Pattern is www.crochetingsavvy.com/shop/p/mini-... but I modified it to have pointy ears because her ears are the weirdest always changing between upright and flopping over almost being able to stand but not quite.

May her memory be for a revolution. May it deepen our commitments. May her example sharpen our politics. May her life remind us that disability justice is a practice of transforming the world through collective care, accountability, creativity, defiance and imagination.

Whenever I have to think about mortality, about the fragility of my body, I want to make things. I want to do traditional art or fiber arts. I want to put something of me into the world.

Is any of this "offensive"? No, but it's instructive. Notice the people blurting "waffles!" above aren't internet randos, like the reply gals that got Jay so upset to start with. They're operators of startups and journalists who were published in the economist, like, last week.
They're an ingroup.

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.

You're telling ME and a lot of other people to deny our own disabilities, and not to bother seeing ourselves in kids like yours, and frankly, MY life would be worse and less sustainable if I did that.

...but you're trying to cut US off from the knowledge and experiences of kids like yours.
And I have learned AT LEAST as much about my own disability from autistic people w/ support needs much higher than mine, as I have from people whose lives look more like mine superficially.
