Hey though why is no one masked at the blood collection? #NSHealth especially when we are experiencing a high amount of disease this time of year. People’s inability To mask is disabling themselves and others

If you only do one thing starting tomorrow on International Day of persons with disabilities Start saying disability/disabled Euphemisms for disability are ableist. They contribute to the erasure of disabled history, community, ancestry & knowledges. Disability isn’t a bad word. say it. #IDPWD

Reminder that no one's religious beliefs supersede anyone else's freedom to live in safety and free from hatred

If you're not masking 😷 it's not disability justice

Disabled students should not have to be grateful to get the support they require to succeed, feel safe, and be nurtured in schools. Disabled people do not need to thank anyone for access and inclusion. It is our right.

Happy to have the opportunity to submit an essay from the heart.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Thank you Alice Wong

Did I mention that the Disabled Educators Curriculum Collective (to which I am a co-founder) has a chapter in this amazing book? www.tcpress.com/beyond-compl...

War is a mass disabling event.

I don’t know if you know this but a podcast isn’t going to solve teacher morale in a system that’s breaking under the pressure of being purposely underfunded - equity, inclusion and access cost money.

‘Accessibility is the first thing to go’: Committee gives input on snow clearing in Halifax By @suzannerent.bsky.social

Invisible disabilities are only invisible because systemic ableism erases our access needs and quantifies who qualifies to be disabled based on capitalist and neuronormative standards of production.

The term "Individuals with diverse capacities" is an ableist euphemism and an erasure of the disability community. Add another one to the "just say disability" list

Invisible disabilities aren’t invisible - they’ve been erased by ableism and ignorance towards the concept of neurodivergence.

A friendly reminder that 'neurodivergent' is a community-building term, and social justice matters with this term. We need to have more conversations about the disability community and who is privileged with social capital and who isn't, and why.

Friendly reminder that disabled people don't exist to inspire non-disabled folks. Just let us exist.

Good morning, Friendly reminder that disability/disabled is not a bad word.

Knowing that @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social is working on access and inclusion makes me an even bigger fan of our provinces museums. #DisabilityPride

So tylenol doesn't cause autism. I made a couple tshirts on my teepublic ($ goes towards helping me buy fun stuff for the disabled younglings I support daily) www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8073...

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!) The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness. LOUDER.

The "textbookificaton" of disabled ppl (non disabled so-called "experts" teaching health professionals, educators, etc, about disability & disabled ppl) is how ableism stays centred in inclusive ed & health care. Anti-ableist pedagogy/practice means we are taught about disability by disabled ppl

Here’s a pro tip. Don’t ask your disabled colleagues what their disability is. Even if they talk about how they’re disabled. It’s none of your business.

When we are speaking of disability research, finding ways of supporting disabled folks (in school, at work, etc), the lived experiences of disabled people MUST be central to what we call "evidence-based research". If not, it's just ableist (and usually props up eugenics).

The saying - No Justice, No Peace Is in order.

Abolition includes Mad Liberation.

Teaching is political. Gov dictates what must be taught (curriculum), & teachers are trained according to a mandated (& approved) curriculum. Stop pretending it isn't & make a decision on what kind of adults we want our students to become. I personally want more Ms Rachels in the world.

Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore is a coward Morning File by me

Queers for Palestine Ottawa understand that any justice movement means solidarity with all justice movements, that we are interdependent beings, and that my liberation, is your liberation is our liberation. No pride in Genocide. Queer justice is Disability justice is Palestinian justice.

We need more doctoral research to be an act of mutual aid. #DisabledEducator #DisabledPhDStudent

My research will not retrace or undo the strides already made by disabled scholars & activists, particularly those who are racialized, queer, trans, & multiply marginalized, who have long illuminated the systemic nature of ableism. Read their work & stop asking me to prove ableism is systemic.

NOTE: Councillors Kathryn Morse, Sam Austin, Shawn Cleary, Laura White, Virginia Hinch, and Jean St-Amand voted against funding the Davis Cup.

Unis need to understand how disabling tuition is, how inaccessibility isn't just about a lack of accessible academic spaces. It's also about how much people are charged to get an education. If a university's DEIA initiatives don't include how to make the institutions affordable, it's not true DEIA

There is a difference between accommodating access needs and giving a pass for everything based on the ableist belief that disabled people can’t have personal responsibility Presuming competence can mean presuming understanding of consequence too. I’m disabled, not incapable

It is not just our right to survive, it is our right to thrive. Not just a livable wage - a thriveable wage. For all. #LabourJustice is #DisabilityJustice

Centring disabled lived experience in the design and implementation of access and inclusion is imperative to universal design (and universal design for learning) #DisabledEducator #YesDisabledPeopleTeach

Community is critical - always. But particularly during an emergency. If you have neighbours who may need assistance to evacuate, connect and make a plan. We cannot rely on the system to be accessible in a crisis.

Climate justice is disability justice.

So proud that DECC (the disabled educators curriculum collective) has a chapter in this new book: beyond compliance in early childhood education: centering disability, freedom, and belonging.

Disabled people are the disability experts. Autistic people are the autism experts. etc etc etc. The fact that we have to keep saying this shows we still have a long way to go.

My PHD research asserts that for education to be truly inclusive, experienced disabled learners must be central to teacher training. Disabled folks are the experts in creating equitable, supportive classrooms, & should be at the core of enlivening inclusive ed. Nothing about us, without us.

Fighting for disability rights has to include fighting for people whose symptoms of their disability that may make you uncomfortable (i.e. people with schizophrenia).

Access is a universal right.

If you call me a “person with determination” rather than a disabled person. No. Your euphemisms prevent me from accessing the disability community they are ableist and contribute to disabled erasure. It’s DISABILITY pride month

With deep sorrow, we share that Sins Invalid’s Co-Founder & Director, Patty Berne, joined the ancestors on May 29, 2025. Patty’s brilliance, love, and vision shaped how we move, care, resist, and imagine. We honor her by continuing the work she led. 🖤 #PattyBerne #SinsInvalid

ASAN mourns the loss of Patricia "Patty" Berne, co-founder of Sins Invalid and a trailblazing leader in the Disability Justice movement. #PattyLivesThroughUs

Looking forward to attending the disability pride flag raising at Province House tomorrow at 11! @nspfpe.bsky.social @nsteachersunion.bsky.social - would love to see lots of folks show up for our community :) @novascotiandp.bsky.social
