ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

Everyone can organize.
Everyone can contribute to social movements.
Everyone can do something, from somewhere.
None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic.

Today I'm thinking about Ethel Mae Mathews, a fierce advocate for welfare rights and opponent to the Atlanta Way. A small part of her career fighting for justice, she worked to increase school integration in APS.
