Wrote a short film that metaphorically addresses this “gratitude” problem, via the story of badass federal agents doing badass things.

I know I'm a shit grant application writer but to get feedback that 'research on disability just isn't as relevant now that the pandemic is over' truly is astounding to see someone with a doctorate and critical thinking skills say to me in writing

UNHOUSED STRANGER sees me in my wheelchair

HIM: You need help, young man?
ME: I’m all right
HIM: You want a prayer?
ME: No, thanks
HIM: Better think on that, bc when I lay my hands on people, they ain’t NEVER the same

…is that a prayer or a threat?

Okay, just watched this short and fuuuuck!! It was so fun. And hits home in both an enraging and good way. How many times did I/we felt overlooked and mere checking-diversity-box material? Also, got a crush on Gerald Isaac Waters 😂 Easterseals Disability Film Challenge

One of the pluses about having lived with a physical disability all my life is that not even in my adolescence did I ever feel a need to performatively affirm masculinity through weird stuff like this

Not only is this petty and blatantly discriminatory - it’s also bad for business, as the influx of customers who are elderly or disabled (or who love those who are) would pay for the one-time installation of a ramp that generates more business.

A real self-own, all around

Just save yourself a headache and pay me to come with your family!

“That’s the thing with true ugliness. It does not come in the shape of a wheelchair or scars. It sits in prejudice, clawing its way into our culture until one day the nice man taking your child’s school photo asks her to hide her hearing aids.”

When you make the pitch for accessibility, be prepared for pushback. There are several myths and misconceptions, so it's good to be aware of what they are and how to dispel them.

LIVE OJ Simpson update!

Gathered today w a great group of disability activists in media to plan for an important convo re inclusive sets & rooms. 2 hrs later I was on a cool panel for Investing in Place talking about sidewalk safety/public investment. Now off to teach a university class

Meaningful day!

Possibly the stupidest person on Fox News - an incredible achievement. His math here is hilarious, itself, but the idea that working in a cramped & hot fast food space 'doesn't require much' when his job is to share his opinions w friends on TV while making millions...
