A new spotlight display celebrates the pioneering work of Edward Rushton, Liverpool poet & activist. Did you know Rushton founded the UK's first blind school, what is now @RoyalBlind@twitter.com? The school was second in the world only to the school in Paris.

To celebrate #Cripmas (#IDPWD, #IDPWD2022), I’m asking *d/Deaf and disabled creators only* to add their #CripmasDecorations to this thread so others can buy them. Maybe it’s not a traditional style Christmas tree decoration! Maybe it decorates your walls/wheelchair/bed/bod!

This year, for #IDPWD, give disabled people money, buy our stuff, and support our campaigns.

Disabled people, drop your links into the replies.

Yesterday evening I went to admire the beautifully illuminated Corinthian Arch at Stowe Gardens. Can you see me in the picture? #idpwd

UC has been fighting Access Needs articles all year and UC President Michael Drake has the effrontery to tweet how much he cares on International Persons with Disabilities Day. Please jump onto our Resistbot petition to let the governor and your CA state reps know UC must meet access needs and negotiate in good faith! Boost this toot so more can help!

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we recognize the 1+ billion people living with disabilities and commit to removing barriers to their success. #IDPWD

In this week's edition of #TheSaturdayPaper, 20% of writers are people with a #disability, to reflect their proportion in the community.

This is from Olivia Muscat's opinion piece on #IDPWD:

"So, show up. Go forth and celebrate disabled people today. Amplify, uplift, eat all the cupcakes you want. But remember that we exist for the rest of the year as well. Show up for the other 364 days. Engage with disabled people. We deserve uplifting and understanding and access all days, not just today."

Fact of the day: In California, children with special health care needs (#CSHCN) have faced more disruptions since the pandemic started. #IDPwD https://www.kidsdata.org/topic/2415/covid19-activities-disrupted-current-cshcn/table#fmt=2969&loc=2&tf=157&ch=1494,1495,1501,1508,1509,1510,1511

As you share your posts and host your events for the International Day of People with Disabilities, don't let them simply be a one-day signal of acknowledging disabled people, a box you've checked off.

The more than one billion disabled people who exist in this world are worthy of access and full inclusion today.

And tomorrow.
And next week.
And all month.
And next year.
Always.

Disability rights are civil rights.

As a person who wears hearing aids, I want to uplift all people with disabilities. You matter.

That’s why our administration is working to make Illinois a more equitable and inclusive state. #DisabilityTwitter #IDPWD

I am disabled.

I am disabled not because my body and brain are different, but because our society renders my state of being disabling.

"But you look healthy!"

But you can't see my disability.

You'll never see my chronic pain. You won't see my bruises. You won't notice when I've recently dislocated something for having the gall to move. My ADHD and anxiety won't show up on my sleeve.

When I'm most impacted, you won't see me at all.

But I am disabled.

A fun game to play this #IDPWD is to count how many people are wearing masks at the speeches, interviews and events being posted.
