Like all of you, I’ve been feeling so many emotions since yesterday. I tried to put my thoughts down here:

@caityveee Thinking of you sweet girl. ❤️

Accessibility in action. Inclusion is a beautiful thing.

Me and my sisters- agreeing with her

Everyone else- “Be careful what you wish for.” “Okay bye everyone!”

Best thing that has happened during a family function thus far and I love her for it.

A thread of how my thanksgiving went today:

*having family zoom meeting with my very conservative family*

Uncle- “anyone else have anything to say before we get off?”

[Helen @_HelBels]

My aunt, who is gay, who has been shunned from our family up until a few years ago-

“yeah, I would like to say I’m thankful to get that narcissist, God awful president out of office and to have the chance of having a democracy again.”

LGBTQ rights aren't up for debate. There shouldn't be two sides here. My love doesn't harm you. You know what's harmful? Being denied housing, employment, or legal entry to the hospital your spouse is rushed to. We can debate pineapple on pizza. We won't be debating civil rights.

If you’re more upset about the athletes boycotting than you are about the death, division, and discrimination in our society...your priorities are wrong.

@BethAMosley @ACLU Many are at risk of language deprivation because of this variability in language outcomes. ASL is 100% accessible to sighted, deaf children. Why risk withholding ASL (as well as lipreading in this case) in the event AVT doesn’t work?

[Ian DeAndrea-Lazarus, PhD, MPH @juniordocdoc]

@BethAMosley @ACLU This chart from Niparko et al. (2010) looks at language comprehension and expression in implanted kids. Each colored line is a child. This shows the wide variability of language outcomes in this population relative to hearing kids, even in those implanted before 18 months.

[ACLU @ACLU]

Refusing to allow deaf children access to signed or spoken language is language deprivation, and it's flat out discrimination.

Deaf students have every right to access language fully.

I want to be as cool as the person who made this sign

Yesterday I saw our ICU pharmacist in TEARS about our covid patients, today my nutritionist told me about her asymptomatic friend who tested positive and now has two weeks off work to “go to the bars and the beach.” You see the problem here?

iiiiiiiii am deceased

What COVID and Racism have in common: People don't believe they exists if they haven't been affected personally.

“If you get sexually assaulted / raped why wouldn’t you tell the police?”

A thread of quotes said by real judges in court during rape trials👇🏾

My favorite thing ever is when people say that college brainwashes you into being liberal. It’s almost as if....education...gives you perspective you otherwise wouldn’t have...and teaches you to think in different ways...and see things from other people’s shoes???

[Nick Talley @Nick_Talley]

We have to stop allowing white men to write and whitewash our history books as well as decide what is and is not important for our very diverse population to learn.
