Last month, Stellate hosted its 2nd Annual Team Retreat in San Diego 🌴☀️
As a remote company, we don’t get to spend as much time together in person as we would like, so this time together is particularly special 💜

My essay from Uncharted is available to read on @TheMindHears. Thank you @drsrbayer and @gserratomarks for editing the collection and Columbia U Press for sharing these imporant stories.
"Instead of expecting me to strive to be a hearing professor, why not expect that each of us makes the classroom less disabling to one another? In this way, we can stumble together toward universal design and inclusion."
excerpted from new book Uncharted

I hate how #inaccessible access is... I can't use the @Yale accessible shuttle without a medical note stating I use a wheelchair...but I'm new to the USA, so the earliest appt I could get was 2 months after my start date. I can't get into the office... 1/
Excited (and nervous!) for my first book event next week at

Thank you to @storycollider for the opportunity to share my story more than 5 years ago, when I didn't even have the correct diagnosis yet. So much has changed, but I'm still proud to be disabled 💙 #DisabilityPrideMonth
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth, so we're sharing our favorite quotes from our favorite disability stories. Check out this story from @gserratomarks ow.ly/ctVY50P90cW AND pre-order her book #Uncharted, a collection of #DisabilityinSTEM stories 👉uncharted.ck.page/signup

We were OOO last week for Stellate's first Team Retreat 🌄 We spent 5 days in upstate New York dedicated to bonding, relaxing, laughing & engaging in professional development (+ a photoshoot!)
Kudos to our dream team💜 those who were with us in person & in spirit!

For months, people have asked me, "Is it safe? Where should I go?" about anti trans laws.
I created the anti-trans legislative risk assessment map to help answer that question.
This month, a whole new category for Florida.

hi!! i am your academic apothecary.
let's talk about the mad manifesto: my ✨newly passed✨ dissertation that goes to great lengths to accessibly prove that:
1) we are failing mentally ill students, and
2) UDL has been co-opted by unis for profit.
ALT SLIDE CAPTURE: very thematic slide series with a nighttime theme, featuring stickers of moons and stars in different pastel colours. TITLE "the mad manifesto: defence proceedings version". SUBTITLE "sarah currie for the university of waterloo, canada / live via remote call on 26 april 2023".
📣 Our book is now available for pre-order!
@drsrbayer and I are so grateful to all the contributors who shared their stories.

I was diagnosed with cancer in April. Unfortunately, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy couldn’t tame this, and my medical team is now focused on keeping me comfortable while I spend the last chapter of my life with my partner, family, and friends. 1/4

Wow… @stellatecomms just celebrated its 2-yr anniversary 🤯 We’ve helped clients acquire almost $5M in funding, 2 got promoted, media w. @NatGeo @NPR @PBS & more.
This month, I hired 4 team members & secured an exciting nonprofit client. Many upcoming wins to be announced…
Now that in-person posters are back at many big conferences, here are my tips for getting through a poster presentation when you're #DisabledinSTEM - hopefully applicable across disabilities 🧵
4. Remember that most poster halls are deeply challenging, inaccessible environments. You are doing your best in a system that was not built for you 💙
