Samuel Habib is continuing to meet amazing disability activists along the way, including ANDREW GURZA, Maayan Ziv and Spencer West at Hot Docs!

Hospital staff to me, a disabled person: “We just want to confirm that you do not want a DNR (Do not resuscitate) order.”
Me: “As I have told you a couple times already, I do not want a DNR.”

One request about a DNR is understandable.
Repeated requests about DNR’s are coercive.

Hmm? Announcing doing away with PIP on the same day parliament debates assisted dying? Do I see a theme?

No, she hasn’t.

Toni Braxton is a global ambassador for an autism hate group, Autism Speaks. Then publicly declared her child no longer autistic.

I get she’s a preacher’s kid, but she needs to support autistic adults who have exposed Autism Speaks as harmful.

Wise words from Kurosawa ❤️🔊

Shame on you. This was a mental health problem and you’re trying to make it about politics. You’re exploiting it for selfish reasons.

Great work by Michelle Uzeta at Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund
dealing with #FairHousingAct protections for #PeopleWithDisabilities who use service or support animals.

We NEED to be telling more disabled stories. In the press and on the tv. The stigma that allows Pip payments to be attacked AGAIN can only be solved by understanding and empathy. This cannot go on.
