Recent Highlights
Go give them their flowers. An essay on grief and memorial in disability community:
“As I think about love and loss, it makes me think about building community, and the need to recognise people sooner rather than later. To be disabled is to have your plans disrupted. We have to make time and space to give people their flowers when they’re alive.” (May, Disability Debrief)
Coming together as we fall apart Was the Global Disability Summit a Goodbye?
“The summit was a stocktake of worldwide progress made on disability rights in the past twenty years. And it was full of promises, meant to be the next step in taking that progress forward. But the event also demonstrated how governments focus selectively on only some areas of disability rights, and how marginalized groups get left off the agenda.” (Apr, Disability Debrief)
