There's a provision in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that says disabled people have the right to train their own service dogs. Maya Cruz writes for @TeenVogue about the joys and challenges of training Rosalie, who helps her manage the symptoms of her obsessive compulsive disorder, and talks to other young disabled people about their experiences. “In the training process, you just learn how to advocate for your dog — you learn how to ask for things, and how to say, I just need to take a moment, my dog needs a break," says Carmen, whose dog is called Pochita. "And I’ve learned how to do that for myself now, too. I have learned that this dog is going to give me access to the world, and I deserve that access. Now, I tell myself, you deserve this. But I started by learning how to advocate for my dog.”

This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

Today is the 34th anniversary of the #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct (ADA). This was a momentous occasion in the history of the #DisabilityRights movement, as the #ADA prohibited discrimination on the basis of #disability.

July is #DisabilityPride Month, in commemoration of the passage of the #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct on July 26, 1990.

The City of Alameda requests public comment on its draft Americans with Disabilities Act Self Evaluation & Transition Plan. The draft "benchmarks where we are at now and provides a roadmap for how to prioritize resources towards improving accessibility,” stated Public Works Director Erin Smith.

Folks, it is the AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, not the American Disability Act, not the Americans Disabled Act, not Americans Disabilities Act, or anything else other than its official name! When folks, especially #media folks, screw it up, it indicates to us that we really don’t matter enough for them to make an effort to get it right! ️ #DisabilityPrideMonth #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct #ADA #DisabledLivesMatter #WordsMatter

Drunk History's hilarious reenactment of the Section 504 sit-in, which eventually led to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which was passed on this day in 1990.

Don't forget, rights are rarely "granted" by asking politely; they must be fought for. As far as those in power are concerned (Cis, White, Rich Men) if it's not a problem for THEM, it's not a problem.
