This week is the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act. We have made great strides towards full inclusion, but there are still barriers. We must not be complacent. Here's my story for the @nytimes #ADA30 #ADA nyti.ms/3fSNCxD

For @BitchMedia, I wrote about the @CCBCwisc research that 3.4% of kids’ books have disabled main characters, the barriers to disabled authors getting published, and the #OwnVoices conversation. bitchmedia.org/article/disab…

Claire would have so much to say about what is going on right now. She would have been able to see the big picture, while staying grounded in how serious the present is. We will all get through this, but we need to support each other every way we can to get there!

I wrote for @BitchMedia about the importance of working remotely, how lack of remote opportunity leads to inequality, and why we need to protect rights for both employees and freelancers. @DisabledWriters #CripLit bitchmedia.org/article/covid…

Does anyone know of a horse riding stable around the LA area that accommodates disabled riders? I haven't found one since moving here and I really miss riding but it can be hard to find a place that accepts disabled riders!

Just finished up a really great @MDAorg Day on the Hill with over 100 meetings w members of the House & Senate about issues like #NewbornScreening #accessibleairtravel & #orphandrug !
