Invisible Disabilities can be obvious: Only the doctor may see a cancer, but it can impair. Diving deeper raises fascinating questions. The ADA has such a wide “disability” definition even being “erroneously regarded” can qualify. So, discrimination based on a fictitious diagnosis may itself be disabling. On Sunday 5/29 I will co-moderate a free public webinar with guest Unitarian Universalist Rev. Suzanne Fast for a discussion of this topic. More details?

“MAD Pride Palace: Rolling Over Racism” is the title of my newest video, less than 11 minutes long.
I’m a quadriplegic, so to make this brief video I used the videogame Minecraft to create it with support from several caregivers & friends. This is a portfolio for our Unitarian Universalist Beloved Conversations, a program for seeking to embody racial justice as a spiritual practice.
I especially want to thank Elijah Gittens, who repeated my voice for clarity. Produced by Aciu! Institute. I played the parrot.
I would love to hear your reaction, publicly or message me.
