"If the moral arc of the universe is to continue to bend toward justice, we must embrace disability as a critical part of diversity, and truly welcome one another...as equal members of society."

This is in line with the idea that disabled people needing what they need to get through the day is just “special treatment.”

Chadwick Boseman needed these accommodations and health services to do the work. He didn’t “overcome” anything, he lived with it right in front of them.

@LindaNEK This is ableism. Specifically, inspiration porn. Chadwick's work and passion are iconic, but that does not make it acceptable to use his life and death as an excuse to degrade others or dismiss their struggles, or shame them for not doing as much. It isn't a competition.

[Mads @madisons_mad]

@LoHo__ @offbeatorbit These tools help disabled people who cannot use knives. Adaptive tech is almost always advertised by able bodied people so it's hard to associate it with the people who are largely using it, but imagine seeing a ramp and saying "lol just use the stairs."

Non-normative?? The word you're looking for is disabled. It isn't a bad word.

[CalBike @CalBike]

On the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act, a Seattle-based group reminds the world how essential cycling can be for Americans with non-normative bodies.

I truly do love being a part of the disability community. Sometimes I sit and reflect about where I’d be without this community, and it’s not a great place.

Gratitude to you all.

#AdaptTheFeed disability doesn’t look the same with everyone. I wanna see more disabled models and actors. Yes, you can contact me 🥰

TW: Black disabled death

I’m seeing this make the rounds on FB:

Michael Hickson was denied care for #COVID19 because he didn’t have “quality of life” to warrant the effort by physicians.

This is the moment disabled ppl talked about. We’re here now.

I am begging black people: please do not skip over the fact that he had a disability and was wearing a mask last year while walking in the street.

That’s why the cops were called on him.

Black disabled people are at risk.

[aurelius @SDFRAN_]

Resources for White people with the question “what can I do?” More than anything, veer away from asking Black people to explain structural forces of oppression to you. That emotional labor is too big a burden to hold. https://t.co/fVIZAaBfVG

Disability and Inclusion is a student organization that seeks to give a platform and a safe space for students with disabilities to voice their concerns. Our exec is ready to promote our students' needs all throughout campus and we would love for you to join!

[DisabilityInclusionOU @Disability_OU]

We understand the frustration and we want to put an end to this but we need your help. Together we can create the change on OUr campus and finally make students with disabilities feel heard! Share @DisabilityOu

[DisabilityInclusionOU @Disability_OU]

Hello Friends! Disability accommodations have been an issue that has remained unspoken for many years at the University of Oklahoma. It seems that all we require as an institution from our faculty is to add the DRC number and location on the syllabus.

[DisabilityInclusionOU @Disability_OU]

To those students that have reached out to the DRC, what was your experience? Was this enough? It shouldn't be. OU is VERY behind in actualizing the resources they provide. Disability issues NEED to be a topic of discussion on our campus!
