Excellent thread. I can appreciate how DEI terminology has and will continue to evolve.
Bedford Palmer II, Ph.D.@DrBFPalmer16 Jan 2023
Folks are tired of hearing the term “microaggression,” as many “DEI” professionals use it to minimize acts of oppression. But did y’all know the term was coined because, at the time, covert, subtle, and indirect acts of racism were almost impossible to call out? 🧵1/10

Like many of you, we’ve been following along the changes on Twitter since the change of ownership this past October. In an op-ed, @VilissaThompson reflects on how #DisabilityTwitter has been a transformative means of connection for many disabled people: 🧵 prismreports.org/2023/01/06/…

Twitter’s meltdown isn’t a punchline for disabled communities

Disabled users fear the loss of Twitter-based networks they’ve spent years building for communication, commerce, and connection

Two words, each hundreds of years old, that are still worth holding on to: ‘respair’: fresh hope, and ‘resipiscence’: a return to a better frame of mind. Here’s to both in 2023. Happy New Year.
