Chronic Pain Care Circle | January 2026
There is so much beauty and joy in disability – and there can also be so much pain. It’s hard work to get through flares and manage the daily levels – it feels impossible in a culture that doesn’t acknowledge our reality. Our facilitator, LOTUS BOY, will guide our fourth Chronic Pain Care Circle. We’ll focus […]

Disgruntled Academics | January 2026
Hello, fellow brilliant academics! We’re writers, mathematicians, theorists, scientists, thinkers, and we often defy categorization. Disabled academics pour love and labor into work at institutions of higher education and learning; however, more often than not, these institutions don’t love us back and refuse the basic labor of meeting our access needs. It’s disgruntling to say […]

Care Work as Mutual Aid
We are our greatest strength and, in these times, our means of survival. Mutual aid, as a practice, maps our personal and collective abundances with our needs and creates unbreakable networks of care. Bringing back our Care Work series, we are joined by Alan Pelaez Lopez, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Tiezst “Tie” Taylor to discuss […]
