Troubling Binaries, Boxes, and Spectrums: A Galactic Approach to Queerness and Crip-ness

scholarlypublishingcollective.org/msup/qed/art...

Here, ready for duty.

Wrote a paper kind of on this idea a few years ago.

As an Ashkenazi U.S. based Jew, jarred gefilte fish. I absolutely cannot.

Of things I actually eat, I think for me it’s just the blandness of so many traditional foods that are part of both cultures of mine. I need flavor!!

Reminder that you are not getting all of the info, even in scientific journals, as they are being censored and throttled.

I sound quite a bit snuffly because allergies and also being up and functioning before noon, but at least I didn't swear on public radio, and and I got to name something I learn from my father with his yahrzeit being tomorrow.

plus last minute shoutouts to Neil Marcus, Stacey Park Milbern, and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha for their amazing words…

This included both text and voicemail questions from listeners, clips from Cripping Up Sex's Evan, Bethany Stevens, Andrew Gurza, an autistic actress from the Pitt, and great discussion of a variety of topics…

Breaking the silence surrounding sex and disability Sex Week is (sort of) back.

In one of the highest highlights of my career, I got to chat with NPR's 1A host Jenn White, along with Bianca I. Laureano, PhD h.c., MA, CSE, CSES, about sexuality and disability for a full hour!

You can listen below (transcript not yet available - working on it!)

I wish we could request masked drivers like folks can request women drivers on the rideshare apps

Reminder to come listen to me on NPR/ 1A this morning (Wednesday, April 22nd) at 11am Eastern to talk all things sexuality and disability!

3) we need to talk about sexuality and disability when it comes to disabled kids as far as teaching puberty, consent, and reducing/ending the high rates of SA against them

4) for fuck’s sake; it’s going to be on PUBLIC radio.

The fatphobia and ableism here is ASTOUNDING

I’m pretty angry that BlueSky labeled this image adult content.

1) if it is about how I look, there are no “sexual areas” there, or even a front or back view. People post much more “sexual” pictures at their beach daily.
2) disabled teens also have sexuality needs and experiences

I hope you tune in because you KNOW we are going to have a great time

Guess who is going to be on NPR’s 1A next week? Everyone’s favorite queer femme crip (other than @drsamischalk.bsky.social)! That’s right; a whole hour on sexuality and disability! That’s next Wednesday, April 22nd, at 11am Eastern.

(Also, how cute are all of my partners? Allie, Emily, and Sky responsively. Folks invested in disability justice are 🔥!)

If you consider yourself progressive or a leftist or a radical, and don’t mask in public spaces (because disabled and immunocompromised folks belong in ALL spaces) and especially in organizing spaces, your activism is performative and not justice centered.

I will not be taking notes.

And DVD plssssss ✨✨✨

Wild to me how little people in the U.S. are talking about this increasing energy crisis. Like… not only are we building more data centers, but people are flying for fun and planning to keep doing so, no one has suggested more work from home, nothing.

Meanwhile, my disabled ass is seed starting…

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Not at all; thanks for checking. My ND brain processed it as your meant it 💜

Well fuck. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Bring back live journal and blogspot!

Not good. Not good at all.

Sorry! I tend to come and go and totally miss it. I can DuckDuckGo it so you don’t have to search
