"The determination to approach COVID mitigation with as few measures as possible in order to allow the most freedoms possible fails to acknowledge whose freedoms are granted and whose are disregarded."

Signing off. Sad to depart from this space- the disability and deaf academic communities here have been life-changing.
I’m keeping my account and I might still check in occasionally, but come find me on IG!

Scene from a future worth living in, many years from now:
Student: Wait they used to teach Joyce without neurodiversity?
Me: Yeah for like a *century*.
Student: Did they get it?
Me: No. Not really. But they *knew* they didn't get it, and that kept them talking.

I’m too sick to do any of this right now. @BeingCharisBlog called me in about it today.
@Mae_DayJ did too recently.
I’m just dying faster trying to save myself & the world as I decline.
I have to go on rest NOW. So I am.

An excellent piece from Kristian Foden-Vencil on fascist infiltration of Oregon politics, worth a few minutes to read. #ProudBoys #fascism #GOP #Portland #Oregon opb.org/article/2023/03/28/f…

The ways we love to conflate disability and criminality reveals just how made up the category of “crime” is in capitalist societies. The injustice is poverty, mass infection, mass poisoning. Crime is stolen/damaged property.
Only one is confronted with the law.

Hey, hearing people. I would love to get your two cents on my most recent short film. It is silent and it is full of deaf-centric jokes. I want to know what an average hearing person would think of it. Can you give it a watch and DM me your reaction? 🤟vimeo.com/737068504

I will say tho having two BIPOC interpreters today was so amazing. Like there was a underlying understanding of each other that I don’t see much in White interpreters.
Sad they were flown in for this assignment 😭
