Exhausterwhelmulated: Adjective

The feeling of being exhausted, overwhelmed, and overstimulated all at once.

Who can relate?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s impact on the civil rights movement inspired disability rights leaders to organize to create and pass disability legislation such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Follow his lead to stand for humanity, compassion, and justice today and every day.

How well a deaf person can listen and speak is not a way to measure their intelligence.

Reason 1,237 why deaf students need Teachers of the Deaf.

Teacher: “He’s not struggling because of his hearing loss, but because he won’t do the reading. I let him retake the test 10 times until he passes.”

😩 😡

Large thought bubble with text that reads, "Inclusion is a practice. Not a place, service, or program."

I often use my deaf self as an example. “Just because I am the only deaf person in this hearing-centric space does not mean I am included. I may be in the moment, but as soon as something in the environment changes, so does my access.”

“Inclusion” for disabled students manifests as integration.

Image of a couple of characters from the movie "Wicked" in the background with a text in a box overlaying it, from @priscillawrites: Since the Wicked premiere was last night, I think now is a good time to remind everyone that Wicked is a story about a weak man gaslighting an entire land into believing a woman was their enemy, all because she had the guts to try to stop him from silencing and stripping the rights of a significant part of the population. Inherently political, and unfortunately relevant.

#wicked Yup.

I participated in three Deaf Education Professional Development presentations in one week: two for future school administrators (consulted) and one for current administrators (co-presented). It barely scratches the surface with an audience entrenched in hearing norms.

Sign language access is a human right. Language withholding brings unnecessary blight.

Um. Yes!
Integration is not inclusion.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social was part of my morning routine and I expect she will be once again. I haven't finished processing our new reality.

Co-conspirators, where are you?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
