I'm not celebrating #DisabilityDay today. I'm not going to post stats again or raise awareness about inequality in higher ed. I'm not going to write again and again about how every disabled student faces discriminatory processes in higher ed and the job market. 1/4
Quite frankly I'm tired of awareness days. I'm tired of proving my humanity. I'm tired of compiling evidence of my oppression to try to convince you to care. As a disabled person, I deal with ableism every single day. I don't want to partake in a day of awareness. 2/4
Because for me awareness needs to happen every single day. Because for me awareness doesn't better my life. I need allies to take action. I need allies who recognize my oppression before it happens and call it out when it happens. 3/4
