When disabled people recount invasive or infantilizing treatment from abled strangers, we will often hear: “They just didn’t know!” What knowledge do you already have about other abled people, but lack about disabled people, that prevents you from treating them like that but not us?

Billionaires used COVID as an excuse to permanently price-gouge consumers and become even richer, widening the already yawning income and quality-of-life gap between them and the rest of us. But sure, let’s be mad about teachers trying to shield themselves and their students from a deadly illness.

Last night I mentioned only 8% of hearing parents learn enough sign to have a 2-way conversation with their deaf child. Many reasons, but a lot of stems from misinfo. Here's a letter of mine where I busted some of the biggest ASL/ language acquisition myths: buttondown.com/signs+wonder...
