Ivy and I just got @DrSamiSchalk's new book BLACK DISABILITY POLITICS in the mail and we've already started reading it! Congratulations Sami on this spectacular book!

Five years ago, @stridentsoprano (Dr. Erin Kathleen Bahl) and I began work on a webtext about the rhetoric of audio description (AD). I am overwhelmed to announce that the webtext is finally PUBLISHED! https://t.co/qajTJce7IJ Please share far and wide!

Thread with more details.

My university is reporting zero faculty & staff COVID positives bc they are only counting tests administered at the University Health Clinic. I have been COVID positive since Sunday & submitted my positive test to the U as required. So, am I dead? (1/?)

Today in class a student used the word “neoliberal” and I asked her to give a quick gloss of its meaning for her classmates.

She thought for a moment, then said, “I think basically it’s the idea that capitalism is doing a good job” and I was like OMG A+.

@tressiemcphd Yesterday's @maddow lead-in on this topic was devastating

The quote's origin/history is very important for a piece I'm writing about coalitional politics. My argument doesn't hinge on the origin/history but I want to get it right.

[Drew Holladay @drewholladay]

Can anyone help me find the origin of "No one is free until all are free"? It's most commonly attributed to MLK Jr., but also used by Fannie Lou Hamer, and similar to lines from 19th century writers Emma Lazarus and Herbert Spencer. #PleaseHelp #QuoteOrigin

@DrCCedillo @tortiiIIas Post-graduate school research: finding out everything interesting you read was explained by marginalized people decades earlier. And then the leaders of the field learn it through…French theory?

[Drew Holladay @drewholladay]

The UN declared these shock devices a form of torture. The devices are so obviously unethical that this single institution has to MANUFACTURE them in house. Familiar justifications appear: it’s for their own good. The parents approve. Doctors know best. #StopTheShock

@autistichoya WTF. 😞 This is a nightmare

[Drew Holladay @drewholladay]

“After expressing an unpopular opinion…” You mean @AsaoBInoue telling hard truths about writing instruction as the chair of the biggest conference in the field? Oh wait

[Drew Holladay @drewholladay]

Is anyone preparing a formal response to this? I would gladly contribute or sign on

[Drew Holladay @drewholladay]

@lecagle I almost can’t believe that the “story” the producers found was about cancel culture rather than a substantial portion of an academic field changing its core philosophy and practices to combat white supremacy

@wetherbeephd Congratulations! 🎉

[Drew Holladay @drewholladay]

@autistichoya YYYEEESSS 😃

[The Autistic People of Color Fund @AutisticPOC]

Y'ALL. We are floored. We received word this week that an anonymous donor sent us a check for ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. This comes right as we had our most recent application review meeting, where we have redistributed almost $30,000 already to autistic people of color.

Ableism is explaining over and over again why you need masks, and why immunity is not a guarantee for everyone.
