  1. I just urged Congress to pass the Latonya Reeves Freedom Act (S.4865 / H.R.9401), which would protect the right of disabled people to live in our communities and receive care at home instead of being placed in institutions.

    I'm writing this from a nursing home. I'm 34, blind, autistic, and multiply disabled — and I don't need this level of care. I'm here because community-based services weren't available to me. That's exactly what this bill is meant to fix.

    If you believe disabled people should be able to live where we choose, please add your voice. It only takes a minute:

  2. Why Australia's autism severity system fails

    Australia provides universal diabetes care but rations autism support through arbitrary classifications. My latest article uses the three-body problem from physics to explain why static severity levels cannot capture dynamic, complex human experiences.

    Key insight: Academic success ≠ reduced the need for support. It often comes at tremendous hidden costs.

    A Mad Turn
    Edited by Phil Smith

    Written by Mad scholars, A Mad Turn explores the field of Mad Studies in theory and practice, and what Mad Studies can bring to academia and to other social institutions. What does it mean to “do” Mad Studies? What are the field’s intersections with disability justice, Mad justice, and gender and queer studies? This book is a bold step toward the Mad Studies yet-to-come—a Mad Studies that Mad people will build, twisting and turning and singing and dancing, a new realm of thinking-being-doing-knowing. Step into it with us.

    Empire of Normality
    Neurodiversity and Capitalism
    by Robert Chapman

    This is a priority read for me!

    I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.

  6. Mad Crip doula: offering holistic and emotional spiritual bodymind care, mixed with practical and crisis support (and plant medicine). moving from a liberation-centered and anti-oppressive lens. a transition doula with skills in: abortion, death, grief, Madness, and Disability.

    endorsing: non-carceral, peer-led mental health care systems that exist outside of the state, reimagining everything we’ve come to learn about madness, and intervening in systems that oppress, disappear, and kill Disabled and mad folks.

    Please Note: I don’t know Them in any capacity and They sure look bad-ass

  7. Open Minded Online
    sharing ideas and resources about holistic approaches to emotional and social wellbeing

    We are two people who both have a great passion for holistic approaches to mental health. This passion has grown out of our own experiences of receiving traditional psychiatric treatment and finding it lacking.

    We believe that it is possible to make sense of intense states of mind often described as psychosis.

  8. Super cool resource & literature. Need more time in a day!!! I just read the interview with Sofia Jeppsson

    The series is designed to provide a public venue for discussion with disabled philosophers about a range of topics, including their philosophical work on disability; the place of philosophy of disability vis-à-vis the discipline and profession; their experiences of institutional exclusion and personal and structural gaslighting in philosophy, in particular, and in academia, more generally; resistance to ableism, racism, sexism, and other apparatuses of power; accessibility; and anti-oppressive pedagogy.
