#dwarfism — Public Fediverse posts

July 26 2026

Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on this day in 1990 it is 36 years old to today.

Today many disabled people look at the Americans with Disabilities Act as a great first step and a stepping stone and believe we could do better by our Americans leaving with disabilities. And we could stand to do better.

The documentary is free to view on YouTube for a little while (eventually it expires and you have to use PBS Passport to see it. It is probably geo-blocked to the US only on YouTube, but I'm not sure.)

Writing about Tod Browning which means writing about Tufei Filhela and Harry Earles et al. The term “little person” seems wrong to me; less(er) than (average sized) people is how it feels.

People shorter than average size, how do refer to yourself when it comes to stature?

Boosts appreciated!

@ascentale @inliuofjoan #BikeNite A5: The bicycle mechanic who did my Brompton's pedal-assist conversion is (also) a specialist in bicycles for persons with #dwarfism (e.g. #achondroplasia, #hypochondroplasia): https://junik-hpv.de/arbeitsbereiche/fahrraeder-fuer-kleinwuechsige-menschen/ (German page, but many pictures)

She uses quite some Brompton and Puky parts to build them, but I've also noticed a foldable fork with suspension on one of them which looks like being from a R+M Birdy. Also many high-end components from SON and Busch+Müller.

Watched the #DnD movie & loved it. I don’t mind that they stretched the wild shape rules or even brought Thay into FR, but why did they not cast little people in the roles of halflings and other small peoples? It would have saved them money on FX, would’ve looked better, and wouldn’t be ableist. #dwarfism

>They have Laron Syndrome, a form of dwarfism that protects them from cancer and diabetes.

RT @k_langensiepen: #Sevilla still tolerates events that use persons with #dwarfism for “amusement”.

Together with @MyEDF we
@GreensEFA call Spain to prohibit these sort of events.

Introducing Patagopelta cristata https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2022/12/16/introducing-patagopelta-cristata/ by @Ferwen

Phylogenetic analysis recovered #Patagopelta within #Nodosaurinae, along with other mid-#Cretaceous nodosaurids from North America. These results support the proposal that South American #ankylosaurs may have migrated from North America during the Late Cretaceous. The small size of Patagopelta is linked to some event of #dwarfism as in the case of #Struthiosaurus from the #Haţeg Island.
