### **Feminist Perspectives on Data: Dovan's Views on Data Feminism** A brief quote summarizing thoughts on data feminism after the Internet Swatantrata Samwad https://www.instagram.com/p/CTWprFVK0Zc/ Discovering the Instagram account of Nepal-based organization Body and Data has felt like a tremendous gift, in no small part because of the focus on ensuring accessibility and safety in how we relate to the digital. There's so much great content on there, and I really enjoy the format of these report-backs on data feminism from their Internet Swatantrata Samwad (rough translation: conversations on Internet freedom)! ALT TEXT: Image is the header of an Instagram post from Body & Data, whose logo (consisting of a series of three orange-red squares and a face between them) appears right at the top. Below, in Nepali, is written Internet Swantantrata Samwad in black text. Beneath that, in brown, text reads, Feminist Perspectives on Data. The last line of text is in blue and reads, Dovan's perspectives on Data Feminism. The text is against a light yellow backdrop, with the WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter logos in the background, as well as a symbol for WiFi signal.

### **Critical Axis** A community-driven project analyzing disability representation in media https://www.criticalaxis.org What worlds open up when we think of disability as (the root of) a creative technological practice? The Disabled List, a community that attends to the profound potentialities of disabled lifeworlds (rather than thinking of disability as a form of restriction) has begun Critical Axis, a community-driven project analyzing disability representation in media. I loved discovering different things on their website, and I hope you will too! ALT TEXT: Image of a two line graph against which various labels are placed. From left to right, the x axis moves between traditional on one end and emerging on the other. From top to bottom, the y axis moves between amplify at the top and stigm at the bottom. The first quadrant, i.e., the upper right hand corner of the plane, has the following labels (in purple, with text in white), falling between amplify on the y axis and emerging on the x axis: crip humor, disabled sexuality, cultural pluralism, diversity, and consumer model. The second quadrant, i.e., the upper left hand corner of the plane, has the following labels (in green, with text in white), falling between amplify on the y axis and traditional on the x axis: civil rights, and social model. The third quadrant, i.e., the lower left hand corner on the plane, has the following labels (in red, with text in white), falling between traditional on the x axis and stigma on the y axis: language, supercrip, isolation, infantilization, medical model, charity, no words. The fourth and final quadrant, i.e., the lower right hand corner on the plane, has the following labels (in blue, with text in white), falling between emerging on the x axis and stigma on the y axis: compensation, inspiration exploitation, simulation, universALL, surprise reveal, metaphor, gift recipient. As the website details, when engaging with the graph on there, each of the labels is clickable and leads to examples of disability representation that fall under that label, with an explanation for how they have been classified as such.

### **How Eugenics Shaped Statistics** An article attending to the legacy of eugenics in the development of the field of statistics https://nautil.us/issue/92/frontiers/how-eugenics-shaped-statistics This isn't a particularly joyous source, but I found it important for developing a critical historical perspective on the origin of widely-used statistical measures. By looking at the lives of Francis Galton, Karl Pearson and Ronald Fisher, the article makes explicit the ways in which we might carefully reconsider the supposed objectivity of statistics.

### **Design Practices: "Nothing About Us Without Us"** A book chapter that discusses how lenses from the disability justice movement can inform design practices https://design-justice.pubpub.org/pub/cfohnud7/release/2 This book chapter looks at the history and current practices of various kinds of participatory design, drawing from disability justice principles. I learnt a lot from its careful consideration of the power dynamics that shape inclusion, and for the ways in which it makes explicit the links between processes of design(ing) and the work of (community) accountability! ALT TEXT: Hand-drawn, black and white image of a group of people holding a sign. The sign reads, "Nothing About Us Without Us." From left to right, there are six people in the image. The first has short hair and wears a dress that ends above their knees. They stand on their left leg, and their right leg ends above the knee. On the right side, they lean against one crutch. The other crutch holds up the beginning of the sign. The second person appears younger, and is sitting in their wheelchair under the sign. Their hair is pulled up above their head, with some strands falling down. They are pointing up to the sign. The third person wears a t-shirt and jeans, and is signing while wearing what appears to be a hearing aid. They are leaning onto the fourth person, who appears older, has long hair, and is squatting to hold the fifth person. The fifth person appears to be a young child, held up by the fourth person. The sixth person wears dark glasses, and a t-shirt and jeans. Their cane holds up the other end of the sign.

### **Episode 8: Contra*Hashtag with Moya Bailey and Vilissa Thompson** A podcast episode about accessibility, Black disabled activism and resisting ableism https://www.mapping-access.com/podcast/2019/1/14/episode-8-contrahashta… I love every episode of this podcast that thinks critically and with so much care about accessibility and design (and models access in various forms!), so I had a hard time picking but this is one that I enjoyed tremendously! Dr. Moya Bailey and Vilissa Thompson, two black feminist disabled scholar-activists, talk with Aimi Hamraie about hashtag activism in social media spaces as a means through which black disabled women resist ableism and misogynoir. ALT TEXT: Image consisting of black text against a white background. The image is the logo of the Contra podcast. Text reads Contra, with a * after.

