In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

Pointing to the coloniality of current social relations invites an understanding that logics of colonial violence were dispatched but never recalled. These logics include the idea that survival of the colonial state requires the annihilation of the other... wherever they are.

"Steps and stairs are also one of the ways our physical environments are made inaccessible for many"
