Been to the hospital today in my wheelchair. Really struggled getting around, even though my partner helped. Almost got tipped into a load of mud, having to take a detour around some roadworks. I terribly need a new chair and I have no idea how I can afford one.

I have graduated from a gluten intolerance to a full out allergy as I can no longer tolerate it (ingested) at all. I started a list of gf foods I actually like, as I find them, & thought I'd share it. Note: I know "whole foods" are best but not all of us can cook from scratch each meal #disability

Disability win!

Thank you everyone who shared my blog from November about First Bus' discriminatory attitude towards the 9U bus. Thanks to public and political pressure, First Bus has finally changed its position and will accept Disabled Bus Passes on the 9U.

New from me and a colleague today in @insidehighered.com

This has been on my mind for some time as a parade of articles like the recent piece in the Atlantic have attacked the work of my field to support disabled students. Proud to see it live! #accessibility #accommodations #disability

That is to say, the guilt many disabled people feel for not always being able to be eco friendly is heartbreaking! Even though it’s really important to take environmentally friendly steps when and where we can, accessibility must always come first #ableism #disability #chronicillness #accessibility

It sucks being a chronically ill college student because I'll never be able to participate in club activities or go to parties because keeping up with the work takes all my energy.
