Disabled people "call on grassroots allies and government agencies to accept and adopt the language chosen by disabled communities."

For #IDPD2020 I wrote about how the words we choose shape the news for @ricochet_en: ricochet.media/en/3394/news-r…
Spoke with @a_h_reaume about why "crip" is a verb + how to edit out ableism 🖍
Heard from Neil Belanger about @BCANDS1's work + the creation of Indigenous Disability Awareness Month #IDAM 🔥
Chatted with @LCarterLong about etympology, insults + how « handicap » has been exported to 🇨🇦
+ many thanks to @NLPubLibraries for a microfiche (!) along the way 🤓
