I fully support #CripTime and it almost took me a full day to reply to the #DEHEMChat this week. I think that this also applies here for this topic about trauma to think of the impact intersectionality and identity has on how we experience our disabilities. I think that if I

Hi, I’m Tara. I’m a multiply disabled social psychologist currently on (extremely extended) unpaid medical leave from my Banting postdoc at UBC.
My life lately has been dominated by the consequences of having severe, refractory relapsing polychondritis (RP).

🧵
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is an extremely rare autoimmune (& potentially also autoinflammatory) disease that attacks cartilage & cartilage-like tissue throughout the body. I had symptoms for decades but was only diagnosed in 2020.
My RP has caused tracheobronchomalacia (TBM).
My RP has caused tracheobronchomalacia (TBM).
What TBM means for me is that my lower trachea and mainstem + subsegmental bronchi collapse when breathing out. My collapse is at 100%, and I now require positive pressure ventilation nearly 24/7. So that means using a BiPAP or ventilator throughout the day & night.
We want to share our updated schedule (Last update promise!) Screen-reader version available [google doc] tinyurl.com/DEHEMFullSched…
We are so happy with the response so far & look forward to continuing our celebration of people with disabilities/ the disabled in Higher Ed! #DEHEM

Last week was our (half) week! This included our #DisabledRollCall/ #DEHEMRollCall, Diversity of Disciplines, discussions on NSF GRFP, mentors, medical school and personal statements and of course yesterdays awesome takeover with @codebiologist! #DEHEM
This week is Disability 101 & Intersectionality. We are looking forward to takeovers by @arianaelena97 (Tues), @nolan_syreeta (Wed) & @geomechCooke (Sat), our Fri discussion on Intersectionality, we're sharing our talk from @iscientistconf on How To Be a Good Ally & More!
Just a heads-up for those participating in #DisabledRollCall and #DEHEMRollCall, if you could try to make sure images are accessible with alt-text or image descriptions; videos with accurate captions, color-blindness friendly colors on images/graphics; and...
camel-case with the hash tags, where each word begins with a capital (e.g. #DisInHigherEd, #DisabledInSTEM), that would be much appreciated. We want to make sure our event is as accessible as possible. So, that everyone can join in and participate in the fun!
And if anyone else has any other suggestions to making posts more accessible, please let us know via DM!
What do we have in store for #DEHEM? Well, a lot!
