Wrote about access intimacy in therapy for queerbeat x Revival Disability India. The idea for this story was shaped by my own reflections on therapy training + access as a disabled queer therapist and client. To learn more, I spoke to other disabled queer people.

I bet there aren't many people that would be cool having open-heart surgery if they thought their GP was just going to crack open their chest and give it a go!

I've written a piece for Disability Debrief discussing how gatekeeping undermines the disability movement. I raise how gatekeeping alienates the critical thinkers, deters creativity and innovation, discourages young people, and isolates us from other movements disabilitydebrief.org/dont-shut-the-…

Brilliant piece, Alberto Vásquez ,

Disability Debrief curates insightful and fresh work as usual. Thank you, Peter and Team.

Sharp and useful piece by Alberto Vásquez in Disability Debrief on gatekeeping in social movements, in particular the #Disability rights movement: how 'the pressure to present a unified front incentivizes the control and centralization of our narratives.'

'I would like to see a revitalized ecosystem that values multiple leadership and acknowledges the role of dissent. But that road ahead requires a frank evaluation of current power dynamics and toxic leadership styles, along with a principled commitment to addressing them.'

🔥Must-read piece by our board member, Alberto Vásquez, on how gatekeeping undermines the disability movement. 'I would like to see a revitalized ecosystem that values multiple leadership and acknowledges the role of dissent.'

'In the disability sector, I’ve seen time and again how an overzealous guarding of spaces and ideas can hinder progress. The very structures we create to organize and advocate can end up holding back new voices and ideas.' - Alberto Vásquez

Australia-based artist Hanna Cormick on climate illness: “We're microbially, immunologically stitched together as one organism.' via Disability Debrief Dr Sasha Kosanic disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/learne…

Great piece here from Áine (they/them) “there is power in making a lexicon around the phenomena which link ableism and climate breakdown. In short, the extractivism that fuels climate breakdown is the extractivism that devalues our bodies and minds”.
