of some of the ableist practices I hear in the academy all the time/have dealt with:
My grad school wouldn't postpone my enrollment for a year even though I was having brain surgery. So I enrolled in my PhD program 6 mo after (1/14)

The revolution must be accessible.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

If what comes to mind when you think of disabled people is “burden,” the problem is not disabled people.
The problem is you.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

The word “burden” when used by society, government & individuals to define disabled people is oppressive.

It devalues disabled people.
It marginalizes disabled people.
It dehumanizes disabled people.

It is a monumental societal and interpersonal barrier.

Antines Davis taught a group of Milwaukee protesters how to sign “#blacklivesmatter” in #ASL

[Lapis @DegenerateThing]

"But if we abolish the police, then who will protect us?"

Retweet if you've never been protected by the police. Reply if you have. I want to see who these pigs are protecting, because it certainly isn't me or my community.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

The Tories brag they’ve protected the NHS during coronavirus but what they’ve really done is shut it. Almost two-thirds of Britons with common life-threatening conditions have been denied care because hospitals have focused on fighting Covid-19. https://t.co/RDtxRO7TXD

[Khalea Underwood @letsbeKHAlear]

I slept on it. Prayed on it. And I think it’s my time to share my story.

[Riah (ry-uh) @lilririah]

Are there any disability organizers discussing how we are going to help welcome in & accomodate protesters who are newly disabled?

I know I'm not the first to ask.
