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.

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.

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.

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.
