Sharing this well-written piece on cringe theory and exploring the same through affect. As someone still trying to understand their disability, this piece speaks to me. I'm sitting with it again.
It’s no secret that I am pretty damn cringeworthy, but being perceived as “cringe” is a pretty common crip experience. In “Cringe Theory,” for @LateralJournal, I offer some language for why that is. As always, I spilled my heart for this one 🖤 https://t.co/DJksCrgntU

Cringe theory is a framework intended to make sense of cringe as a cultural and political phenomenon that has come to condition how disability is understood in the contemporary American public...

When this beautiful flier was created, I was planning to give a public lecture. But the season has shifted. If you’re in Berkeley tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be leading a *public workshop* on bad feelings & crip activism for a FREE PALESTINE. https://t.co/KvX7r18ct3

“This is a book for us crips and the not-yet-crips—the crips-in-emergence. If readers…have not yet been radicalized by the systemic claws of ableism, Smilges will gently and lovingly nudge them.” @GaetaAmy on #CripNegativity 🖤

Logan Smilges’ short academic text Crip Negativity (2023) is about the nexus of difference, desire, and survival in the right now.

@jlsmilges Update: attendees shed tears, reflected on how the framework of crip negativity gave them a vocabulary to discuss their own experiences and when prompted to comment on their overall impressions reported “it slapped.” Overall, a really special session! ✨

I’m thrilled to share that the Dame Angela Lansbury Appreciation Facebook group (no questions, pls) has instituted a series of access measures to support neurodivergent and low vision members. There was a vote, & we won by a landslide. The mean age in this group is 68.
