For the first session of November 13th’s forum, blind Disability Studies scholar, theatre creator, and actor @DevonKHealey will expand on her theatrical practice called, Immersive Descriptive Audio (IDA). Register to attend here: buff.ly/4dR2YQf
A dancer lifts up another dancer under a bright yellow spotlight. Another dancer and the orchestra are in view in the background under orange and blue spotlights, respectively. The light design also includes streams of light that create fine angular lines that cross the stage. The image is against a gradient background with shades of purple, yellow, and orange. At centre right, a transparent circle frames the title of the session, “Developing a Rapport between Blindness and Sight: Immersive Descriptive Audio and Rainbow on Mars.” Additional text surrounds the image with information about forum session 1 with Devon Healey,

Smith vs. Rock This is what toxic masculinity looks like. It is the consequence of normalizing violence and then celebrating it...standing by it like a passive bystander and validating it. I respect both actors AND I've got alopecia (CCCA). Jokes hurt but this?! No. #Oscars

@TheCurrentCBC You talked to doctors about triage of life-saving critical care if #COVID19 overloads hospitals. How about talking to us disability advocates who are sounding alarm about serious risk of disability discrimination in that triage? #accessibility

You are covering ICU overloads. Please also focus on imminent danger to people with disabilities if Ontario’s #CriticalCare #triage protocol is invoked before disability discrimination is removed. acorta.me/2MH #accessibility #onpoli #OnHealth

Misleading webinar wrongly sells docs on using Ontario #CriticalCare #triage Protocol. Says #OntHumanRights Comission was consulted but misleadingly doesn’t warn that the Commision & we object to its disability discrimination acorta.me/2M3 #OnHealth

Ontario hospitals were urged to to trial drills/simulations conducting #CriticalCare #triage. Make results public. How different was the same vulnerable patient triaged from one hospital to the next? End the secrecy acorta.me/2M4 #OnHealth #onpoli

People with disabilities disproportionately get #COVID19, get worst symptoms & die from it. Ontario disability-discriminatory #CriticalCare #triage protocol impedes access to life-saving care. @fordnation Gov won’t answer our letters! Indefensible! #OnHealth

@fordnation Gov is considering whether to indemnify doctors who implement disability-discriminatory #CriticalCare protocol. Is it considering indemnifying patients who die as a result of that protocol? #AODAfail , #accessibility #CRPD #onpoli #OnHealth

So @fordnation Doug Ford, while you’re at it, how about also pulling back your disability-discriminatory #CriticalCare #triage protocol & your Government’s refusal to meet with us to address major human disability concerns? #accessibility #OnHealth #onpoli

Absurd that due to @fordnation Ford Gov secrecy, 1 year into #COVID19, the best or only place on the web to find #Ontario critical care #triage protocol is on the @aodaalliance health care web page acorta.me/2KH #accessibility #AODAfail #OnHealth
