My mom has a disabled kid in her class and is teaching the kids it’s ok to say “disability” because “my daughter is a disability advocate and her community says it’s ok!”

Disabled pals, I need your help!
What positive impact does accessibility have on your life and how does it make you feel?
I’m writing a blog post on this topic and would love to include as many responses as possible. Reply to this tweet to be featured.

Okay so now I’m up to six adult stray cats and three kittens which is costing a lot to feed daily. Would people be willing to buy some cat food if I add to an Amazon wishlist? 😬
Also in talks with management to finally get them TNR too :)

Breaking News: I have been awarded the Society for Disability Studies Senior Scholar Award for 2022!
I got dizzy when I found out. I am humbled, honored, grateful, and thrilled. Thank you to the folks who read my work, wrote about the work, and collaborated with me. Thank you.

I just noticed that none of the major EDS charity websites has a page or info for how to handle EDS patients in an emergency.
What are some tips you'd like doctors to consider as a heads up for us in the ER / A&E?
I'll give a couple examples next but could use more...

I would rather have a compassionate system that a few people took advantage of, than a harsh system that allows people to die because they happen to be poor. – at Leeds, England

Please don’t ever try to make chronically ill people prove to you how sick they are.

I don’t want to be a trailblazer. I just want to exist without barriers. #DisabledInSTEM

What may be a minor inconvenience for you can for someone else be the difference between enjoying what few pleasures life offers and having to live imprisoned in their own home.

Patients should not have to pay for parking to see a doctor. What a scam.

FYI from a scientist to patients out there with physicians telling them not to google:
Your physician is likely not much better trained in research than you are.
If you fit the criteria & they refuse to listen & give no explanation, they’re no good.
Get a new one (if you can).

What should I be considering to make a physical lab space more accessible & equitable for scientists with mobility/physical limitations? I am planning lower sections of counter space that can be reached from a chair & low-height storage. What else?

70% of chronic pain sufferers being women. 78% of autoimmune disease sufferers being women. 70% of those with Ehlers Danlos Syndromes being women 🤝 80% of chronic pain studies being conducted on men. Make this make sense.
