On the value organizing using your own brain: 🧵 For my PhD, I read a mountain of books and over 2,000 European printed and manuscript maps & atlases c.1450-1650 (and some older ones). I identified 200-ish maps/atlases with distinctive imagery of peoples of the Americas (not just stick figures). 1/

The process of organization is one of the strongest metamemory strategies. Cut that out, and you've cut out learning. As a teacher and cognitive psychologist I find this all so sad and frustrating and kind of incomprehensible.

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment. It’s not karma. It’s part of the human experience. Our bodies are frail, and given enough time most people will experience disability. The idea that we’re lazy, choosing not to “try hard” or want to be sick is a fallacy born out of ableism
