It may feel Iike many disabled people are often saying the same thing.
For example, disabled people need to be at the table and listened to when it comes to all things disability.
We have to keep saying it because it’s not happening.

Writers, as an experiment, I invite you to try not to use "crazy" or "insane" as pejoratives. If you play with it for awhile, you may well find it feels off, like using "lame." Ableist (and mental health ableist) language abounds, but give finding other words a try for awhile.

If you’re not paying attention to the SCOTUS oral argument today regarding criminalizing unhoused individuals, you should be. Homelessness is a significant issue for disabled people and this case would be detrimental. – at Norman, OK

Did you know Sojourner Truth had a disability? It influenced her decision to escape slavery. Watch to learn more about her life as an abolitionist and early architect of #BlackFeminism.
