#Disability is not a bad word & identifying as such isn't saying you can't do stuff - it's a starting place for understanding & can open doors for supports and accommodations to better access the environment, incl healthcare! Am quoted in NYT alongside others: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/h...
New paper I co-authored is out with Scott Landes, Jean Hall and @bonnieswenor.bsky.social! #Disability

The United States Department of Labor is proposing that workers who provide daily care for #disabled and older people *not* be entitled to minimum wage or overtime. #disability
The direct link from the registry should you prefer to comment that way is here: www.regulations.gov/docket/WHD-2...
Please go and comment on this proposal. The US government is required to pay attention to public comments when they make their decisions about these proposals. The deadline to comment is just a few days away - September 2nd. nacdd.quorum.us/campaign/137...
This would make it nearly impossible to find anyone to provide daily support & assistance for care. Anybody who has tried to find care knows it is already extremely difficult to find reliable & helpful ppl w consistency. Nobody wants a job that pays below minimum wage and/or doesn't pay overtime.
🚨Many in my network are #disabled people or you have friends or family who are disabled or are supporting #aging parents. Your help is needed: NOW! #disability nacdd.quorum.us/campaign/137... 🧵
