It’s hard to be kind when every major institution is built on ableism and white supremacy plus cultural bias that reinforces the message that being disabled is a fate worse than death
@Dannythefink: The bill is careful & thoughtful & will allow terminally ill people to die with greater dignity & control. Some people don’t want that right or don’t think others should have it. I do. & we will all just have to be kind to each other about our difference of opinion
How many times I saw the word "tapestry" in undergrad papers in the 20 years I've been marking papers before the invention of ChatGPT: 2. Maybe 3.
Number of times in the two years since the invention of ChatGPT: 60. Maybe 70.

Despicable. Utterly, totally despicable.
Breaking: In just the first 3 months of Israel's war in Gaza, Canada approved a whopping $28.5M in military exports to Israel. @melaniejoly has been deliberately misleading the public in claiming that Canada hasn’t sent weapons to Israel since Oct. 7 cjpme.org/pr_2024_02_10_arms…
Tell Canada: Support ICJ's important decision on South Africa’s case against Israel. Take steps to end genocide in Gaza! @justintrudeau @melaniejoly @bobrae48 @cjpme nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZBQ7CjjEH_…

When you have a disability or neurodevelopmental condition, your need for accommodations doesn't just end when you leave school.
Why is it that our access to accommodations so often seems to though?

Be even better if you enforced the equality act & building regs, maybe create a fund to help businesses be more accessible, with free information, & ended trying to cut support & benefits for disabled people. A carchy hookline isn't what we need.

An element of academia which continues to floor me is that three people in a department can teach the same amount of classes, but one person makes 100k+, another makes 45k, and another makes 18k...and students have zero awareness of this difference.

The fight for marriage equality isn't over according to disability advocates. Disabled people who rely on programs like SSI face steep penalties if they choose to tie the knot. I wrote about it @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2023/09/disabil…

Discrimination isn’t just happening magically while the university sits by helplessly—this is something they are DOING. They are making CHOICES that deliberately result in this exclusion.
They can literally choose to stop and actually create inclusion ANY TIME.

They refused to authorize the *transcriber* to get equipment from IT services.
So first it’s that they simply can’t find anyone willing to do it…
And then when someone IS willing to do it, they ban them from getting the equipment needed (a laptop) to make it happen.

On Tuesday, upon discovering that the access center made 0 arrangements for me to access my class, the transcriber for my class went to the access center HERSELF to request authorization to get a laptop from IT services so SHE could open a zoom session. The access center refused.

So I’m pretty sure it’s not legal for my university to be actively discriminating against disabled students by sabotaging an existing access accommodation that was proven to be well within the University’s functional limitations prior to them deciding that it shouldn’t be.
