I feel worn out, but we got 16 of the 17 of the teachers of students w. visual impairments cohort to graduation- submitted all grades to make it happen. It is the the first time that I taught the same people for two years. I hope to see them all walking for graduation. #MyFirst #Cohort13 #TSVI

"Out of sight, out of mind ..." When this practice becomes policy, #disability communities die. Watch, listen, learn, share.

I am a teacher & have worked with children with #disabilities for decades. There are so many #discriminatory practices I learned of in BC in just 1.5yrs of living here- and no real legal protection. If you can support this family pls. We are pre-ADA times in 🇨🇦 www.gofundme.com/f/help-james...

About 3 or so years ago, we stayed at a friends’ house while we attended a conference in SF, and I took a pic of a book: Unworthy Republic. It is my current read. Its a must read for those who want to learn about colonialism and gaslighting. #EDID #HumanRights #IndegenousRights Link below

I am so grateful to have a job, where I can take half a day to tend to my health and live in a place where I can take public transport and walk. (Now if i could also score a family doctor - its been nearly 2 yrs of waiting) #Vancouver #BC #grateful

Drove south, by the 99 you can often sight eagles.They make me irrationally happy and remember when in N.CA at camp seeing one was a treat. Learning how salmon and eagle ate essential local first nations makes them even more cool. #Eagle #WinterInBC #SnowInTheClouds

Maybe this is why there is no way to disable copilot on Mac. Been so frustrated. I need cloud for collab but might need to switch away from 365. No notice from MS makes this shady as F* Check your subscription! Ps: Adobe discontinued standalone software going to subscription model #Monopoly

I was in a training this week and a quote was shared in the chat, which I promptly shared on the weekly discussion board in my asych course. It has been fascinating to see how the students- for whom this is the last course (on multiple disabilities) before their MEd have reacted. 🧵1/3 #Autonomy
