It's 1811. You've been caught stealing some beans and you're dragged up in front of the magistrate's court. You want the Justice of the Peace to be fair, sympathetic, and focused on your case. You glance at his casebook and he's doodling the other officials.

Yesterday was the start of UK Disability History Month - but how can we think about disabled voices in the past in a way that recognises their agency?
Our new series does just that! @beckierutherford.bsky.social introduces the idea that we can historicise disability as more than a medical identity.
