Alice Wong, disability rights advocate and wordsmith, dies at 51 Alice Wong, a transformational leader for disability rights and justice, who founded the Disability Visibility project to magnify disabled culture, died Nov. 14.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

i consumed so much content yesterday. 37 content. probably take it easy today.

It is Friday, October 24, and Saturday, October 25. All times in ET, US time.

I am healing from Kidney Stones, producing a rainbow of colors 🌈. But join me online with the Humanities Podcasting Network's 5th Annual Symposium: www.eventbrite.com/e/5th-annual...

With @jaggardemarco.bsky.social and more, we are stretching the boundaries of Disability, Podcasting, and the Aural🤓

It's going to be great.

FB is officially advertising foot porn. It is not called that, and I am the LAST person to throw faux moral outrage at this, but... FB is getting Interesting as it evolves into its form. This is why I love being object oriented.

I’m not making a nuanced argument I’m just saying people are tacky

Look Ma! I'm on the Internet! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxz...

It's great to be in conversation with so many perspectives on work/AI/Access. I'd be happy to do it again.

A panel listing for a SCMS panel, including my presentation: "From the Bed, Where He Lived... (And Perhaps Shat): Articulating the Bed as a Contested Mediascape"

I'm presenting today at #SCMS2025, if you're around, and what to hear me discoursing about queer crip epistomologies of sex, death and shit... complete with A/V material! 🤓 Really though I excited to be in community with others. Join us! It's gonna be fun.

Oliver, your stamina is amazing! Just looking at this schedule makes me tired. Granted, these are all places I want to be/go, so I understand the agenda. 😁

Its the Trans Day of Visibility

His book The Audible Past has had a profound impact on my own research. What a terrible loss to the academic community!

Web Rings and Blog Carnivals were/are certainly cozier alternatives to our increasing sterilized and hegemonic digital landscape. At least, the top layer of our current web/GUI visual discourse.

np. Neocities is full of hand-coded, kinda weird websites...very Web 1.5.

I don't know about *personal* websites, but I do have a very good friend, colleague, and cohorter—Dr. Cameron Irby, who uses one as his official site: cirby.neocities.org so...it's a Thing™

Today was a good day. I am recovering well from a (minor but necessary) toe amputation. AND today is my 35th birthday. My last year of youth—according to Nielsen demographics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I am grateful for lovely peers, friends and colleagues. On to the next year, and more criptastic adventures. lol

I applied for student loan forgiveness in the summer of 2021. This morning I learned that my loans have been officially and completely discharged. To quote several friends, it is great to come into 2025 with significantly less debt over my head. Whatever else happens, today is a good day.

Me talking about Bluesky: The "echo chamber" criticism is undergirded by two common internet fallacies, that X reflects genuine mainstream discourse and that social media is only useful when users are confronted at all times with social and political conflict

Normal person: Hey man how's it going

Happy to be in the mix!

I am convinced that without ready access to Dragon Professional Individual (we do not talk about the Home version. It is a scam. It sits on the throne of lies...) A whole subsection of disabled/Crip academia would collapse.
…
It's me. I am talking about me. I would collapse.

Very happy to see this here, and happy to join in. I am very chatt/verbal/loquacious. Pick your favorite register! ha

That Feeling When™ you've been writing about queercrip podcasts as a viable alternative to ableist power structures AND you realize in retrospect that said chapter heavily features both MOM & DAD as initialisms.... Totally intentional dear reader. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Them: you're really going to due for drag and queer folk? star trek lady holding a gun: someone is

Bluesky culture is this:

Just assuming everyone with an "invalid handle" in their name is doing some sort of clever crip intervention on this site.

Flier features a dark background, white text, a bit of the shadowy figures and blue background from the book cover, the DISCO logo, and a QR code.

The Technoskepticism feature features a sky blue background, shadowy figures, and black text.

Our multi-authored monograph, Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal, will be published by @stanfordpress.bsky.social in February 2025.

From Munchausen by Tiktok to wellness apps to online communities to AI, this book explores the possibilities that technoskepticism can create.

I was going to ask too big or too small, then I read the comments. lol. Although to be generous to students, GIFS can push up file size. Also yes, this is me wishing my students would be more playful in the classroom and use GIFS... But that perhaps is also a discussion on authorial voice.
