I'm just a cyborg asking for a moratorium on essays in which disabled woman finds salvation by being in love with a nondisabled man.

i find it really intriguing how the south’s student activism never gets as much media attention as other regions. day 28 of Vanderbilt’s encampment and i only read about it being the first university to start one YESTERDAY.

Day two of the Palestine solidarity encampment/liberated zone at Florida State University. They’ve moved to the other side of Landis Green in front of Landis Hall.

Something I’m not hearing a ton about is that Gallaudet Students, from the historic college for the deaf, are also participating in solidarity encampments in the DMV area.

One of the ways protesters have stopped sprinklers from spraying themselves

They’re now chanting “water is life”

Universities are like, “we foster close relationships between our faculty and our students by, for example, locking them up in the same jail cell.”

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide

photos shared by colleagues/faculty comrades earlier today of the Gaza Solidarity protest at FSU. hearing that the numbers of students has ranged between 50-75 all day and the Zionist counter protestors have been a smaller but very vocal group. groups are separated by a barrier.

Peaceful protest happening at FSU. So proud of students. Sat with a student reading poems back and forth. Thx to FSU alum for delivering pizza + drinks. Tomorrow protest con't.

ATTENTION: Students, Faculty, and Community members. Come join our encampment for Palestine happening NOW at Landis Green!!!!!

Too many queer youth say they don’t see elders to give them hope. Please, for #LesbianVisibilityWeek , I’m calling lesbians age 40 and over. Reply or quote with a pic/vid to show our youth they have generations past, present, and well into the future🧡🩷🤍❤️💜

Last week a group of disabled political scientists published an open letter to the APSA Council.

We are asking that the recently formed disability status committee be led by & comprised of PWD who deserve to speak to their own experiences.

Surprised in 2024 year of our lord any use of blind when the author means ignorant still gets past copyeditors.

“This is a book for us crips and the not-yet-crips—the crips-in-emergence. If readers…have not yet been radicalized by the systemic claws of ableism, Smilges will gently and lovingly nudge them.”

It’s almost always victims who go into exile. Rarely do perpetrators have to leave the places they fuck up.

And New York Philharmonic? A high-powered group of musicians has put out ANOTHER petition urging you to lift the NDAs. Everyone: sign and let the orchestra know how you feel about this. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
