A thread. 🧵 On Monday I was told that a board who has extended accommodations to me have been really helpful and obliging in meeting my needs and I should be grateful. Accommodations are not a favour. Accommodations are a mechanism to avoid discrimination.
I am thankful that they have chosen not to discriminate. I am not disproportionately thankful because they have not disproportionately provided accommodations above and beyond the letter of the law.
