Just came across the disability and climate change public archive project. such a crucial resource. Please check it out! …ilityclimatechange.georgetown.domains
Climate Justice is Disability Justice 💚 Environmental Justice is #DisabilityJustice 🌲 As we reflect on Earth Day, remember that every crisis disproportionately impacts Disabled people. The solution = Disability Inclusion #EarthDay2024 #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalJustice
Now that we know she is uncertified herself to teach NYPD ASL, how safe are fellow deafies in NYPD situations when they try to interpret? What if they misinterpret what the deaf person says because they are not fully ASL fluent? This isn't safe or okay. THIS IS SCARY.

Many times the parameters of "doing" are altered when disability enters chat like when ppl think listening to an audiobook is not "reading." That's often bc they've never had to think of alternate ways to complete tasks if it comes easy to them. It's a mix of privilege & ableism.
Encampments showing us the power of open + collective community commons. Barber shops, hot food, COVID PPE, medic tents + supplies. Imagine what is possible. Among rising incarceration of homeless people + criminalization of using public space, these protests can teach us a lot.
Disabled shade >> Idk who they are, but I love this.
Don’t ask me why as disability advocates we’re talking about Palestine. Disabling people is a practice of genocide.

This is controversial these days but I think it’s bad if you get 5% of your entire population long-term sick in the span of 4 years, while reinfecting everyone with the virus that did it. I think it’s not good. I think we should do something about it. I’m ~weird~ like that

Student protesters are clearly more organized, democratic & rational than anyone currently in government The encampments look to be more functional than Congress
Reminder of what they're protesting against.

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Paramedic who injected Elijah McClain with ketamine before his death avoids prison, gets probation.
we need an energetic movement full of people who can say that they used to be wrong, confused, or ignorant about lots of things. we need that level of humility in our organizing. this is what political education is about
one of the greatest lessons i’ve learned in organizing is to not blame people for being surprised when they find out how bad the world is, even when it hits them late in life. not people who feign ignorance, but people who are truly surprised
Now that we know she is uncertified herself to teach NYPD ASL, how safe are fellow deafies in NYPD situations when they try to interpret? What if they misinterpret what the deaf person says because they are not fully ASL fluent? This isn't safe or okay. THIS IS SCARY.
NYPD recruits taught basic ASL as part of training to better communicate with deaf people during emergencies trib.al/SSDSsnZ
We love an accessible protest. Sitting while protesting is still fucking protesting!
I just drove by a retirement community in Baltimore. Residents are gathered outside wearing keffiyehs, waving Palestinian flags. Not a huge crowd but out of frame they stretch the block. Heartwarming!
There is no disability justice without a free Palestine

My faculty harasser, who was found guilty of violating department and university policies by IU Title IX, was not banned from IU Bloomington campus. He was only banned from department space/events. Not banned from campus as a whole. And yet this student was banned for 5 years.
UPDATE: A student protester who was arrested today has been banned from IU Bloomington’s campus for five years according to a photo of the trespass notice. @idsnews

NEW: Organizers from @ASU tell me state troopers zip tied and arrested a student who was barely conscious, after fainting from a POTS episode. Street medics tried to help her—they arrested the street medics. When her father came to help her, they zip tied him too.
I'm boycotting but still super excited for the new releases. I also find comfort in their music & am still listening to it, I'm just not streaming. I'm using the albums I purchased in the past, which I've added to my phone. My money just isn't going to HYBE any longer.
I’ve been hesitant to say anything about this because I know things get thrown out of context so much on twitter it’s insane, but I have to speak my truth and say that I think it’s unfortunate that some people think they can’t be excited to support BTS’ music because of what’s…
Disabled shade >> Idk who they are, but I love this.
I think it’s so interesting how all the kids are wearing masks and the organizers specifically explained to press that they are wearing masks as an act of community care and to stop COVID spread and the progressive politicians showing up still refuse to mask 😷
@persianjewess @AOC in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University.
Twitter quotes don’t do justice to this superbly insightful & moving commentary on #ableism & Canada’s #MAID #Euthanasia’s impact on disabled persons. A must read for anyone interested in health care & policy. It’s about so much more than MAiD free spaces…policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
Don’t ask me why as disability advocates we’re talking about Palestine. Disabling people is a practice of genocide.
Israeli attacks cause more than 10 children per day lose a limb in Gaza and it has been going on at this rate for months. This is a crime against humanity.
This person said: Oh, this movement is so much better, stronger, smarter, more diverse in ways that matter. This movement is also much better at collective care than we were.
