✍️ When democracies weaken, disability rights are threatened in many ways, our Post-doctoral Researcher Gabor Petri writes in an op-ed for @DisDebrief. Details: 👉 cutt.ly/Yr6I8zBx
Learning from twitter has shaped a lot of my life and career over the more than a decade I've been on here. Keeping up with disability twitter led to my current project writing about international news. But it's time to find new homes. Find me on @desibility.bsky.social

Q3 Why is it essential for the voices of the Global South to be included in disability reporting and advocacy? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #DisabilityDebrief
I write @DisDebrief to put a “disability lens” on world news. For me this means connecting lived experience with wider issues of policy and activism. See more about what I mean: disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/world-… #AXSChat

This World Mental Health Day, we're focusing on the workplace. For disabled people, access to work itself is a critical issue that impacts their well-being. Speaking to disabled people from India, I highlight the ways they try to make work accessible for themselves and others
“Finding accessible work is hard work.” Today's Debrief explores the challenges disabled people face finding work in India. disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/workin… By @whatnowanna, illustrated by @sonakshaiyengar and with insights from @drsitu, @drnoni_nonita, and @enableindia.
#disability at work: Are employers ‘Purple Washing’ to hide poor disability practice? - #work #access #inclusion #business @DisDebrief @DisabilitySmart hrnews.co.uk/are-employers-…
The root cause of unemployment among disabled is the belief that disabilities are defects. Also the misguided notion … when a candidate does not fit the mainstream idea of how a disabled person appears. And so people with mental illnesses & invisible disabilities are rejected.
