D Center #BlackDisabledLivesMatter

UW's Disability and d/Deaf Cultural Center. Open virtually. FB & IG: @uwdcenter.

[D Center #BlackDisabledLivesMatter @UWDCenter]

The D Center will be hosting an event where we discuss disability costume appropriation, it's culture, and portrayals in the media. Join us as we speak on these issues in our society today. #UWDCenter #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPride

[D Center #BlackDisabledLivesMatter @UWDCenter]

#Replug Disability is not a Costume event TODAY! Time: 4:00 - 5: 00 PM. Zoom Meeting ID: 994 0263 3532. ASL and CART Captions are provided. We are not only going to tackle the problem in halloween costumes but how this relates with media portrayals of people with disabilities.

[D Center #BlackDisabledLivesMatter @UWDCenter]

This Halloween season, we always talk about cultural costume appropriation, but never disability appropriation. The D Center hopes to problematize what seem to be normal in our culture. Time of the event 4-5 PM!
Zoom Meeting ID: 994 0263 3532
ASL and CART Captions are provided.

students shouldn’t get deported but neither should anybody else who’s trying to live here.... why are immigrants only important if they have a 4.0 and three degrees ? im so tired of seeing these impossible standards for us to live up to before we’re important enough to let live

[Jon Henner @jmhenner]

There is no A Deaf community. There are deaf communities. Plural.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Symptoms may present differently on different skin tones!

Most medical textbooks and guidelines only focus on white skin and this needs to be corrected, it has been the cause of so many undiagnosed and neglected people of color.

Spot on

Funny how Non Disabled folks go on and on about how inspirational and talented we are but when it comes to giving us jobs... no where to be seen. 😅

CW: physical abuse, violence.

“The video...shows that immediately after Cornelius threw the sandwich at another teen...a staff member took him out of his seat and onto the floor. For the next several minutes, at least six staff members held Cornelius on the ground.” https://t.co/SdDYqqTxXj

Who is a DISABLED correspondent, not just a reporter who covers disability...there’s a big distinction

So apparently this film “couldn’t find disabled people in time.”

Lmao, we’re 1/4.

You could have literally closed your eyes, spun around and pointed and you’d have been able to cast an actually disabled person.

"There's a lot of assumptions that obviously you can't be disabled if you if you ride a bike all the time" - @spokesmama. In partnership with @NACTO we highlighted the stories of 15 disabled bikers. Watch: https://t.co/BbYzR24Nek

Too many Ableds only validate disability narratives if disabled people are striving towards abled-ness as the goal and it doesn’t sit right with me.

My life matter as a black autistic person and many black autistics around the world. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackAutisticLivesMatter #AutisticWhileBlack

No the fuck it is not. Racism is a choice, mental illness is not.

[Kirstie 🦇🕸👻👩🏻‍🦽 @KittyDotty]

Anyone else feel like disabled people are being pushed back behind closed doors? We are not included in any of stages for reopening. Places are being made more inaccessible. Barriers are being physically put in place to stop us participating.

[D Center #BlackDisabledLivesMatter @UWDCenter]

Yes! Disabled and Proud!

July is Disability Pride Month! ♿️

Disability rights are human rights. We won’t stop fighting for transformative equality. Are you with us?

[Autistic Self Advocacy Network @autselfadvocacy]

We all deserve to live in the community, free from violence. Help us fight for policy changes that will make that a reality by joining our Wednesday call-ins, starting tomorrow! https://t.co/omFqbdZ67v
