@theatlantic.com @rosehorowitch.bsky.social No thank you for being the first this year (Jan 2026 print edition) to publish a misleading, misguided, and completely inaccurate take on disabled students in colleges who require accommodations: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... Rose, you make a number

Once you have called disabled people a burden, you have facilitated the devaluation, dehumanization and death of disabled people.

Incredibly important article by @juliametraux.bsky.social: Reproductive autonomy is a disability justice and reproductive justice issue

So proud of my friend @colinkillick.bsky.social resisting RFK's ableist, eugenic bullshit on national news! abcnews.go.com/US/video/aut...

I'm really proud of Jason Chernesky for creating this oral history initiative with @oah.org We will need to understand the full ramifications of these months and these decisions 🗃️: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It is with great sadness that I learned that Devva Kasnitz has past away. She was a disability champion and anthropologist extraordinaire. Devva, you were the first disabled anthropologist I had ever met (aside from myself) and a true friend and role model. I will miss you more than you can know.

#DisabilityAnthropology folks: this Wednesday, a panel on "Cripping Ethnography" with @erindurban.bsky.social @mirandadj.bsky.social @sumicol.bsky.social @kikiyates.bsky.social via Zoom! If you'd like to attend, please DM @erindurban.bsky.social for details.

Very sad to learn of this news.

I'm feeling heartbroken this morning after waking to the news that the brilliant Jonathan Sterne has passed. Even knowing he was sick, this is way too soon. We worked together on www.dukeupress.edu/the-audible-... a genius rethinking of what sound is & on the MP3 book. Field makers. A huge loss. RIP

Not only that, but I subscribe to the idea that we're disabled not due to anything we did or how we are, but because of a world that was built only with the able-bodied in mind. I think the able-bodied hate the word "disabled" because it's a reminder that they built an ableist world.

Thank you to @erindurban.bsky.social for this excellent starter pack of scholars & practitioners in disability anthropology and/or who are using ethnographic approaches to critical disability studies! #DisabilityAnthropology #CriticalDisabilityStudies

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

Two of our all-time favourite scholars in weeks 7 & 8: @shannonmattern.bsky.social and Karen Nakamura @ https://disabilitylab.berkeley.edu/the-nakamura-disability-lab-cal/ @ the MadRadLab!

One of my favorites. ID: looking into a model of an ancient city in a museum through the glass partition, there’s a sticky note on the outside that looks like a speech bubble and it says “I have a story to tell, but the collector never asked me”
