“OT’s overdue obligation to interrogate critically our own position within systems of power and our own collusion within structures of oppression (e.g., colonialism, ableism, white supremacy, etc.) cannot be advanced by awarding ourselves the title of ‘change agents’.” 🔥🔥🔥

so many years and dollars spent on meds, doctors, therapies, programs, etc, and the most tangible improvement for my mental health was making enough money to do more than survive 🥴 funny how that works

People see our work on the surface and quickly think it’s some fluffy and cute stuff when actually we are pushing back against violent systems.

Going to medical school as a low income student meant taking on nearly $300K in educational debt. That's grown to over $400K thanks to interest. Want more doctors who come from disadvantaged backgrounds? Make higher education more accessible & #CancelStudentDebt

What a month November has been. Such a month, in fact, that we’ve yet to promo our latest episode!

Where does Mac and Me, childhood favourite of both Paul Rudd and @InvalidCulture co-host Erika (me), rate on our scale of cinematic atrocity? Let’s just say, we were surprised.

When people critique self-diagnosis as a valid practice they misunderstand the relationship between medicine, diagnostics, and medical training. As a historian of medicine this is endlessly frustrating to me. So here's a thread on the history of diagnostics. 1/22

When creating #EDI committees/working groups please consider compensation for members. Faculty teaching relief, research $$, teaching assistant duties relief, or any other form of support. We know who are on these, and making them do the work for free perpetuates inequities.
