Cafe Crip: 1 Year In
Cafe Crip is a monthly gathering to talk about important topics within our disability communities. It’s a year into this hellscape political climate. Octavia Butler writes in her prescient book, Parable of the Sower, “All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change.” This month, we’re […]
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 […]
Superfest Submissions Committee Info Session
Hey Superfest fans! Do you want to help shape this year’s festival? You could join our Community Submissions Committee, facilitated by filmmaker Shaina Ghuraya!

We’ll meet weekly starting […]
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 […]
Grief in Motion
Grief moves through us in waves — sometimes quietly, sometimes with force. In this workshop, we’ll explore movement as a way to honor the many shapes that grief takes, allowing it to be felt, witnessed, and gently transformed. Together, we’ll move, rest, and reflect in community — creating space for tenderness, curiosity, and release. Movement […]
Care Circle: Anxious Queers
Dealing with hate, skepticism, the stripping of rights, attacks on safety, and an oppressive news cycle – it’s nothing new, but it’s bigger and harder than ever. Our hearts are racing, our sleep is struggling, our tears are flowing, our tempers are raw, and the day-to-day is brutal. A couple of our DCC resident anxious queers […]
Cafe Crip: Neuroqueer Theory
Cafe Crip is a monthly gathering to talk about important topics within our disability communities. This month, we’re digging Dr. Nick Walker’s neuroqueer theory “the practice of queering (subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from) neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.” We’ll be reading her work and discussing all the different ways we neuroqueer and are neuroqueer. If […]
QTBIPOC Together Time: Feelings
We’ve been channeling our rage, managing our grief, and basking in moments of joy. We honor all the coping mechanisms and survival strategies that get us through, but to be free, we need to let it out. Come share your (Big F) Feelings in an open and supportive community. No Feeling is too big, and […]
