While I tend to appreciate folks who are working on accessibility, there is a widespread ableist attitude that disabled people should be grateful for whatever scraps of consideration, inclusion, and accessibility we get.

I have no obligation to feel grateful for that. Being considered, included (including in planning), and having my public university that I've paid for all my adult life be accessible to me is my right.

Last day to register for the inaccessible UC Davis Plant Breeding retreat. Once more they've made no online option available to attend, much less an equitable online option.

I've started & deleted many emails in response to this continuing ableism.

For those who've built/found community here, what are the tools you find most effective in building community and being "findable" by others in your field, identity group, region, etc? @academicchatter #Planticipation #PlantScience #Botany #DisabledAndSTEM

Alright, let's see how many Plant Scientists/Botanists we can reach here in the Fediverse.
