“In Martinez’s versions, Mirabai is indomitable, sexy, exceedingly earnest, sometimes funny, always speaking at the border of body and spirit… these 500-year-old poems read like swift, contemporary lyrics, timeless yet utterly urgent. This book will earn Mirabai new disciples.” 💙

“UChicago’s national ranking for selectivity, currently No. 4, depends crucially on its rejecting so many women. Its selectivity of men alone would drop it out of the top 10. By contrast, Chicago’s selectivity for women alone would place it in the first position in the country.”

ableism. The belief, conscious or unconscious, that there is one standard or supe rior type of body or mind and that systems should be designed to meet the needs of those who fit the perceived norm. Internalized ableism refers to how this belie can cause those with cognitive or physical disabilities to view themselves negatively and work to mask their differences rather than critiquing ableist systems.
Anti-ableism is the belief that all bodies and minds have inherent value and that systems should be designed so all can navigate them with ease and be allowed to

REBECCA MAKKAI
In sixth grade I showed up for school one day wearing pink corduroys and a sweatshirt covered in neon swirls. This medium-cool look was fairly standard for me in 1989, as were my messy hair and dirty sneakers. I was, as usual, running late.
What wasn't usual: stares and confusion from the rest of the class, someone asking, "Why are you wearing that?" Everyone else, I realized, was wearing extremely formal clothing for a Tuesday morning.
Coats and ties, dark dresses, polished black shoes. I sat with them on the floor (this was a Montessori school and, thank god, I was never stuck at a desk), and someone reminded me that we were attending the funeral of our classmate's father that day.
"Reminded" is a strange word here, because I had absolutely no idea that this was happening. I was very aware of this man's passing, and I might have known (I can't remember now that there was

When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was skeptical. He said once he got it running, we’d be out of a job, so when the boys started talking about breaking into the factory and smashing the thing, I was on board. Until, that is, I saw the funny tapestries it could make.

Gutted to learn this morning of the passing of disability justice activist Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social 😥 I admire her writing & fierceness in advocating for herself & others for protections in hospital in the early days of the pandemic, how I came to know of her. What a force! RIP Alice 💜

Screenshot of a post from @SFdirewolf Alice Wong’s X account posted very early this morning:

This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.
Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
