I don’t want to be THAT PERSON (lol, of course I do) but, nondisabled people are grossly overestimating the level of patience disabled people have for them right now...

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

Film people:

Not every disabled person is trying to get laid. Most of us are trying to topple structural ableism and it’s far less inspirational than you think.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

To everyone saying high-risk people should just “stay home”:

If that was realistic for everyone (it’s not), would you be willing use this time to make businesses accessible as a post-pandemic reward?

You know, so disabled people could have basic human rights...

@fekkledfudge IT IS EVERYTHING!!!

So, today’s ableism challenge is this.

If you have a notebook is can use the notes app on your phone, I want you to take a tally of how often you use disabilities to describe things you don’t like or are abnormal to you.

TW: Ableist language

So, how many of you are ready to recognize how intricately ableism is intertwined with racism?

[Becca Monteleone, PhD @BeccaMonteleone]

Hi everyone! Noticing a lot of cool graphics with info about actions, legal assistance, donation channels, etc. If you're sharing images with information and need an image description (text describing the image) tag me! Always happy to make things more accessible.

[Karli Drew ♿️ @KarLeia]

White disabled people:

You do not experience racism.

Ableism isn’t the same as racism, although the two are inextricably connected and it may allow you to empathize more effectively.

Do what you can to support Black disabled people right now and always.

[syrus marcus ware @syrusmarcusware]

all of this activism has to be rooted in disability justice. in Mad justice. because disability and race and in particularly saneism and anti-Blackness is a deadly combo. So we fight for all of our Black lives. And we expose the fallacy of mental health//mental illness dichotomy

@fordnation Would you please consider making the assistance for small businesses mandatory for landlords? Many of us small business owners with empty studios that are far from opening are having a really hard time.

[@aletheamb.bsky.social @AletheaMB]

really wish people hadn't latched on to "able-bodied" as the opposite of "disabled" instead of "non-disabled"...

[Erin Ball @ErinBallCircus]

@YGKReTweeter Thank you for the follow! Agreed :) Thanks for the work you are doing.
