I am a teaching assistant at @mica. Today @ngadc decided mid-field trip to stop accommodating my disability and had their security escort me out of the building. Removing me from the museum —and from my students— was a clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Your health is at risk. My wife is a PhD microbiologist. She retired from the FDA in 2018. She and her team did vital research on food safety. They developed rapid testing methods for detecting pathogens (one of her tests was adopted by McDonalds). She was involved in identifying the pathogens found in BlueBell ice cream and Jack-in-the-Box and many other cases. There were a dozen or so other teams in her lab working to save lives and make food safer. They all got the axe today. And don't give me the BS that the FDA is corrupt. These are scientists not politicians. She couldn't even accept a box of donuts from an equipment salesman and they made me sell my stock in OXO Good Grips because the FDA regulates kitchen tools. They worked long and hard for you. This is sad.
@belovedhestia ur bio literally says “high femme prince”
so why can’t a masc (+) want to be called a princess?
also masc (+) lesbians aren’t men— and % of them are women. Some of y’all are automatically treating masculine lesbians like men and frankly most of them don’t want that.

💔 The tragic loss of Anthony Mitchell, a wheelchair user and his son Justin, who had CP and no mobility aid, during the LA wildfires highlights deadly gaps in disaster planning for Disabled.
We must ensure inclusive preparedness to save lives.

Because I'm allergic to all food I rely on IV nutrition to survive. The hurricane wiped out a plant that provides raw ingredients for tpn my food supply is in jeopardy. My home infusion company told me they can't guarantee my supply after next week...
@waitmanb My wife and I were both teachers. We decided against homeschooling our kids. We decided the parent relationship would be compromised by trying to be the teacher as well.
Kids need a break and experiences without parents.
Heartbroken after seeing a young patient with no medical history, end up with a BIFFL GRADE II dissection of the vertebral artery and subsequent acute PICA infarct immediately after a neck adjustment from the chiropractor. This has to stop.
Chiropractors - you HAVE to stop.
