Brutal.

Abuse isn’t enough, they have to silence kids too: “They threw away all my drawings,” said 15-year-old Cariexis Quintero… . Her mother, displaying a pile of colorful paper scraps, detailed how the guards “stormed into her room looking for drawings and letters” & then “destroyed what they found”

Welcome to bluesky @ccos-ctsa.bsky.social I've enjoyed my time on the working group focused on inclusion of ppl with disabilities in research.

Being a Disability Rising Fellow for @disabilitylab.bsky.social is changing my life! I am going to be sad when it ends in June!

Gaelynn's writing is such a joy to read. Absolutely worth getting on the pre-order bandwagon!

Gaelynn Lea@gaelynnlea.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Thank you so much to @emilyladau.bsky.social for reading Gaelynn’s new book in advance and providing this wonderful quote! You can pre-order a copy of “It Wasn’t Meant to Be Perfect” here – the release date is April 14th: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/gaely...

Excited to purchase the upcoming memoir from @gaelynnlea.bsky.social fellow OIer and incredible musician/artist/worldchanger. Preordering books is a meaningful way to support authors.

I don't want to think about how many many many hours we all poured into opposing this inhumane attempt to eliminate important work...when we could have instead been doing the important work.

The spending plan retains the Administration for Community Living, which oversees programs helping people with disabilities access all range of services in their communities and advocates for the needs of people with disabilities. www.disabilityscoop.com/2026/02/05/t...

Narratives that excuse or justify murder based on the perceived burden of disability are not only disrespectful and ableist to the victims but they devalue the lives of the living. Push back on these narratives. Solidarity with my Australian disabled friends💗

I didn't used to mind going to the dentist-now I dread it. They never fail to make ridiculous comments about how well I operate my wheelchair 🙄 I've considered many times finding a new place but how do you query for that?! "Yes-hello-new patient here. Do you routinely insult your patients?"

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Offline moments this weekend: 1) Valentine shopping with my youngest while waiting for softball practice across town 2) a long overdue workout complete with cardio and weights 🏋️‍♀️3) baked and iced cookies 4) attempted a new pork loin recipe that was admittedly pretty terrible, but I tried!

Today I'm presenting to the Northwell Health System as part of their Health Equity Event about "Beyond Accommodations: Anti-Ableism in Psychology Training and Supervision". It's a new talk for me and I'm excited to share some practical strategies and try out Aha Slides as well.

We had eradicated this disease. And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

Some days I feel like-100 years from now people will still say "We've never had a disabled person do xyz" or "I'm the first disabled person to do xyz (when they often aren't)" and also "there's no work done in this area (when there is)......not because any of this is true but this is the default.
