Disabled Parenting Panel
Disabled people make incredible parents. Yeah, it’s a blanket statement, but it’s a cozy blanket because it’s true. It doesn’t matter if the relationship is biological, foster, adoptive, or chosen; we are uniquely prepared to meet our children as whole people from day one. It’s that magical affirmation and unconditional love that we give freely […]

We’ll talk about finding pockets of pleasure in the […]
Disability Visibility Collective Quilt
Alice Wong saw disabled folks as creative geniuses. Whether our creativity manifests in writing, collages, access hacks, recipes, hosting, sewing, brainstorming, speaking, or the complex art of living, Alice saw it all and wanted to share it with the world. When we met with Alice in July of 2025, she shared a dream of a […]
Art Opening: Meeting Points
We’re getting new art at the DCC! Join us for an art opening and celebration of “Meeting Points,” an exhibit featuring tactile photomontages by San Francisco-based disability access artist Rae Lanzerotti. In their words, “My tactile collages exaggerate and transform ways of seeing with texture, shape, and line. On some, I’ve added hidden elements. The […]
Disgruntled Academics | January 2026

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 […]
