Disability Archives Lab

Hosting critical collaborative projects on how archives & records document, shape, & impact disabled ppl—in history, today & the future!

[Disability Archives Lab @DisArchivesLab]

Since we have lots of projects in the works, we thought we'd take the time to introduce some of the core aspects of who we are and what we do!
💜♿️💜

Who we are:

Currently, all proceeds from my book _echolalia echolalia_ @Workshops4Gaza's bookstore via @openpoetrybooks will go towards Crips for eSims for Gaza, a project organized by @SFdirewolf, @thellpsx, & myself with the support of 160+ volunteers.

“The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.”

[Sara Anne Willette ♿️🌈👩🏻‍💻𓅆 @amethystarlight]

Fascism and eugenics historically follow pandemics.

Disabled folks been trying to tell the world. What did we get? We got told to shut up and get infected.

Hard pass.

[Muting/Blocking = Self Care @QueeringPsych]

Literally this. I want to support my local libraries so badly

There’s databases I can only access for free if I use a computer at the NYPL

But the air isn’t clean and people aren’t masking so I stay home

This is how 1 form of community abandonment leads to others

[Briana Mills, LMFT ♿️🏳️‍🌈🍉 @theBrianaMills]

I wish people were more angry about ableism than they were about being called ableist.

Love to everyone who can’t march but still shows up for Palestine. Whether it be staying at home when you’re symptomatic, resting from the grief, the daily inaccessibility of the state and its exclusions of certain bodies, or the expense of rallies/taking the day off work. Love.

today i turned on automated renewal for airalo discover eSims, which means i don't have to check as often and that power users, such as students and journalists, can stay connected. this is such a relief!

let's keep #ConnectingGaza

I love all the Y’all Masking photos. Just bummed that most of them do not include alt text so I can share them

[Alice Wong 王美華 @SFdirewolf]

As part of Disability Wrath Month, I present to you a syllabus of readings on Palestinian liberation & disability justice

There's no disability pride in genocide

I have been speaking privately with other ADA experts about what fighting mask bans might look like *if* they are implemented & it's scary. So, I wanted to share three quick points that have stood out as helpful to know if you're agitating against existing or new mask bans 🧵

As of today, summer solstice, after 9 months of an amplified genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and beyond, Crips for eSIMs for Gaza has raised half a million USD and has spent over 95% of it, activating over 5000 eSIMs across six months. #ConnectingGaza
