Are you a chronically ill/disabled/ neurodivergent scholar @ UAB? Check us out! The Fall Welcome meeting “No Spoons? No Problem!” is Friday Aug 15th at 12pm in THT936. (Far away? Blue and north green buses stop at an adjacent building Kaul/Dentistry). We will have trivia, snacks, and tea/cocoa.

Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth ! It’s okay if you aren’t proud about your #disability and it’s okay to have a complicated relationship with your disability (because lord knows I do). While I’m not often proud of my disability, I am disabled and I am proud of myself. #fibromyalgia #adhd #chronicillness

Please share! For Disability Pride Month, we are seeking neurodivergent academic faculty, instructors, & researchers at all levels to participate in a brief anonymous survey about their work experiences, coping strategies, & well-being. For info, go to: salisbury.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Weekend read: Body Friend by Katherine Brabon. 10/10 would recommend especially if you are trying to understand the experience of a loved one with #chronicillness and #chronicpain or are chronically ill yourself and want a relatable book. #booksky #disability
