Just a gentle reminder to be kind & compassionate to yourself for the things that were said & done when you were struggling with your mental health. It’s not your fault. Please don’t punish yourself. – at Lambeth, London

Beyond grateful and excited to have my first, first author paper accepted and readily available through @MDPIOpenAccess !! ✨😃 beyond appreciative for all the support to have reached this moment. mdpi.com/2673-7272/3/1/6
The trauma associated with trying to publish parts of my dissertation has been unfathomable. Everytime I look at it, I fall back into one of the worst times of my life. I pray one day I can look back and say “it was worth it” bc rn all I do is cry

For disabled people, inaccessibility is far worse than an inconvenience.
Inaccessibility is isolation.
Inaccessibility is segregation.
Inaccessibility is discrimination.
Inaccessibility is trauma.
Inaccessibility is exclusion.
Inaccessibility is ableism.

Being both easily distracted and time blind is really the 1-2 punch of ADHD.

Our paper shows STEM professionals with disabilities earn up to $14k less and are less likely to be in leadership roles than colleagues that do not have disabilities. It’s beyond time to prioritize tackling the ableism and inaccessibility embedded across STEM! @JHUDisability

If given the opportunity to quickly meet with the president, CEO or an extremely successful leader of a company- what questions would you prioritize to ask?

ALT Tan background with light green shapes in the corner, title reads “International Day of Persons with Disabilities” and in the center there is a graphic of a globe surrounded by a diverse group of people. Under the graphic reads the theme of IDPWD 2022. It says “ transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fueling an accessible and equitable world.”
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Created by the UN in 1992, today is intended to celebrate people with disabilities (PWD) and raise awareness about disability rights worldwide. On this day we recognize, support and celebrate PWD.
An inclusive & equitable world is possible but only if we respect & protect the rights of PWD. We must commit to a rights-based & intersectional approach to inclusive development: PWD are meaningfully engaged at the front & center of change as leaders and partners.
This includes active involvement in across all major areas of life (policy, education, healthcare, etc)
What are you doing to support & amplify the voices in your community?

Letisha Wexstten has spent her life proving that being born without arms doesn’t limit what she can do. Her startup wants to do the same for other disabled workers, and it comes at a time when employers are finally paying attention. bizjournals.com/stlouis/news…

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.
It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.
Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.
