Hi everyone preparing for #4C25 !

Also includes links to this year’s access guide and a history of CCCC access work!

I should have added! Photos by Angela Donahue.

To be fair, I’m biased on the “crafting makes everything feel easier” issue but I think it helps a lot of people enjoy the space in wildly different ways

Exactly! I belong to two SnBs in Columbus— one mostly online, one in person, both queer-led — and it feels like it makes everything so easy

Also, that’s a fantastic description!

Those. Are. INCREDIBLE!!

Omg I can’t believe we didn’t hold a Crab Lab!! (This is what some of my colleagues and I call our research meetings when no one is in a good mood) @christateston.bsky.social

I really want the record/crafting party every year! I couldn’t go this year because Friday was a long day for me and by 7 PM I was super done. One of the only things I had big SOMO about this year.

That is such a good way to look at it

I have never worn a "first timer" ribbon bc it makes me feel embarrassed. Are those good to have? Or no? Or both? (obvi it's both) (I don't even like to admit it when I'm at a restaurant and the server asks, "Is this your first time here?")

You know what else feels very present @ruthieoo.bsky.social ? It's mostly white kids who are using the space with a sense of permission, safety, command. I see lots of Black and POC lil' babies, but from what I can discern, most are in a different discourse community when it comes to public conduct.

"the room is audibly / palpably with her" ... I'm hoping to remember this! <3

Yesterday's #4c25 session with @adahubrig.bsky.social, Jo Hsu, @jadeshiva.bsky.social, and Julie Kidder: queer / crip / race / life stories, survival techniques, resistance, awkward confessions, and glitter. I am grateful. Here's a link to our notes, scripts, and slides! bit.ly/cripcompany

Right?!?!

Is there any chance you are going to the community research mentoring session at 2 o’clock? That’s where I’m headed. I have stickers!

You know what #4c25 has that I usually really really miss? Surfaces to put my stuff on.

Organizing a conference is a huge series of trade-offs and stuff you just can’t predict (I’ve organized four smaller ones), and I just wanted to say thank you for the many tables, counters, and seating areas.

I definitely don’t want to bring pressure to anyone, but for folks who have capacity, giving out little gifts at sessions is so much fun!

Just incredible

Both are great! I find QR codes slightly more subject to failure (old phones may be running out of charge, some rooms are huge & it’s hard to grab the code) but I’ll take either one.

Well this is cool! The Graduate Reading Exchange. It’s not only about grad students reading; it’s a curated space with stories and reflections sharing experiences, tricks, access hacks, testimonials. #4c25

The Graduate Reading Exchange
Published as a team-authored website, this project centers on developing new understandings of the challenges and complexities entailed in graduate-level reading and create an array of resources that help graduate readers and those who support graduate readers better navigate these complexities.

Everybody at the RHM roundtable session is killing it!!

(They’re “eating”? I think)

#4c25

If you’re itching to make a video at #4c25 showing your access practice, try it out and send it to me! I’ll help you prepare it for Composing Access. And hell yes you can put it on your cv!

Comics, written materials, photos—if it can be posted and made accessible, I wanna see it! DM or email.

Fabulous roundtable provocation from @ekalodnermar.bsky.social AND a great model for sharing the handout: make a short URL & put it on *every slide*. Love the concept of “precarious platforms”—I needed this name. #4c25

Damn it! bullshit!!! I’m so sorry!!!

I love that this gave you a (wry) chuckle 🙂

Disability justice is an anti-capitalist movement led by disabled and queer people of color. It doesn’t center white people and it’s not focused on academia.

Here’s something I wrote about that, expertly edited by @sfdirewolf.bsky.social :

I just received an invitation to discuss disability justice and language. I wrote back to say that I thought they probably wanted me to talk about disability (or disability studies) and language, but I could refer them to DJ activist-writers if that was what they were looking for.
