.@RepDelBene@SenatorCantwell@PattyMurray Food is NOT optional. Older adults, people with disabilities, children, and families will go hungry if Congress doesn’t act. Protect SNAP and WIC benefits now!
Terrible to hear of the passing of @tinu. I have no words. She had such giggly personality, but was often so tired from just trying to stay afloat. Still, she loved this community and consistently felt like she wasn’t doing enough.
You were enough, Tinu.
With blessings from her dear and loving family:
I am devastated to say that our dear friend, community leader, mentor, family member, & renowned disability activist, @Tinu Atinuki Abayomi-Paul passed away at home on Thursday morning.
She is finally at rest and without pain.
I can barely speak or type right now. I am devastated to say that Tinu (@Tinu) passed away at home on Thursday morning.
I will miss her so much, she was family to me. She made me a better person.
To help with her funeral costs & take care of her family: https://t.co/lP1gz4gMQO
howdy ho folks! semi-regular reminder that it's never too late to work on removing ableist/sanist language from your vocab! (purely as a few examples: stupid, insane, idiot, deranged, socio/psychopath)
Wild, unreal, and unbelievable are good entry placeholders. Otherwise, 1/3
Here in the US there’s little to celebrate and be proud of because the disability community is facing fascist eugenic ableist assaults from mask bans to criminalization of being houselesss
It’s not a joke
