@JillianWeise, a recent guest on Many Academies, also talked with @InclDisability about the dictionary she edited: @BorgDiem. The interview, with @CorkStephanie, is wonderful. I keep reading it, again and again:) ojs.scholarsportal.info/onta…

Do maybe create Amazon Wishlist People can send stuff & also get point on their account ( that’s how I afford underwear, by buying cat food) Yes, it’s a Crip strategy, but it appears that all help is Crip2Crip these days. In fact, let’s amplify: #borgdiem here’s #Crip2Crip

I propose, as a counterpoint to their "malingering," we adopt "malabeling." I particularly like that it's got phonetic echoes of "ableism" as well as "malice" and "mislabeling" (or simply "labeling," as opposed to pursuing causation and—one hopes accurately—diagnosing.) #BorgDiem

I’m sorry to share that Jon Henner, one of our Cyborg judges for #BorgDiem, passed away earlier this week.
Many of you know that @jmhenner (Jon Henner) has been giving the finger to cancer for the last 6 years. I'm heartbroken to tell you that Jon left this mortal coil Monday, August 14th at 7:16am. Details about where to send condolences will be posted in the next couple of days.
