Lotsa reporting on Trump's scapegoating of DEI for the DC plane crash; less news on his blaming people with intellectual disabilities. The DEIA program offers employment to talented and stigmatized disabled workers in government-- a stigma Trump is reinforcing. www.aapd.com/disability-o...

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

One of the ways that I've been processing the loss of David Lynch is by reading words about his work. One of my favorite pieces was written by Howard Hampton and produced for the radio by The Organist, a program that I loved dearly (shoutout @quailty.bsky.social). www.kcrw.com/culture/show...

Need to figure out how to make your home more accessible? How to rig up something to do it safely? Are your parents aging into needing these kinds of hacks & tips? I maintain a website that is a repository of ideas from disabled ppl & caregivers I talked to across the US www.disabilityathome.org

thought about trying out @zed.dev on macos and wow is it really 100 percent inaccessible with voiceover? I'm used to apps where some features are hard to nav with a screen reader; been a while since i've found one that can tell you that a window is open and... nothing else????????

I’m sure there are more folks out there who I haven’t connected with yet in disability anthropology or who use ethnographic approaches to critical disability studies. Send me a note if you’d like to be added! ❤️ #disability #anthropology #ethnography #CriticalDisabilityStudies

It's @quailty.bsky.social's personal experience, also commentary on how we all regard disability and our relationship with it, whether we have a disability or not.
