**Dad comes to visit my NYC apartment** "Did you caulk this shower yourself?" "Your washing machine sounds like an airplane taking off." "You know all your lightbulbs are different colors, right?" "Your toilets are terrible. Let's replace them." "Do you have a drill? Or a saw?"

Being disabled and chronically ill is beyond lonely. Far too many people in society can’t comprehend illnesses which are permanent & unrelenting but don’t necessarily kill you. As a result they EXPECT you to get better. When you don’t - they abandon you. 🧵/1

Fantastic to have Mimi Khúc at Fordham today. We all need more real talk about unwellness on college campuses. We need even more real talk about how our institutions create and perpetuate that unwellness. If you work in higher ed, PLEASE read her book. www.dukeupress.edu/dear-elia

Something(s) I wish folks knew: Accessibility is not a "one and done" practice. Access needs change, and accessibility varies by context & disability. Also, lots of folks have invisible disabilities and/or don't disclose disabilities, so accessibility helps folks who you may not think are disabled!

I teach an intro to disability studies class and one of the major assignments is an accessibility audit...and Im always surprised at how routinely amazing it goes. It just opens up students' eyes to space, and how public and private spaces are all too often designed AGAINST disabled people

The conflation of critiquing Israel with anti-Semitism is a tactical rhetorical move. It protects Zionism & the state of Israel from critique, even when that state is committing genocide. It also makes it really freakin' hard to talk about current events in classroom settings.

I’m seeing so many masks being worn at protests around the country right now. Thank you! Solidarity means fighting together to stop a public health disaster abroad while also engaging in health justice praxis locally. Our struggles are connected. 😷✊️

Really excited for my first AoIR this week! 💫 I'll be presenting a collaborative WIP on user bios and neuroqueer rhetorics. I'm a humanistic researcher of disability and new media who's currently working on a book project about shitposting and platform hygiene. Would love to meet some of y'all IRL!

More than 1,000 Palestinians are missing under the rubble in buildings bombed by Israel in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence - in addition to more than 2,600 already confirmed dead. The UN says Gaza is ‘being strangled and it seems that the world right now has lost its humanity.’

The moderation on Twitter/X is obviously a dumpster fire, but they're now allowing a government regime that's currently committing genocide to disseminate propaganda via sponsored "ads" which is... beyond dystopian.

I teach at a Jesuit university that holds social justice & human dignity at the core of its stated mission. It also banned Students for Justice in Palestine bc the club would "run contrary to the mission & values" of the school. Human dignity and justice, but not for Palestine.

I received Dissertation of the Year awards from NCA's Critical Cultural Studies & GLBTQ Divisions! I tweeted about this and it quickly devolved into "you support eugenics" & "you're in a death cult," which is a weird place to go. Anyway, I'm stoked about the honors. Here's a link to the diss:

Hi there! PhD student in Public Health. Interested in factors contributing to inequities in mental health resource access for marginalized populations, policy initiatives to close inequities in access and evaluation of training programs. Also obsessed with my dog (pic below as proof) 😁

NYC flooding responses: Governor of NY: "This is officially a State of Emergency. Stay home!" NYC Emergency Management: "Travel advisory in effect! Stay home!" MTA: "The subway is flooded! Stay home!" University officials: "Don't get hit by a tree on your way in."

A screenshot of an email. The text reads: "Dear Members of the Campus Community,
Governor Hochul has declared a state of emergency in New York due to heavy rainfall and local flooding.
The University remains on a normal schedule, but members of the University community should exercise caution while walking on campus, and avoid walking near or under large trees. Ram Vans are operating on normal departure schedules, but transit time between campuses may be longer than usual."

Not gonna lie, I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid BECAUSE of House. I thought the job involved constant engagement with patients, tireless searches for the right diagnoses, and never giving up until you found treatments that would make the patient better. LOL @ our medical system.

The FDA just approved a new COVID vaccine! BUT, the shot won't be free for everyone bc the US removed its state of emergency. Insurance will cover the shot but uninsured folks are at the mercy of vax manufacturers donating doses. Charity isn't public health policy. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/11/h...
