Dear @Amtrak—when you call customers to address concerns, leave a number we can call back. Outgoing numbers only scream “We don’t really want to talk to you”

Wrote a letter to Amtrak CEO about how they treat disabled passengers from my experience this past weekend. Sent via certified mail. This should be fun.

Advocacy never stops.

I upgraded my @Apple Watch and am feeling overwhelmed by this option. What say you #Disability fam?

Thank you Brandi Fowler and LinkedIn News for the opportunity to talk about the affects of Long Covid in the workplace and its impact on the disability community. These are important conversations and folks living with Long Covid should be aware of their rights under the ADA.

Is Long COVID Considered to Be a Disability in the Workplace?

Long COVID symptoms continue far after the initial infection and can affect someone’s work duties depending on the ailment and line of work. Long Covid can be considered a disability in the workplace, so it is important to know the guidelines around it and your rights if you are suffering.

This is some of the coolest innovation I've seen. As a wheelchair user this has the potential to revolutionize how disabled people travel making flights more accessible and greatly reducing (if not outright eliminating) the vast majority of damage done to mobility equipment by airlines every day. #AirTravel #Airlines #Innovation #Disability #DisabilityInclusion #Travel #FlyingWhileDisabled

Welcome on board

For wheelchair users, travelling by plane can often be a challenging and undignified process. An award-winning invention that allows passengers to take their own chair on board is aiming to change that and make flying a more accessible and inclusive experience.

So exhausted by the arguments against #studentloandebt relief. Hypocritical when taken against the backdrop of PPP loans and the billions spent on our defense budget.
Graphics are fun. Burnout is not.
Burnout affects everyone. Yet it seems as if disabled people are the ones constantly defending our need for rest.
I’ve been taking a bit of a breather from public advocacy these last few weeks to recharge. Advocacy burnout is real. And while it continues daily in myriad forms, let’s normalize stepping away publicly.
A brief introduction: I'm Ryan (he/him). I'm a #disability advocate #speaker and #persuader. I love talking about all things advocacy, #diversity #equity, #inclusion and #access. Plus I talk a lot about #servicedogs because CanineOrg Pico is amazing.
