RIP Devva Kasnitz - a truly inspirational, kind, fiery disability scholar and activist! The DS community has lost a kindred spirit, but she will never be forgotten. An infrastructural activist whose influence knows no bounds. Thank you for all you’ve taught me 💛

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) has announced that it will stop publishing content on X from January 20th

The organisation stated that it can “no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.”

I’m sure there are more folks out there who I haven’t connected with yet in disability anthropology or who use ethnographic approaches to critical disability studies. Send me a note if you’d like to be added! ❤️
