The D Center will be hosting an event where we discuss disability costume appropriation, it's culture, and portrayals in the media. Join us as we speak on these issues in our society today. #UWDCenter #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPride

#Replug Disability is not a Costume event TODAY! Time: 4:00 - 5: 00 PM. Zoom Meeting ID: 994 0263 3532. ASL and CART Captions are provided. We are not only going to tackle the problem in halloween costumes but how this relates with media portrayals of people with disabilities.

This Halloween season, we always talk about cultural costume appropriation, but never disability appropriation. The D Center hopes to problematize what seem to be normal in our culture. Time of the event 4-5 PM! Zoom Meeting ID: 994 0263 3532 ASL and CART Captions are provided.

students shouldn’t get deported but neither should anybody else who’s trying to live here.... why are immigrants only important if they have a 4.0 and three degrees ? im so tired of seeing these impossible standards for us to live up to before we’re important enough to let live

There is no A Deaf community. There are deaf communities. Plural. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Symptoms may present differently on different skin tones! Most medical textbooks and guidelines only focus on white skin and this needs to be corrected, it has been the cause of so many undiagnosed and neglected people of color. dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic…

Spot on
Funny how Non Disabled folks go on and on about how inspirational and talented we are but when it comes to giving us jobs... no where to be seen. 😅
CW: physical abuse, violence.

Who is a DISABLED correspondent, not just a reporter who covers disability...there’s a big distinction

So apparently this film “couldn’t find disabled people in time.” Lmao, we’re 1/4. You could have literally closed your eyes, spun around and pointed and you’d have been able to cast an actually disabled person.

Too many Ableds only validate disability narratives if disabled people are striving towards abled-ness as the goal and it doesn’t sit right with me.

No the fuck it is not. Racism is a choice, mental illness is not.

Anyone else feel like disabled people are being pushed back behind closed doors? We are not included in any of stages for reopening. Places are being made more inaccessible. Barriers are being physically put in place to stop us participating.
