I don’t understand why masks can’t become a general hygiene thing the world does from now on, just like washing our hands. It took a whole pandemic for the world to be like “wait maybe I SHOULDN’T go out if I’m feeling sick.” Like…huh!! Why were you doing that even before COVID*!!

*sans obligations like being forced to work, etc

Putting “young” high risk people as last for vaccines is eugenics, send tweet come follow me, i study & talk about disability

New intro thread, because time moves really quickly?

Here's who I am, what I do, some of my work, and how you can support me ⤵️ (1/10) I'm Kayle. 24 years old. I'm disabled & chronically ill.

I'm a writer, public speaker, and disability justice advocate.

I have my bachelors in media studies & my masters in disability studies. (2/10)

as promised, a thread on #CripTax

I want to talk about a very particular type of Crip Tax. For a more comprehensive idea of the extra costs with being disabled, check out @Imani_Barbarin’s hashtag #TheCostOfBeingDisabled! Let’s start off with asset caps. Many disabled people live with an asset cap, meaning they cannot own or make a certain amount of money. The most common limit is assets over $2,000.

ready for an introduction thread? here we go.

the name's kayle. i'm 23. i'm disabled and chronically ill. i got my bachelors degree in 2018 in some major called "Media, Society, and the Arts." my senior thesis was titled "Disability in the Age of Technocracy."

1/6 i will be getting my masters degree in december 2020 (if the world doesn't end by then) in Disability Studies. what is this, you ask? well, it's a lot of things. it studies disability from an interdisciplinary perspective.
