This is my faaaavorite pic of #4c26 so far: Otis the service dog curled up under our lunch table next to the incredibly stylish kitten heel shoe of Aja Martinez.

Yesterday's #4c25 session with @adahubrig.bsky.social, Jo Hsu, @jadeshiva.bsky.social, and Julie Kidder: queer / crip / race / life stories, survival techniques, resistance, awkward confessions, and glitter. I am grateful. Here's a link to our notes, scripts, and slides! bit.ly/cripcompany

You know what #4c25 has that I usually really really miss? Surfaces to put my stuff on. Organizing a conference is a huge series of trade-offs and stuff you just can’t predict (I’ve organized four smaller ones), and I just wanted to say thank you for the many tables, counters, and seating areas.

Well this is cool! The Graduate Reading Exchange. It’s not only about grad students reading; it’s a curated space with stories and reflections sharing experiences, tricks, access hacks, testimonials. #4c25 blogs.bgsu.edu/graduateread...

If you’re itching to make a video at #4c25 showing your access practice, try it out and send it to me! I’ll help you prepare it for Composing Access. And hell yes you can put it on your cv! Comics, written materials, photos—if it can be posted and made accessible, I wanna see it! DM or email.

Fabulous roundtable provocation from @ekalodnermar.bsky.social AND a great model for sharing the handout: make a short URL & put it on *every slide*. Love the concept of “precarious platforms”—I needed this name. #4c25

Hi everyone preparing for #4C25 ! Here’s the “Composing Access” website with all kinds of resources and downloadable media for making your presentation more accessible (including comics!) u.osu.edu/composingacc... Also includes links to this year’s access guide and a history of CCCC access work!

I just received an invitation to discuss disability justice and language. I wrote back to say that I thought they probably wanted me to talk about disability (or disability studies) and language, but I could refer them to DJ activist-writers if that was what they were looking for. 1/2

I just finished knitting this orange shawl. (Pattern is Goldwing by Ambah O’Brien.) The “wing” Is a little crooked on one end because our cat Sam chewed it.
