I am thrilled to share my article "Forced to Bear, Denied to Rear: The Cruelty of Dobbs for Disabled People," which is forthcoming in The Georgetown Law Journal! This article blends my interests in reproductive justice and the family policing system. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

When I was IN solitary 12 years ago, I thought no one knew or cared what we went through - certainly not national media. I never could have imagined I'd get out and write about it so much I'd end up with stories about solitary in the The New York Times and Los Angeles Times on the same day.

when people give me shit about masking — a not infrequent occurrence — I tell them I've got little kids and am a walking reservoir for hand foot and mouth

So I was in a restaurant when some random stranger came up to me, put her hand on my wheelchair and then said “go on then, tell me why you’re in the wheelchair.” Like why oh why would you expect me to tell someone my PRIVATE medical history because I’m in a wheelchair? (1/2)

Fahrenheit 451 was never my favorite Bradbury/dystopian fiction because it felt a little too blunt, too far-fetched in its metaphor— the state deploying high-tech 'firemen' to burn books to maintain its censorship regime? A bit on the nose. Currently reevaluating that assessment

“Moms of sick, disabled,or neurodivergent kids all have increased stress levels that make them more prone to mom rage,” Dubin observes." Yea, no. I was a sick &♿️ kid. Now I'm a sick & ♿️mom. "Mom Rage" is not a stress response to ♿️, it's an expression of hatred, shame & disgust

These videos about being a LAT parent were shot when I got back from mat leave. I was so busy juggling new roles that I couldn’t chime in. I will here: Our new contract isn’t about me. It’s about my kid + my ability to provide for her amid inflation + the rising cost of living ✊🏽

White vegans use the exact same tactics that white evangelicals use to determine the value of the life of others and enact racism with the cover of superiority. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

We need to stop depicting mobility aids as a sign/symbol of inability to be or do something. My mobility aids aren't a sign I'm incapable of doing a job or living a full life. They give me the opportunity to do my job, to live a full life.

For years, researchers say it was difficult to study health inequities that people with disabilities experience, because the way this population was classified by the NIH limited access to funding. Now, that's changed: washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…

I always wonder -- what "urgent action" will be needed, and if you live in a basement apartment, what are you supposed to do? Is the assumption that everybody has another place to stay until Saturday?

Something interesting(?) seems to be a trend: So many Palestinian friends, every Palestinian I know that I am speaking with, are checking in. Asking how my family/myself is. Condemning Hamas' atrocities. The only ones "defending" it seem to be "friends" in Western countries 👀

A lot of people decided they wanted to stake their reputation on denying this story without doing any of the work necessary to gather the evidence to support their conclusions.

After just one day of organizing, about 90% of our union walked out today in protest of management's devastating layoffs proposal and multiple unfair labor practices. We are so thankful for the solidarity shown to us during this historic work stoppage. ✊ 📸 Jay L. Clendenin / onto the next...
