EVERY TIME AN ACADEMIC INSTITUTION REJECTS MY NEEDS AS A DISABLED STUDENT.
I am left to feel like I am not enough & that I am not worth it.
What a sad thought to think for someone who has been fighting the system and is passionate about research. Let me tell you one.....(1/n)

such a story that I have been in silence for about a few months but no more! I worked previously, around a few months ago in an in-person lab full-time. I was doing an independent study and was at a point of looking to start data collection. This lab btw isn't inclusive...(2/n)
in terms of its infrastructure. I was still somehow coping up with it with the help of my dear lab members but how long could i ignore the pain i got from the staircase that i am not supposed to use? By the 9th month of my time at the lab.. (3/n)
I don’t know why so many people working in wealth management keep requesting to connect and speak with me.
If you work in wealth management, I think you should know:
👉🏽 Nearly half of everyone in the UK that lives in poverty is disabled or lives with a disabled family member.
If you work in wealth management, I think you should know:
👉🏽 Nearly half of everyone in the UK that lives in poverty is disabled or lives with a disabled family member.
👉🏽 More than 600,000 disabled people in the UK are estimated to have £10 or less per week to pay for food and other costs.
👉🏽 Disabled people have to pay more to try and live the same lives as non-disabled people, but we have less or no choice due to inaccessibility, ableism and stigmas against us.
🌈Hi friends! Here's a quick refresher on some #ableist terms to stop using!
⏰REMINDER: It's okay if you're still working on removing these from your every day vocabulary - so am I! As long as we're trying♥️ #DisabilityTwitter #DisabledTwitter

Here's some common phrases that perpetuate #ableism... Especially because these terms/words are commonly used as "disses" or something negative.
#DisabledIsNotABadWord! Please do not say differently abled.. special needs.. etc.. #JustSayDisabled :)

It can feel extremely invalidating for #disabled folks to have their illnesses talked about so lightly, especially from folks who don't have those illnesses.

Being Autistic for me is so similar to having my invisible illness and being an ambulatory wheelchair user due to peoples judgements and assumptions about my disabilities and physical health.

(I’ve had 3 knee surgeries and will need a knee replacement eventually and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and heart condition etc)
1. People say I don’t look Autistic.
People also say I don’t look sick or disabled. But it’s not something you can always actually physically see. You can’t see Autism just like you can’t see a lot of disabilities and physical health conditions.

As human tragedy unfolds in #Ukraine & nations open their borders to those fleeing...
It is IMPERATIVE as a global community we recognise the disproportionate impact of war on #DisabledPeople.
Many will be unable to flee.
The #UNCRPD is clear 👇

(@manijadegarcia) Thinking about our survival; stress management; healing; & joy as #DisabledPeople I am immediately concerned about the levels of exhaustion & lack of access & safety for many of us to engage in #acceptance, #compassion, #community, #epistemology fully.

(@manijadegarcia) For example, Zoom fatigue is real & it bothers me how exposed vulnerable people are who come to social media for connection—since social media is run by the very people deeply invested in maintaining settler colonialism & its reliance on #epistemicide.

To everybody thinking they have the right to correct #DisabledPeople when they use that term, telling us it should be #PWD STOP. #PeopleFirst is not correct, it's outdated. Maybe listen to us, explore the #SocialModel & be a bit more humble.
To all the people who didn't get what I meant in this tweet, here's my beginner's guide to disability explanation of language like disabled people.
If you are really tied to putting "people" first when describing disabled people, to stick to the social model & be grammatically correct why not use "people who are disabled" or "a person who is disabled"?
Then we all win.
Then we all win.
