Episode Title: Rest, Resist, Reimagine: The Summer Sendoff

In this final NACHOS episode of the summer semester, we explore what it means to care for ourselves while standing up for our communities. From cognitive fatigue and microaccommodations to disability rights, inclusive design, and the dangers of policy rooted in fear instead of fact—we’re connecting the dots between self-care and systemic change.

Join us as we reflect on:

The neuroscience of burnout and mental exhaustion

Innovative disability inclusion programs like autism-friendly drivers ed

Medical breakthroughs like lung-on-a-chip personalized testing

RFK Jr.’s controversial decision on thimerosal and vaccine policy

Why disability advocacy must move beyond pride and into protection

How humanities help us recognize the warning signs of regression

And a heartfelt wrap-up on trust, truth, and designing for difference

Plus: announcements about our new noon timeslot starting Sept 1, details on the MDEC Disability Empowerment Conference, the NACHOS Discord, and how to support our GoFundMe to keep the movement growing!

If you’re passionate about disability rights, neurodivergence, inclusion, rest, resistance, or community care—you belong here.
