After 5 long years, I’m finally finished law school @OsgoodeNews! Law school isn’t an easy place for students w/ disabilities - I came quite close to dropping out twice, but I’m really proud of myself for making it here and grateful for those who got me through it.

Advocates fought to ban incarcerating people in provincial jail on “immigration hold” who have committed no crimes and are simply there for administrative reasons. Instead of not incarcerating them, the government is planning on federal prison instead cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

The letter mentioned in this article from a group called "Lawyers for Secure Immigration" is awful, immigration lawyers just blatantly calling migrants from Gaza terrorists. Really shameful. canadianlawyermag.com/practice-areas…

As a disability studies scholar and disabled person in the academy, comments like this are precisely why many students, staff, and faculty choose to not disclose their disability—or only do so under duress due to academic ableism or navigating the inaccessibility of higher ed.

Woah. “There was a 292% increase in students classified with disabilities at the top eight liberal arts colleges over the past 12 years” Pretty strong evidence that a “disabled” label is becoming a fasion accessory for rich kids.

This narrative of students “faking” disabilities either for academic advantage or, as this thread claims, social clout, is incredibly harmful, and actively encourages disbelief and skepticism for those seeking access to necessary accommodations.
