When someone tells you that they have a chronic illness, you might think about the physical suffering they must go through. But one thing that’s less talked about, though sometimes even harder to deal with than the physical symptoms, is the emotional toll the illness takes. Check on your chronically ill friends 🩵

Our society fails to provide for disabled people, of whom the majority are women.

Everybody wants to be inclusive until inclusion requires them to confront racism and ableism.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, inclusion is “the practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized.”

That includes disabled people.
That includes racial and ethnic minorities.
That includes those living at the intersection of both.

Which means inclusion isn’t just a word we put in mission statements or on conference panels.

Real inclusion requires us to be anti-racist and to acknowledge how bias and systemic inequities shape educational experiences.

It also requires us to be anti-ableist and recognize that simply placing a disabled learner in a general education classroom does not equal inclusion if barriers in the environment still prevent them from accessing the curriculum, the community, or the supports they need.

A seat in the room isn’t inclusion.

Access is.
Support is.
Belonging is.

And until we address both racism and ableism in our systems, we’re not practicing inclusion, we’re just using the word.

Avivo Village in Minneapolis is an innovative shelter designed to provide people experiencing homelessness with a safer and more stable place to stay. Instead of large dorm-style spaces typical of many shelters, it offers small, private, lockable rooms inside a warehouse, giving residents greater dignity, security, and personal space. Beyond providing warmth and safety during harsh winters, the community also connects residents with essential services such as mental health care, addiction treatment, and housing support. By combining shelter with comprehensive assistance, Avivo Village aims to help people move beyond temporary emergency housing and toward long-term stability.
