Incredible article about the force that is Alice Wong! 🧡
For 'disabled oracle' Alice Wong, rest is a radical act latimes.com/california/story… featuring @SFdirewolf #Disability #Memoirs
In today’s edition of What People Will Say to Avoid Saying Disabled: “people with limitations”

Not enough people are talking about the tragic loss of Jif peanut butter in this year of our lord.
Hit me with the alt PB recs, I’m desperate
Am I citing this tweet in my dissertation proposal on inclusive design? Yes, yes I am.

Exercise for designers and design researchers:
Someone asked me this week, “when you talk to someone and say “Good designers do ‘X’”, what are the top things you list?”
#DesignTwitter
Good designers seek to build a more inclusive, joyful, and equitable future. Good designers push for radical change while also recognizing that our lives are the culmination of small moments. 3/
I have arrived. I just received an invitation to a dog’s second birthday party and never been more sure that I have found my people 🐶🥳

I think many of us "elder" crip academics know this, but I want to say explicitly that disabled students do NOT have to register with disability services.
(a short thread thinking through disability services after Harvard revelations)
How many journal articles have I read over the years? And now I'm one of them 🥲 Feels amazing to see my work published like this #DesignTwitter #AcademicTwitter

A conference: "We are fully accessible!"
Also the conference: "We will be running from 9am - 7pm"

An engineer told me recently: “even if designs are only meant to be functional, they should also be aesthetic.”
I mean, yes. And as a friend of mine said, “that’s like saying, ‘I like this building. It’s so architectural.’”

One of my favorite things is needing a citation, remembering your friend has written about the topic, and then going to their Google scholar profile to find and cite their work 🥲
It’s the little things #PhDChat #AcademicTwitter
I met Erin several years ago in DC when she was giving a talk with @SylviaEarle on their work in marine conservation. Being able to now order her book and share that work with my nieces and nephew?? We love to see it #WomenInSTEM
She’s heeeere!! UNREAL to see the final product, @Beavs' illustrations are so vibrant in real life.
Coming to bookstores March 29!

Will never forget @A_Slaton describing corporate DEI efforts as “add minority person and stir” 😂
Thanks for a great class this morning Dr. Slaton! Feeling excited to think about ARL (“abolition, redistribution, and love”) as an alternative to DEI.
