I'm not much for a personal year in review so instead, to celebrate New Year's Eve, here's a thread of people whose work and presence meant something to me this year (plus if you -still have donation dollars, some ideas!):  

1/??? (here's a cat to keep your attention) A white and orange cat sits on a shelf and stares at the cam
2/ @WFPPups@SaulFKahn@raphyjacobson are both dear to me but also encouraged my addiction to enter button fury via textbanking to #VoteWFP. Love @nywfp @workingfamilies for investing in youth leaders & WFP Pups texting parties were among the bright spots of the 2020 election.
3/@SaulFKahn also works w/ one of my big hopes for South Asian feminist, socialist representation in @NYCCityCouncil, @ShahanafromBK. With disability advocacy, radical language access & more, Shahana's work is grounded in experience & love. Help them win: shahanafrombk.com/donate

Hello, everyone! It's your favorite ( or soon to be favorite) professor, Dr. Stephen Klusza, aka Dr. K. I am excited to be taking over the @DisabledInHigherEd account for the day. It's my first Twitter takeover and a very special one in advocating for all disabled people.
I am currently working on my first series of tweets where I will share the story of my past, the present, and my future as I would like to see it, so stay tuned. However, at this moment, I would like to thank everyone in the @DisabledInHigherEd executive team
for setting this up and inviting me to participate. It's an incredible amount of work and really marks another chapter in the fight for disability visibility, representation, and social justice. I am honored to be here!

It's disability pride month so here's a list of some of the ableist practices I hear in the academy all the time/have dealt with:
My grad school wouldn't postpone my enrollment for a year even though I was having brain surgery. So I enrolled in my PhD program 6 mo after (1/14)
My family moved me to school knowing I was still ridiculously sick and not fully independent after a decompression and a fusion. When I got there I had no stipend and no access to Grounds bc the uni forgot I was coming. (2/14)
I wrote the only guide to accessible teaching and pedagogy available to TAs at my uni. It was supposed to empower TAs to guarantee ADA accommodations. In it I explicitly stated it's a legal obligation to provide these (3/14)
