Mass Health just denied my son’s Rifton activity chair on the grounds of not meeting medical necessity. I guess they didn’t read #BeUnapologeticallyImpatient. Yet. Stay tuned. I’m just get started. And so is he. #careaboutrare #joy #justice #inclusion

The return of the R-word is about more than language. When disability becomes an insult or political weapon, it shapes how we understand human worth and belonging. @drchriscip.bsky.social joins me to discuss disability, political rhetoric, and resisting dehumanizing language with justice and joy.
