Access is a choice. Denying disabled scholars and other high risk scholars access is a choice. Hybrid forms take investment, planning, and commitment. It’s upsetting to know that they were possible when non-disabled scholars needed them, but that the same is no longer true. 6/7


Sure would be nice if the supposed “minimal competency” exam employed at least minimally competent proctors to administer the exam… seems like rye exact the sort of side effect that would happen when you have people writing an exam who never took one themselves #AbolishTheBar

My student was in the middle of taking the Nebraska bar exam today, a proctor interrupted her exam to take her temperature, she tested at 101, and she was escorted from the exam. (And no, she does not have Covid.) . A thread 🧵 /1 . #nebarexam #lawtwitter @abajournal #barexam2022

Reminder that the 3 (just three!) free N95 masks people in the US can get soon are available by in person pick up only, which means they're inaccessible by definition. Stay tuned for Season 3, Episode 27 tomorrow all across disability Twitter.

at what point does the country have to contend with the fact that disabled people are traumatised by having to hear repeatedly that our right not to die is less important than other people’s right not to wear a mask?

In case anyone was wondering: the fact that you exist as an oppressed being in one system of oppression does not justify your acting as an oppressor in another.

Happy (heavenly) Birthday to Ed Roberts whose activism in our Disability Rights movement laid the foundation for the rights and empowerment we all enjoy today- Words will never be enough. #CrippingSocialJustice #ThankYouEd

Dear Ed, I am celebrating your birthday today by remembering you beyond your Disability Rights advocacy but for how you loved food!! For all of you out there who love food, think of Ed Roberts today when you eat something scrumptious. He might ask for a bite. 🤗

пусть картофельная водка потечет, как могучая река Ниагара! Пришло время медведю гризли Джошу Аллену претендовать на чемпионство! #BUFvsKC #BillsMafia #GoBills


Went to Wegmans in my zubaz to pick up ingredients for chicken wing dip and got to say “Go Bills” to a couple also in Bills gear. I have never felt more alive. (also I miss Buffalo) #GoBills

“I started my company in my parents’ garage!” Yeah bro. Your parents paid for your degree, housing, workspace, and initial funding so you could work on your passion project full time with virtually no risk to yourself. Even the myth of the tech billionaire is pretty privileged
