One year ago today, I was the victim of disability discrimination by my longtime employer. Having to repeatedly stand up for my rights and dignity against a corporation that harmed me has been profoundly dehumanizing and traumatic. I’ve lost parts of myself I may never recover. At times, I’m not really sure who I am anymore. But I’m still seeking accountability and repair even as I care for my physical and mental health, which have crumbled over the past 12 months. Thank you for your continued support, Holograms. New

RSS attorneys argue vested‑rights and warn town of discrimination exposure
RSS counsel told the Colonie ZBA they intend to rely on vesting-case law and submitted an affidavit about application changes; attorneys said a town zoning amendment enacted after RSS began site work could be vulnerable to challenge under disability‑discrimination law and offered an off‑ramp to avoid litigation.

A tribunal will not accept a secret recording just because you have it. Transcribe the part you rely on. Explain plainly why it matters. Skip either step, and it is likely to be refused. #EvidenceAndRecords #EmploymentTribunal #DisabilityDiscrimination

If a disability plays a part in something you are accused of at work, your employer must actually consider that connection before disciplining you. It must also look at less punishing options first.

… It is, however, part of ableist structures and the exclusion is so deeply embedded in society that it’s been rendered invisible, even to disabled people themselves. /3

… choosing to use written communication is not necessarily an ableist action. I don’t think there is a one-size-fits-all rule for whether written communication is ableist or not. … /2

The way we privilege some forms of communication over others absolutely contributes to ableism. Our preference for written communication does create ableist barriers for many people and is a major contributor to epidemic injustice. That said… /1

THIS!!

Neurodivergence is not the problem, ableism is… and what’s more, I would guess that ableism is so intricately woven into society that none of us can even really fathom what it would mean for it to be dismantled.

If we spent less time viewing #neurodivergence as a defect or a problem to be solved, and more time solving the actual problems of #ableism and exclusion, then neurodivergence and other #disabilities wouldn’t be a “problem” at all! Isn't that a crazy idea?!
