Disability in Geoscience Zine

Thank you Dr. Rocío! :)

Two tables in front. of EarthScope banners, with a computer and a handouts like stickers and posters.

If you're at #GSAConnects2025 in San Antonio, come by our booth and say hi!

You can also pick up physical copies of our zine there! 👀

If this is impacting you, please reach out to us in our DMs here or via email directly, which is in our Linktree in our bio. :)

So sorry for the access issues, everyone! We will update you when we have figured something out.

Howdy folks!

We've been made aware that people are having issues accessing the Tumblr page for the prints, specifically that people need to be able/willing to sign into/make a Tumblr account. We're figuring out the permissions for that in the meantime, and brainstorming access otherwise.

For our US-American followers, we hope you have had a pleasant 35th anniversary of the ADA, and that you can spend some time resting, in community, etc. You deserve to take a moment of respite in these times, it's necessary to keep moving forward.

The Geologic Road to Change An artistic community for disabled geoscientists

For folks who are reading our zine: What resonates with you?

See an article written by maz in the Consilience Journal: consiliencejournal.substack.com/p/the-geolog...

We see you, we stand with you, and we want to create together—both art and a more accessible, inclusive geoscience culture.

If you feel so inclined, print out a copy or two (or more!) and leave them wherever curious eyes may find them.
We hope that the artistic expressions and underrepresented voices captured by this issue and those to come will start overdue conversations about the disabled experience within geosci

Skeet from Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com "Insanity–Trump signs an order blaming Biden and DEI for flight dangers

Not insanity. Racism. White supremacy. Re-segregation. Eugenics. Exclusion. Hating Black people.

Call it what it is. Stop giving these fools cover by calling it insanity.

Note: I reskeeted this & then deleted because I can't have this fool's face on my skyline so I just put the original skeet.

Our submission window closes in 31 hours! You have until 11:59pm CST tomorrow (Friday, January 31st) to submit any art, poetry, writing, collages, etc. to our first issue of Disability in Geoscience! :)

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️
