for those of you playing along at home with the disability policy course, the Intro to EDI and Disability Justice (Week 3) lesson is posted!💜

this one has a LOT of beloved community collaborators. i'll give you a summary [thread 🧵🤍]

2/ ok so far be it from me to claim i can explain ALL OF DJ in under an hour [70min runtime] so i decided to ask some of my favourite grassroots cds/mad gang activists for their "heartfelt knee-jerk definition" of disability justice, as non-academic as possible and they delivered
3/ we had "canonical" takes from @sinsinvalid @PattyBerne and Naomi Ortiz, more canon from @thellpsx and @projectlets 💜

and then beloved community takes from @HannahntheWolf @daniellelorenz @AdamHubrig @alexhaagaard @LabergeElaine @AnnGagne @travisclau & @_roseyesha screencap of slide, center....
4/ i used the schizophrenia thread from this weekend as a "showing not telling" example about dj acting as a counter-system to the systems designed for exclusion. this slide summarizes 10 minutes of ranting about healthcare policy and mobilizing mad warning systems. screencap of slide, right i...
5/ then we took up the readings from @sinsinvalid and @alexhaagaard and we talked about dj as a verb-state: you can't so much "show" disability justice" as "be" or "practice" disability justice.

it's hard transformative work we do for ourselves, on purpose. 🤍 right image from Sins Inval...
7/ next Monday's lesson is INTRO TO MAD STUDIES & DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION. this is my absolute bread and butter so i'm thrilled to lecture on this. see you soon~ 🤍💜

[discord synchronous workshop demo thread 🧵]

back on my bullshit talking about discord + accessible compassionate pedagogy. i have been fine-tuning SYNCHRONOUS STUDENT WORKSHOPS and i'll show you how i pulled it off in pandemic learning. 💜 screenshot of DISCORD showi...
2/ the screencap above shows the server classroom, with the Voice Channel active on left-panel (me + students), my powerpoint centered in the live feed broadcast, and my video feed + student listeners on the right hand panel. they can see me, my slides, and each other's avatars.
3/ i start the shop with very specific directions and i SHOW THEM me walking through how to interact with the server (joining the right room, uploading documents, sharing their drafts with each other). they can chime in via audio or text chat on #classroom-live channel anytime.

[COVID and schizophrenia thread 🧵]

did you know that the strongest risk factor for dying of COVID is age? probably.

did you know the SECOND strongest risk factor is schizophrenia diagnosis? let's talk eugenics bc i have schizo & covid and i don't want to die out here.
2/ JAMA did a 7k patient study and CONFIRMING another study that found obvious association between schizo and fatal covid prognosis.

interestingly, other mood disorders did NOT show this correlation, including other SMI class illnesses.
how is covid "detecting" schizophrenia?
3/ JAMA reports if you're schizophrenic, your odds are 2.7x greater for dying of COVID than any other risk factor except age. other studies (re: Frontiers) reports 3x higher in a separate test group.

so i am THREE TIMES more likely than you to die of covid, and i'm turning 30.

periodic reminder that if you send a student to health services and they admit they have been considering suicide, they will be arrested on site (Canada/America).

i have been handcuffed three times and taken to the hospital, where i am guarded by 2 officers.

not care work. 1/
2/ and i think this stems from "we want to ensure they get help!" but i'm not thinking that with steel cuffs grinding my wrists when i asked for help. i'm not thinking that when people are afraid of me in the ER. i'm thinking that i should never have admitted anything to anyone.
3/ the protocol is there because when you're suicidal you're a "danger" - but you're creating more harm. and it's TOO easy to lie to ER docs and say you were mistaken or you were "being dramatic" -- with "help" offered like that, who needs enemies?

you have other options. get

[thread on online pedagogy 🤍🧵]

1/ i am hell-bent on proving that Discord is not only a useful agent of online instruction, it's better & more accessible than the pandemic canon options. last year i did a talk on this, this year i'll SHOW you how this works in real time.
[img] discord screencap 1: a server featuring text channels and vo
2/ the first screencap shows the "classroom", a series of TEXT and A/V channels that by default DOESN'T REQUIRE VIDEO (no wall of blank screens!). it prioritizes text interaction and voice without video. THIS IS IMPORTANT. the left-hand side also features a NUMBER of sorted text
3/ channels that DO NOT DELETE after calls end, and they do not separate between calls. this keeps the text threads fluent and not dependent on synchronous lectures/video feeds. the right panel is the class, colour-sorted into "teams" (for peer editing) as well as avatars etc.
