Thanks, Dan and Kathryn, for your terrific chapter!
Very excited that Ohio Under COVID, in which @Poements and I write (Ch. 1) about the gender politics of #COVID19 in Ohio, is now freely available from @UofMPress as an e-book. Or use code UMS23 for 30% off. It's a great collection--please check it out! https://t.co/SwM72qvvuV

The degree to which paternalism is still baked into national legislation is shocking. Still, there’s some good news here.

When one partner is disabled and the other isn’t, getting married could mean giving up lifesaving health care and benefits from the government.

Ableist language, writes @DrMLGodin, is one of the more persistent and ingrained versions of ableism: “And it’s not just nondisabled people who use it; disabled people, evidently including me, can be ableist in their speech, too.”

When @alexdstuckey told me months ago there were people needing publicly funded intellectual and disability services in Texas who were on waitlists for 10-20 years I couldn't believe it. It's true. And you can read it for free because our paywall is down.

The average Personal Care Attendant makes just $13,300 a year. Yet the amount charged to disabled people for PCA services can be so high they cannot remain in their homes. A complex issue that my amazing research assistant Meredith Chin sums up nicely in this infographic.

Ever wonder about your school's priorities? (Hint: sportsball and ill-defined "innovation".) We need more faculty to join the AAUP. Watch “AAUP Investigation of UC Budget” by @LaureQuinlivan on #Vimeo

My new co-edited volume is available now! Unfortunately, it is quite expensive- I would be grateful to anyone who could recommend it to their library to buy! I also have a 35% discount code to offer 🙂 https://t.co/S4rHdmVoED
