"It's important to know that college disability accommodations are free, so they don't need to attend one of the colleges that offer a program in order to receive basic adjustments such as extended test time for tests, permission to record lectures, etc.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

A portrait of Rosa the Southern sea otter at the Monterey Bay Aquarium as she floats on her back. She has soft, blonde fur on her face and chest, and wet, chocolatey brown fur on her tummy. Her small brown paws are raised up out of the water with the pads facing the camera as she looks off to the right. The muted morning light in the exhibit on a foggy morning has turned everything tones of sepia.

Today is bittersweet as we celebrate the first birthday without our beloved Rosa, the legendary sea otter who was a pillar of our sea otter surrogacy program. 🦦
