I've been researching the histories of BSL. It turned out that I went to the oldest Deaf school (in Edinburgh) in the UK. Opened in 1851 and now houses a selection of luxury apartments.

I've been asked to summarize my career for a disability and health lecture series. The first organization I worked for out of college is now closed after 40 years of service. This pretty much sums up the precarity of disability culture in the UK.

Why does this cybertruck picnic remind me of Thomas Hoepker's photograph taken on 9/11? You know the photo with young people hanging out while disaster unfolds behind them. It's pastoral care meets dark tourism.
