We rarely see the impact we have on others’ lives. For us, it’s often a tiny act or the number one added to some viewcount. For them, it’s the kindness that sparked hope in life or the reading that infused their existence with new meaning.

I've gotten good at making myself seem calm, distant & emotionally flat as a survival strategy for interacting w/ the healthcare system as a disabled person of a marginalized gender. But it's become a habit spilling over into other parts of my life & I have a hard time externally showing emotion.

Reminder that behind a social media avatar is a real person with thoughts & feelings. Within the disability community MANY of us have sensitive or dysregulated nervous systems. Be kind … these online connections are a literal lifeline & fighting or harassment can and does lead to physical harm

#Christmas calendar for #Canadians with #disabilities behind every door we are reminded that we are unhirable, not worthy to feed, not human enough for a home, not loved enough for mental health and drug support, vilified as mouches, frauds and told to vote for social murderers.

Such a powerful & clear connection made by @imanibarbarin.bsky.social “They sold your bodies downriver, because your bodies, when they are sick and disabled, are profit centers. Are we figuring it out yet?” 💯😡 #covidisntover #maskup #disabilityjustice #luigimangione www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYq9Emjr/

If I leave the room for longer than five minutes my guide dog comes looking for me. I was laying on the bathroom floor earlier and he comes in to lay down beside me. Where you go, I go. Everywhere together.

ICYMI: This week’s article is about radical rest, harmful inner monologues and the ways in which we gaslight ourselves & push our bodies beyond what they’re capable of. When society makes it clear that productivity is the marker of a person’s worth - is it any surprise we struggle to slow down?

Can report there is still no opt-out. I'm part of a team of #milhist scholars that has voided its contract for a 4th ed of American Military History with Routledge because T&F sold out to Microsoft rather than protect its authors' IP. 🗃️ #academicsky www.thebookseller.com/news/academi...

My comments to the Senate Standing Human Rights Committee on youth leaving care “…by asking about youth leaving care you are perhaps starting at the wrong place. Like starting a book on page 253 instead of page 1. A wholly unsatisfying process.” theelman.com/index.php/20...

Today, gently contemplating a family doctor who hasn't the slightest idea what the criteria is for an autism diagnosis. It's a sensory and social communication difference, Doc. We didn't get a diagnosis for 'misbehaving'. Sigh. nypost.com/2024/11/14/o...
