Being "able bodied" is temporary, you will age, you will get injured, you will get sick and you will wish you fought more for the system to protect the vulnerable.

Congratulations to all the athletes at the #ParisParalympics2024 games! It was an honor to watch you all compete.

We love seeing Dr. Komabu-Pomeyie bring her message of global #DisabilityInclusion to a larger audience. Thank you, UVM_Libraries, for making this possible.

Your chances of being able bodied your entire life are slim to none. It’s always in your best interest to advocate for a more accessible world

Also, anything that benefits disabled people will likely benefit you too. It was disabled people who did the work to make curb cuts in our sidewalks mandatory & you know who else benefits from them? Literally all of us

Again, obviously you should care about disabled people regardless of whether it ~benefits~ you or not, but prioritizing accessible/universal design objectively in everybody’s best interest

This should always 100% be your very first reason if it wasn’t already. Universal design benefits all of us, but we should care about who it benefits the *most* today, rn. Thank you oK

People pushing strollers, people carrying a lot of stuff, people trying to talk on their phones and walk at the same time, people in dodgy shoes. Literally all of us.

Great to see everyone at the staff retreat this week! Powerful conversations on how to move our work forward.

In related news, congratulations to the winning team of our staff retreat trivia contest, Pub Peeps! Trivia contests are a great way to get staff fired up about learning facts on accessibility, disability history, and where to find things in our department.

The era of tolerating mistreatment of airline passengers with disabilities is over. Today, our department is announcing a $50 million penalty against American Airlines for numerous serious violations of the rights of wheelchair users. cbsnews.com/news/american-…

readers, how would you feel about a book with a disabled protagonist due to long covid? the book is not at all about covid, it's just the character's disability I got told it's "too soon" or "too close to home" but I can't possibly be the only audience for this right?

Happy Birthday to Braille, and kudos to Dave for doing such an amazing job with this meme.
