@LeapingRobot Never considered what happened to Elektro after his World's Fair stint!

Wikipedia says he toured in 1950... not sure about Sex Kittens Go to College though: https://t.co/6ADIhweEt0

For disabled environmentalists, discrimination and exclusion are a daily reality
From straws to street design, disabled people are often left out of the environmental decisions that affect them most. https://t.co/foG2juPNSP

A thought provoking book from @besswww @elizguffey. I urge all Occupational Therapists to read it particularly chapter 2 which explores the historical reason the walking cane went from an item of pride to one of shame. It's important that we don't let history repeat itself.

@merylalper Thanks Meryl--can't wait for Kids Across the Spectrums this fall too!

Only blind people can touch ancient treasures at the @BritishMuseum, but this jealous sightie can’t handle it.

[Beckhistorian on bsky @ChamberlainBeck]

It is sure to be an exciting workshop bringing together histories of disability, tech, design, art, medicine, everyday life and more. I especially want to shout out @coreen_anne @jaivirdi @AimiHamraie @besswww @elizguffey @amhistcurator for their pioneering work in this area

Thanks @Wikipedia for featuring one student's work rewriting Rain Man! https://t.co/jhtbpyOzYI

[Elizabeth Guffey @elizguffey]

Really proud of my @DisStdUCLA students' work --Rain Man, Game of Thrones, you name it-- so many faulty representations of disability fill wikipedia and my @UCLA_TFT students really stepped up to the plate rewriting as many as we could find!

[@[email protected] @WikiEducation]

Rain Man was revolutionary for its time, but it also spread false ideas about Savant Syndrome and autism among viewers. @elizguffey's @UCLA students are helping correct the narrative by updating the film's @Wikipedia article. #DisabilityHistoryMonth https://t.co/wGVzpzFoZQ
