Our good friend Parkour Squirrel always has such good advice…so we’re sharing it! TWO-HEADED SMILES ALL AROUND WOOOOO

#CowCowTakesOver #IncludingDisability #DisabilityJustice #Accessibility
A brown cartoon squirrel holds an acorn in its hands. Text in front of it reads “Parkour Squirrel’s Nuts of Wisdom.” A quotation bubble above the squirrel reads “Every branch is a chance to change direction…or find another acorn.” In the bottom left corner, CowCow’s two heads pop in, cut off just above their four nostrils. The left head wears their usual wing-less sunglasses, and the right one wears their usual pink and purple flower crown.

Sometimes, you need a cow-culator for statistics.

#CowCowTakesOver #IncludingDisability #DisabilityJustice #Accessibility #DisabilityStatistics
Two taped-up photo squares and a quotation bubble hang on a pinkish-purple background. One of the two heads of a two-headed cow is in each of the photo squares. One wears sunglasses, and the other wears a pink and purple flower crown. The quotation bubble reads “Did You Know?” Then, a bullet point list of facts. First, “According to the CDC, 1 in 44 U.S. adults is disabled.” Second, “1 in 1 two-headed cows is a mascot for Including Disability.”

Laundry folding is hard. Especially when you have hooves… But we have the moo-tivation to do it!

A lovely, brightly lit cartoon field. A tan and brown two-headed cow stands before a wicker laundry basket filled with unfolded laundry. A quotation bubble over one head reads “Task initiation? More like task moo-tivation!”

A two-headed tan and brown cow stands on a grassy knoll. A bright blue sky with puffy white clouds and a bright sun is behind them. A thought bubble appears from between the two heads and has the yellow Accessibility Summer Camp logo in it. The logo is reminiscent of a badge, circular but with triangles poking out the sides all around. The black text stretches around the circle, and a black cartoon figure of a person stands with its arms spread wide in the middle of it.

CowCow has returned from their visit with their one-eyed cousins with exciting news! @accessibilitycamp.bsky.social is looking for moderator volunteers! Sign up by May 14th! forms.gle/f8Rzp6p7tcJJ... #IDGS #IncludingDisability #AccessibilitySummerCamp
In a cartoon style, two black and white one-eyed cows with gray horns push wheelbarrows that look more like trash cans in a muddy, fenced-in pasture. There’s a lump in the middle of their heads that might be a unicorn horn, a third ear, or a concerning growth their dermatologist should check out. Hay is strewn illogically around on the ground. On the other side of the fence, a large red farm sits in the background. CowCow the two-headed tan and brown cow stands in front of one of its doors. Behind the farm, there is a bright blue sky with puffy white clouds and a bright yellow sun. In the sky, the words “Volunteer with Accessibility Summer Camp” appear in black font that is reminiscent of handwriting. The whole image looks like it’s been poorly AI-generated, but it’s crossed from bad to funny. The ID logo with an asterisk sits in the bottom left corner, and the Accessibility Summer Camp logo sits in the bottom right corner. The Accessibility Summer Camp logo looks like a bright yellow sun with sharp rays emerging from it. A black figure of a person with its arms out stands in the middle of the sun.

Two heads means double the opinions. Double the advocacy. And double the snacks.

Are you getting all the snacks (and water) you need?

–CowCow

#CowCowTakesOver #IncludingDisability
A tan and brown two-headed cow stands in a lush field with tall, purple flowers. Tall evergreen trees then a mountain range are in the distance behind them. The cow's left head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and its right head wears sunglasses that manage to stay on their nose without wings. The right head is staring at a yellow-orange butterfly on one of the purple flowers. A thought bubble over the left head reads "Two heads means double the opinions. Double the advocacy. And double the snacks." A thought bubble over the right head reads "Check out that butterfly. Very nice."

Two taped-up photo squares and a quotation bubble hang on a pinkish-purple background. One of the two heads of a two-headed cow is in each of the photo squares. One wears sunglasses, and the other wears a pink and purple flower crown. The quotation bubble reads “Did You Know?” Then, a bullet point list of facts. First, “The rubber-handled potato peeler we know today came about as an adaptation for individuals with arthritis. Score for universal design!” Then, “CowCow prefers their potatoes roasted to a crisp.”

We worked hard breaking those curb cuts into the curb… Now, we relax in the pool. The cow-themed pool. Because we’re a cow who built a cow-themed pool. Moo.

