Here's a fuller version of that Bertrand Russell quote that's been going around: "The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity..." 1/2 —>

www.aaup.org/report/again... “Unfortunately, troubling recent events suggest that some administrations are … engaging in what scholars of authoritarianism call anticipatory obedience—that is, they are acting to comply in advance of any pressure to do so.” Absolutely true. #AcademicSky

Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.

Another great #CFP for our followers - please share. #WomensHIstory

Millions of disabled students rely on federal protections and funding. It is scary to think about those disappearing. #DisabilityJustice

This is exciting. Was thrilled to contribute to this collection. Tell your subject librarian to pre-order it!

Preventive healthcare is the foundation of a healthier, more equitable society. This Supreme Court case could unravel decades of progress by allowing insurers to deny coverage for essential services. The well-being of millions is at stake. #HealthEquity #HealthJustice

Has your professional society spoken out? Time for all medical, public health and scientific organizations to speak up. Silence buys you nothing and it tells power what it can do, what it can get away with. We need to act fast.

Disabled and senior people constitute the highest number of deaths in climate disasters like wildfires and flooding due to poor planning and lack of investment by the govt. Something I wrote about wildfires in Northern CA: sf.curbed.com/2018/11/13/1... #LAFires #LAFirestorm2025

I read a post earlier from a doctor who was explaining how they saved a life by truly listening to their patient. The problem? They listened because the patient was a young, fit, cishet white man. They described him as “strong”, a father & employed … so they took him more seriously. 🧵

1. A teacher in Ohio who has worked at the same public school for 34 years was suspended without pay and threatened with termination for offering four books in her classroom library that contained LGBTQ characters. She's fighting back.

1. Today, 81 Democrats voted for the NDAA, which pulls care from the trans kids of military service members, in what is seen as a betrayal of trans people by the Democratic party. EITM has published a full, easy to read list of their names, and how to contact.

I would like a Bluesky setting where it didn’t show me images without alt-text.

The access of disabled people should not be at the discretion of nondisabled people.

Witnessed a fight where a disabled person asked folks to stop saying "special needs". Parents of disabled kids screamed it's a better word then disabled. A good reminder that abled parents of disabled children can do a lot of harm by assuming they know just as much about disability as the disabled.

We are the #Photography Workshop for people with #intellectualdisabilities. Our goals are 1) #inclusion, both socially and labor; 2) Increase our self-esteem; 3) Give visibility to people with #disability. We are happy to be at #Bluesky and we are ready to build a #community! #BillionStrong

I've been reading more about the hysterectomies among women in Maharashtra for a piece I'm writing and cannot think of a more upsetting example of reproductive oppression at the intersections of gender, capitalism & coloniality Without their periods, the plantations can extract more labor from them

“Autistic people should always be involved in research in a meaningful way and should be listened to at every stage of a project. By doing that, researchers can avoid inadvertently doing research that is either harmful to autistic people, or which misinterprets the findings." 🫠

“Loneliness one day may decrease cognitive performance the next day. Then, experiencing decreased cognitive performance can lead to increased #loneliness a few hours later, which may create the long-term relationship between cognitive decline and loneliness.” #Alzheimers #dementia #mentalhealth

"People with disabilities are the most extreme example of some of the failures of the health care system. It is definitely leading to health disparities,” Dr. Lagu said at a @pennldi.bsky.social lecture. Read more for suggestions on how to improve patients' experiences. ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/res...

A brief thread on alt-text. Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Okay, one of the things Twitter was really good for was sounding the alarm & driving calls to Congress when terrible legislation came up for a vote. Bluesky, IT'S TIME. H.R. 9495 would allow Trump to shut down any nonprofit by claiming they're "terrorists" www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-o...

As a user of AI-powered #AAC (Assistive and Augmentative Communication) technologies, I recognize both their potential and the significant risks they pose. These devices collect vast amounts of sensitive, extractable data—everything from basic usage patterns and location to detailed biometrics.

Accessibility is constantly evolving. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you’ve learned it all. The needs of people with disabilities vary, and so do the tools and solutions available to meet those needs. Stay curious, stay humble. #Disability #SDGs #HumanRights #Accessibility #Technology #a11y
