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.

Wanna talk trans and disability?@SlavaGreenberg and I do too!. “Toward Trans[]Crip Theory,” our special issue of @tsqjournal, is accepting scholarly & creative submissions through May 1. We know it’s a messy conversation. That’s why it’s important.

“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 🖤

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.