#CowCowTakesOver #IncludingDisability #DisabilityJustice #Accessibility #4thOfJuly #StayCool
A two-headed cow stands in a cow-themed pool. The left head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the right wears sunglasses with no arms. How they stay on their head, we do not know. A donut-themed pool float with pink icing and sprinkles is in the water beside the right head. A black and white cow-patterned arch extends from the pool deck into the air behind the two-headed cow. Planters and bushes line the sides of the pool deck, then a tan privacy fence encloses the area. Green trees and a bright blue sky with white hazy clouds fill the rest of the background.

Advocacy is hard work. Don’t forget to refuel. We like to walk in nature and eat—erm, touch grass.

Seen any parkour squirrels lately?

–CowCow

#CowCowTakesOver #IncludingDisability #DisabilityJustice #TouchGrass #Squirrels
A tan and brown two-headed cow stands on a wooded path. Rich greenery surrounds the path, and sunlight peeks through the tall trees. There are autumn leaves on the ground. One of the cow’s heads wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the other wears sunglasses without arms. How they stay on, no one knows. There is a speech bubble over each head. The left head is saying, “Advocacy is hard work. Don’t forget to refuel.” The right head is saying, “Saw a squirrel doing parkour. 10/10 form.” Behind the two-headed cow is a cartoon squirrel eating a nut. An arrow points at it with a label reading “parkour squirrel.” The Including Disability logo, a stylized I and D, sits in the bottom left corner.

CowCow updated the tack board with research resources. Sonal Sathe, has a survey for those living in VA, USA and are 18+. Mustafa Rfat has a journal article about disability and refugee status. And Disruptive Inclusion has educational offerings! Links below. #IDGS #IncludingDisability
CowCow, a tan and brown two-headed cow, stands in front of a white tackboard on a white wall. There’s a shelf in front of it with cow-themed items, including a black and white cookie jar, cheese wedge, and a clear cookie jar. (CowCow likes their cookies, okay?) On CowCow’s tackboard, there are three images. The first is the Virginia Tech logo, a red outline of the letters V and T, then orange letters for Virginia Tech next to them. The second is a screencap of a journal article title (“Exploring the Intersectionality of Disability and Refugee Statuses: Reflecting on My Refugee Journey”) with the authors’ names listed below. The third is the Disruptive Inclusion logo: A series of three red, green, and blue overlapping triangles with “Learn with Disruptive Inclusion!” written in white beside it. Another line of text is too small to read beneath that. In the bottom left corner, the ID logo (a combined I and D; the I is the straight part of the D) with an asterisk after it.

At the top of the image, a title: Ableism Whack-A-Mole. CowCow holds a wooden mallet in front of a whack-a-mole game on a street corner. Each mole popping up is labeled with a different form of ableism, including: presumed incompetence, inaccessible environments, lack of representation, pity, derogatory language, and employment discrimination. The biggest mole in the center is labeled “Ableism” in larger letters than the other moles.

A tan and brown two-headed cow stands in a cartoon field with a bright blue sky filled with puffy white clouds. The left head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the right wears a pair of sunglasses without arms. The accessibility symbol, a blue square with a white outline of a wheelchair user speeding along, sits in front of them. A quotation bubble over their right head reads “Accessibility isn’t just a-moo-sing; it’s a human right.”

Making moo-ves on advocacy initiatives is so much easier when well-rested! We’re all members of the herd, so self-care is herd-care!

#IncludingDisability #Accessibility #Disability #DisabilityJustice #Disabled #SelfCare
A cartoon field with bright green grass and a bright blue sky. A building that might be a house and might be a barn stands on the far side of the field with curtains in its warmly-lit windows. A herd of slightly disturbing AI-generated animals rests around the field with ZZZs over their heads. A tan and brown two-headed cow, one head wearing a pink and purple flower crown and the other wearing sunglasses without wings, stands amidst them. Over the top third of the image, “Rest is RADICAL” is spelled out in brown letters. A bright yellow sun hangs in the sky, and animals that might be bees, birds, or butterflies swarm flutter around it.

*pSST* CowCow here! We’re tired of being posted about and not posting for ourselves, so we’ve taken over the Including Disability socials! MOO-HA-HA! You know that human saying “twice the heads, twice the opinions about accessibility”? No? Maybe it’s a cow saying…
#IncludingDisability #Takeover
Zoom in on a tan and brown two-headed cow’s heads, both of which have horns. The left wears a pink and purple flower crown; the right wears epic sunglasses that magically stay on their nose without being held in place by sides. The left head has a thought bubble that says “psst!” above them. The right head has a thought bubble that says “Over here!” above them.
