Are disabled artists allowed to tell the stories we want? What's the relationship between art and activism? And can art actually end ableism? In my new essay, I reflect on 10 years of making disability media. www.bodybabble.com/p/do-disable...

A piece gorgeously illustrated by @sonaksha.bsky.social, who reinterprets Matisse and does so complete with Chappell Roan and Charli XCX lyrics. Thanks to Sonaksha and Celestine for helping us find these new scripts.

In this week's Debrief, @celestinefraser.bsky.social looks at the many (often unexamined) intersections between disabled and LGBT communities. She does it with a beautiful evocation of her own story moving through shame, and onto the queer dance-floor. www.disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/goin...
