Its that time of year again: STOP going to "haunted" historic asylums. Institutionalization still exists. Millions (if not billions) of ppl have never been given reparations for the harms they suffered/ suffer today. Its not fun, cool, or exciting to tour spaces of abuse.

This is probably going to get buried by other news, but on Wednesday the Supreme Court is going to hear a case that might gut a major enforcement mechanism for the Americans with Disabilities Act. I wrote an explainer @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2023/10/supreme…

I need you to know that this object is in such exceptional condition that when I saw it I screamed AND cried. It is an unbelievable survival, and makes so clear just how vibrantly colourful the early modern period was

I cannot overstate how much of my time as a politically conscious disabled academic is spent reminding students that, yes, you’re allowed to have a body and reminding faculty that, no, you’re not allowed to punish students for it.

How amazing to get to collaborate with @HamletHologram and bring #EmoTrans drama to the Midwest by hosting this star-studded symposium here at @waynestate in Detroit. Maybe you want to attend?

📕 For the start of the new school year I want to offer one copy of my book "Disabled Clerics in the Late Middle Ages - Un/Suitable for Divine Service?" published by @AmsterdamUPress
Just follow me and RT this tweet, and I will pick the winner on September 15, 2023! ☺️

Reading this book & thinking about how the charge of anachronism is so often deployed against scholarship that seeks to examine marginalized identities in the past. Just because no one was called “disabled” in the premodern doesn’t invalidate disability studies approaches.

Today I’m remembering the vitriol yt classmates showed talking about affirmative action vs how small and lonely being BIPOC at a PWI felt. Today I’m thinking about the greed and ego of whiteness, how they hate the mere presence of difference, & the spinelessness of casual evil.

Justice Sotomayor: “The devastating impact of this decision cannot be overstated. The majority’s vision of race neutrality will entrench racial segregation in higher education because racial inequality will persist so long as it is ignored.”

My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.

Thinking of my dad who is currently working in the fields wearing a mask.
Thinking of all those other workers who must labor outside, in this ashen hell, for money to make ends meet, because capitalism gives them no other choice.
This is all too much.

I do disability studies because I love disabled people & myself as a disabled person. I recognize the field as essential yet emergent, nurturing disabled lives against a world designed to make us small. I try & try again because it is good to try for the people you call your own.
