  2. How do societies remember those once hidden behind institutional walls? The Swedish podcast "Vipeholmsanstalten" reconstructs the world of neglect, coercion and medical experimentation in one of Sweden’s largest institutions for intellectually disabled people.

    Anna Derksen explores how the podcast produces historical knowledge as a form of mediated memory 👇

  3. Pioneering disability rights advocate Helen Keller was born on this day in 1880. An inspiration to many, her legacy is extensive. We're pleased to offer powerful tools for teaching with Crip Camp about Disability Rights and the contemporary Disability Rights activists who picked up her torch.

  4. Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution follows a group of disabled teens as they become historic disability rights activists.

    Crip Camp chronicles decades of disability activism and the fight for disability justice. The film includes the 1973 504 Sit-in, where people with disabilities and the disability community occupied US federal building to push for groundbreaking disability rights legislation. It also highlights the 1990 protests in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of the most stirring scenes imaginable—disabled activists pulling themselves up the Capitol steps in what became known as the “Capitol Crawl.” No overview of US protest history is complete without Crip Camp. 6/n

  8. CW: cw: Brief summary of the Sagamihara stabbings, eugenics mention, ableism mention

    It is July 26 in Japan, and today marks the 8th anniversary of the Sagamihara stabbings by eugenicist Satoshi Uematsu. 19 people were murdered, and 26 were injured. It remains the deadliest mass stabbing by a single person outside of wartime in Japanese history.

    Uematsu was not unique in his eugenicist attitudes towards people with disabilities. We still see it reflected today in blasé attitudes towards accessibility and the ongoing covid19 pandemic.

    Take a moment today to #PrayForSagamihara and to reflect on how we can eliminate eugenics from popular thinking and combat ableism in all its forms

  14. This may be a stupid question, but was this purely a gag mocking Dale's chain-smoking habits, or was it also a reference to an old sort of accessibility device that used to exist back in the day?

    This episode would have aired in 2002, and back then it really wasn't a gag in Texas for there to be smoking indoors in lots of places, but as the sign in the scene indicates, by law smoking had been banned in hospitals since 1975. So, it's not supposed to be realistic that a hospital of that era would actually have wheelchairs like that around. But maybe the creators from their youth remembered older people with these kinds of set ups, and the joke was supposed to be that the hospital had really old wheelchairs like this sitting around that did actually used to be around in the world.

    Anyway, sometimes a cartoon joke is just a cartoon joke, but a lot of "King of the Hill" is deep cuts of real life stuff, and it would be cool to know more about this one if that's so.
