I feel like some people dismiss ableism's ubiquity because they think eugenics was just some fringe thing and not a mainstream movement that actively shaped policy

It’s called Pride Month, T. All the corporations pretend to be gay for a month to make money. Vito thinks we should give it a try.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

☝🏽exercise is not a no-cost, risk-free intervention for all chronic health conditions

✌🏽 rest is an evidence based intervention for many chronic conditions

The most gut-wrenching part of the last 2 years is definitely the lost lives, but as a young person, it feels even more demoralizing because we have learned so few lessons.

We coukd have restructured our entire world and our relationships with each other, and we didn’t do it.

some cis people think cis is a slur because they use trans as a slur

Jirau absolutely should be able to model underwear and lingerie

and people should be fighting the ableist backlash that completely infantilizes her

[Wrent & Frayed (Wren Ashe Frey MACDS) @crippledscholar]

I've seen a lot of physically disabled people posting sexy pics in response to the Sofia Jirau Victoria's Secret modelling backlash

and it makes me really uncomfortable

An assignment i have at the moment is to write a report that is a scientific critique of an article and my god my creative writing, sub-editing heart is noting every single persuasive technique alongside all the junk science and I am thriving off of this

Australia does not have a mental health system that can absorb a large scale traumatising natural disaster on top of a pandemic

CN: doctors, medical records

I found out I'd been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder while looking at a referral to a phsyio. Neither my GP or psychologist mentioned I'd been diagnosed, not even when they suggested anti-anxiety meds

[Zahra Khan (she/her) ♿️🦻🏼 زہرا خان @hellozeik]

Doctors should not be allowed to put diagnoses in your chart w/o explicitly disclosing them to you

Looking up old records to send to new clinic I’m applying to & what I had thought was a good PCP in Boston put “conversion disorder” in my chart w/o ever mentioning it to me

Don't mind me changing my study plan at 3am on the second day of semester after I looked through a subject guide and deeply hated every moment of it

And now instead of practising hanf lettering I get to go on another field trip and learn more about systems thinking

A really really good thread of ways you can support disabled people

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

i need to make something useful out of this so here's a list I will add to of things you can do in your profession to support the rights of disabled people and push for broader definition & better implementation of accessibility:

[Henry Sotheran Ltd @Sotherans]

people in the 18th century be like "i'm a portrait painter, translator, novelist and travelling musician" and here I am like "i know how to use google docs"

[AJ needs a nap @_alex_mcfadden]

@Sotherans I can imagine reading 'joyless crab apples reject genius idea' in the "Banter" section at the end of the minutes for a comedy club committee I was in.

It always felt cool to have something you'd said/done in a meeting recorded in Banter it and definetly made meetings more fun
