Universities target individuals in redundancy processes. We've all seen it. They see some people as too difficult, too female, too diverse, too disabled, too outspoken, too union... Proud of @NTEUnion. Shame on @Macquarie_Uni. Solidarity Jo & Jumana! ✊ abc.net.au/news/2026-06-2…

Today is Disability Day of Mourning. People with disabilities are far more likely to be trapped in abusive relationships. To be killed. To be assaulted. We’re forced into legislated poverty & made to be dependent on people who don’t always have our best interests at heart.

Chronic illness creates a double bind most people never notice. The more private you are about your symptoms, the less people believe you. The more you share, the more you’re judged for talking about it. There’s no winning.

People complaining about children being fed and parents being able to get to work easier are evil. I said what I said. People shouldn't have to struggle because people struggled in the past. Why would you argue against progression. Pure selfishness and greed.

Remote work is one of the most powerful accessibility tools we have. For many disabled people, it’s the difference between being able to contribute or being excluded altogether. Claiming that in-person work is inherently “better” isn’t just misguided, it’s ableist. It devalues those of us who can only participate remotely (myself included) and reinforces a dangerous narrative that disabled voices are optional, disposable, or less valuable. And don’t even get me started on the unnecessary climate impact (I’m looking at you in-persona academic conferences). But remote optiobs aren’t just more accessible to disabled people, they are a better option for parents with young children, people in remote areas, those who cannot afford to commute, and many more. So if you prefer in-person, that’s fine. But please keep that to yourself and work on being more flexible for the sake of inclusion.

'I know someone who got disability benefits for depression!' 'I know someone who got disability benefits for anxiety!' 'I know someone who got disability benefits for ADHD!' Yes, those are all valid disabilities. What point did you think you were making exactly?

Faculty who complain that accommodations undermine the quality of education a university can provide should be fired.

I’ve been screaming from the mountaintops for at least 5 years that most students are being required by many different forces to attempt too many credit hours and, while not the only explanation, being stretched too thin with little likihood to succeed is one reason for ⬇️

A Pattern I Can’t Ignore Anymore. For the past three years, I’ve seen the same scenario play out—over and over, and it’s only getting worse. A student starts missing assignments. I send a check-in. I offer flexibility, a meeting, support. Weeks go by. They

energy-limited disabled people who are holding down a full-time job are often doing so at the expense of getting many basic personal tasks/chores done. just saying since many abled ppl can't connect dots.

No one who hasn't experienced chronic illness will understand the devastating grief of letting go of another day of your life. When you try to be active whatever that means for you and you realize you just can't do it today, that you have to let the day go and hope for tomorrow.
