Just got my order of Alice Wong 王美華 Disability Intimacy 🤓 — the longer I live with #LongCovid & disability, the more the mission of Alice Wong feels so critical to everything we’re fighting for.
Asserting our experience into our culture is so key to changing minds.
I am in full solidarity with Dr. Schalk and all others arrested in Madison this morning. Shame on UW–Madison.
I just left the peaceful encampment at UW Madison. No arrests or direct contact with cops yet. I hope admin leave our students alone. So proud of each and every one of them. I’ll be back tomorrow 💜 #FreePalestine

Being a Rockwood Leadership Institute yearlong fellow has been amazing in every way, but I have to thank them for not only making our week-long in-person sessions masks required and providing us high-quality respirators, but requiring us to COVID test each day too. Community care in action.

Today, we celebrate #NationalPoetryMonth by honoring beloved poet & disability rights activist Laura Hershey. Here's part of her famous poem, “You Get Proud By Practicing':
Remember, you weren’t the one
Who made you ashamed,
But you are the one
Who can make you proud.
