🚨 @uscensusbureau is changing the way disability data is collected which reduces national disability estimates from 14% to 8%! These changes will negatively impact disabled people and have moved forward without input from the disability community. 📢Action you can take below!

In her #Uncharted essay Jennifer L. Piatek nicely describes opportunities & costs of disability. I love how @squawky points out that the glorification of independence in geoscience is at odds with the more inclusive interdependent culture of care within disabled communities.💯

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Three months before his death, Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. But an autopsy later showed that he actually had Lewy body dementia - a devastating brain disease that shares characteristics with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Experts were stunned by how much the disease had ravaged his brain. One doctor said, 'This was about as devastating a form of Lewy body dementia as I had ever seen. It really amazed me that Robin could walk or move at all.'"

A sad day mourning the loss of disability revolutionary @judithheumann who paved the path for generations. I talked to her weeks ago & her last words before ending the call were “never stop fighting.” May we all heed her advice & keep fighting for a more inclusive & just world.
