The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Hey, I see that you have difficulty overcoming executive dysfunction due to your disability. Here’s medication that will help with that. You just have to overcome your executive dysfunction every morning to take the pill that will help you… overcome your… executive dysfunction. Oh. Hmm.

Utilizing a disabled person’s access needs to censor their speech is disgusting. Alice Wong is a well known advocate who has always made their POV clear. Why invite an advocate if you aren’t going to allow them to speak on what you invited them there to talk about?
A new piece by me for about my adventures in public speaking and my rage against ableism and Boston University’s School of Public Health. Enjoy!

Watching through X-Files for the first time with partner, who is a lifelong fan. Currently somewhere towards the end of season 2. Love me some monster of the week sci-fi but oof, X-Files has a real “equating disability with criminality” problem. Thats 90’s television for you I guess.

They are pretending COVID doesn’t exist so they don’t have to provide basic worker rights like sick days, remote work, or worker protections. COVID is a labor justice issue.
