Jimmy Buffett was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and I’m lucky that I got to see him several times! Such sad news.

Disabled people make up a disproportionately high rate of the prison population, and it is estimated that 50% of people killed by police have a disability. On September 14, we're hosting an open honest dialogue on this topic. Registration is ongoing. disabilityphilanthropy.org/resource/disab…

I read this story, & my heart broke.

This is why WhileDisabled can be a harrowing experience for many of us.

United Airlines should be shamed.

I used to really like him, but his willingness to let folks like me 'fall by the wayside' is disheartening and reflects persistent eugenics ideologies.

I am thrilled to share my article 'Forced to Bear, Denied to Rear: The Cruelty of Dobbs for Disabled People,' which is forthcoming in The Georgetown Law Journal! This article blends my interests in reproductive justice and the family policing system. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

This is a very important article that highlights how the family policing system's deeply embedded ableism disproportionately targets parents with disabilities. Congratulations Robyn Powell!

Ableism is foundational to family policing ideology & practice. Grateful for this article expanding our understanding of the family policing system’s terrorizing, damaging & unjust surveillance by analyzing how it targets disabled parents.

So exciting to see this important piece from Robyn Powell. And kudos to California Law Review for continuing to recognize the importance of the many enormous problems with the family regulation system, especially for parents with disabilities.

Necessary readings about the implicit bias baked into student loan forgiveness. I have friends trapped in the disability discharge program. It all needs fixin'📑: New student loan forgiveness measures must include the disabled bostonglobe.com/2023/08/21/opi… via The Boston Globe

Putting this out there before people start voicing ableist 'concerns.'

Getting divorced does not mean something is 'wrong' with Britney Spears, nor does it mean she needs a conservator again. People get divorced every day. It's sad but typical.

This is absolutely tragic. It highlights so many issues, including the intersection of race, class, and disability, and why we need to consider the multiple ways that people are denied reproductive freedom because of who they are or where they live. time.com/6303701/a-rape…

Me: This summer, you were not at all productive.

Also me: Well, I guess you did write a book review, online essay, 1 1/2 law review articles (trying to finish the second in the next week), commentary, a book chapter, and co-authored 2 articles.

Lesson: Be kind to yourself.

As someone recently on the law teaching job market, I am happy to speak with anyone currently going through this process. In particular, I would love to talk to those who are disabled and are navigating the market.
