What harms can come from language directed at people with disabilities? #UICAHS' @TimotheusGordon sheds light on the online discussion that followed when VP nominee Tim Walz took the stage at the #DNC last month and his son became visibly emotional. https://t.co/McZ0BKZlXB

For @MSNBC: As Tim Walz takes the stage, I wrote about how his and Gwen Walz's acceptance of their #Neurodivergent son offers a roadmap for how parents can accept their neurodivergent children.

Tip from this #DisabledAcademic but true for all: Don't offer an honorarium and then ask after the work is done if they really want to take it or instead make a donation. It puts us in a tough spot and I'm shouldering 3 X #DisabilityTax so yes-I need it.

It's #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth, and this is the reality for disabled people in the workforce. Disabled people deserve to thrive, but are disproportionately underrepresented in the labor force compared to nondisabled workers.

I have a spinal cord injury and 80% of my body doesn’t sweat as a result. Disabled folks with nerve and neurological damage or conditions are not building up any kind of tolerance to heat.

They say tourism in the city & state is up. ANNNND… they say the south and west sides are getting more visitors too. 💪🏾🔥🫡. Just make sure when I’m 75 they spell my name correctly on the honorary street sign. That’s literally my life goal and why I’m doing it
