Thought I'd make a thread of all of my publications, for easy access! First up is 'Army recruitment video advertisements in the US and UK since 2002: Challenging ideals of hegemonic military masculinity?' in @MWC_Journal journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf…
This is absolutely terrible news

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

This is devastating news. Alice Wong was such a fantastic thinker and advocate for disabled people. Like others, I learned a lot from her, and the world is a lot poorer without her
ALT 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.
Huge thanks to our wonderful audience (and BISA staff) for making this such an enjoyable event. We're so excited to be convening this working group and hopefully there are lots of good things to come...
