Swoon! Listen/read @romanmars on @Bullseye; he discusses the Curb Cuts episode of @99piorg about the great Ed Roberts & his fellow "Rolling Quads"! Thx for making #DisabilityActivism history more visible, Mars! (Note to self: gotta tour @EdRobertsCampus) https://t.co/N73IagwXZh

How cool that one of my favorite podcasts @99piorg features @HabenGirma and Alice Sheppard @wheelchairdancr in the episode "Take a Walk." Listen or read the transcript, and let them take you on a walk! https://t.co/5wTode4aRF

I have great respect & gratitude for my co-presenters extraordinaire Michael & Jacquis for taking time to share their passion for equity & inclusion in education abroad, esp w/ respect to disability, race, gender, & sexuality identities. What better way to kick off #CIEEconf?

[CIEE Conference @cieeconference]

Key takeaways from our session on equal opportunities & unique experiences:
- There IS a difference between access and inclusion
- Disibility adds diversity
- Ask students questions, find out what their necessities are (don’t just assume!)

The personal care aide system was designed with the assumption that people with disabilities don't leave their homes, get jobs, have social lives, go to college... https://t.co/EXNDe2JHgT @annalandre @andraealavant

U heard @TheTonyAwards didn't provide stage #access for their 1st winner who uses a #wheelchair? Big shout-out to @NAFSA & @TheEventsDC Convention Ctr for making it so easy when I requested a lift for my co-presenter to access the stage. Can't it always be this easy? #NAFSA2019

@ryanoconn Who's the actor who plays Ryan's "#deaf blind date" Michael? Didn't see that character listed in the credits or IMDB but might have missed it. Is he Deaf?

[Ashley Holben @ashleybholben]

Are you watching new show Special from @ryanoconn? "It’s really important that a show with a #disability comes from someone who’s disabled. I want disabled people to be able to tell their own stories and be in charge of it."

[Vulture @vulture]

#Special's @ryanoconn talks his new Netflix show, his lifelong struggle with self-acceptance, and why he's tired of TV shows and movies that shy away from gay sex https://t.co/A0eM95Nojj

“I said it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to take that role and they should find a brilliant deaf woman to play that role...I don’t want to be part of erasure.”

"We Are International Students" is an important campaign from @NAFSA demonstrating how #intlStudents & scholars create jobs, drive innovation, & enrich classrooms. Intl students w/ #disabilities are also making a positive impact - learn how. #AccessToUSA https://t.co/jumEzi24zd

[Ashley Holben @ashleybholben]

Very likely, and we Eugeneans can't wait to host you in 2020!