### **In Discussing Accessibility Solely Through the Disability Lens, We Limit Who Benefits From Access** An article on thinking about access as an act of collective care https://www.firstpost.com/living/in-discussing-accessibility-solely-thr… In this beautiful essay, Srinidhi, a disabled writer and researcher, frames access more broadly than as a set of responses to the logistical needs that disabled people may have, urging us to think of it instead as "an act of collective care" toward expansive world-building. I have learnt so much from the richness of her writing - every single column in this series is a gem! ALT TEXT: Image of a ramp against the wall. One side of the ramp has a steel barrier for support. The ramp is gently sloping. The wall next to it consists of rectangular blue, grey and white tiles of different sizes. In the background trees are visible.

This report emphasizes the importance of centering disabled experiences in the design of interventions that address algorithmic harms. ALT TEXT: Text consisting of black block letters against a white background. The text is the logo of the AI Now Institute. The letters AI are filled in with medium width vertical lines. The letters NOW are thin lines of text.

I particularly love the linked Manifest-no playlist, which is a sustained, careful conversation with a wide body of writing that has informed the development of the refusals and radical futures listed. A favorite quote: “Data is a thing, a process, and a relationship we make and put to use. We can make it and use it differently.” ALT TEXT: Text consisting of red block letters against a white background. The text is the logo and it reads: Feminist Data Manifest-No.

### **How Disabled Mutual Aid Is Different Than Abled Mutual Aid** A blog post on the life-giving practices of disabled mutual aid https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2021/10/03/how-disabled-mutual-… I have an enormous debt of gratitude for all that I've learnt from Leah Lakshmi's thinking and writing, as well as the wonderful work that the Disability Visibility Project puts out, but during this long pandemic I have been especially grateful for the ways that my disabled communities have held my heart. I smiled at every paragraph of this blog post on the magnitude, technologies and messiness of crip care. ALT TEXT: Illustration of six people in a room, bathed in soft colors and under a string of lights, with the pansexual flag in the background. The first two people are sitting facing each other on a bed, on top of the comforter. Behind them are two pillows and two small stuffed animals. The first person is brown skinned, and wears a t-shirt and shorts, and has their curly black hair pulled up. They are holding one hand in the other. They appear to be midway through conversation with the second person, who faces them with their hair in a bonnet, wearing a pink tank top and yellow capris. Next to the bed is another larger bed, on which four other people sit or lie down. Between the two beds is a small night stand, on top of which is a phone plugged in to charge (with a heart shaped notification above it), a lamp and two pill bottles. The third person, lighter brown skinned, lies in bed, their hair up in a turban. They are playing with the hair of the fourth person, which is black, thick and curly, and falls below the person's shoulders. The fourth person is brown skinned, and rests on their left arm, wearing a yellow striped t shirt. Behind them is the fifth person with what appears to be a CPAP mask on, through which a tube flows down. They are wearing a brown-purple tshirt with yellow sleeves and their eyes are shut. In front of them is the sixth person, who has their hair tied back and is leaning in from the bottom right corner of the bed. They have their elbows and arms propped up on a pillow, and are reading from an open book. Next to them is a phone playing music.

### **Sick Woman Theory** A personal essay on caring, illness and the work of bearing witness to each other's lives https://johannahedva.com/SickWomanTheory_Hedva_2020.pdf So much of what Johanna Hedva writes about in Sick Woman Theory has stuck with me, but I've particularly loved the following excerpts: "Sick Woman Theory is an insistence that most modes of political protest are internalized, lived, embodied, suffering, and no doubt invisible...The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself." ALT TEXT: Image is a photograph of a person wearing a red dress, lying against a white comforter. The red dress has a light white border, and is long-sleeved. The person is fair skinned and has brown hair, with one blond streak on either side of their hair, parted down the middle. The photograph has been taken at such an angle that the person appears to be flying into the camera. The person has short nails with dark blue nail polish on both hands. Their right hand is against their stomach. Their left hand is spread out, and under their hand there appears to be a number of medications, including pill bottles, that they are trying to contain with the hand. Their lips are outlined and filled in with black lipstick. Their mouth is open, and they appear to be midway between a scream and saying something.

### **Against Access** A reflective essay on the limits of access https://audio.mcsweeneys.net/transcripts/against_access.html I've come back to this essay by deafblind author and educator John Lee Clark again and again, each time sitting with something to chew on for my own understanding of access. Clark writes compellingly about the conceptual and practical limits of the concepts of access, particularly when imagined through normative lenses. ALT TEXT: Image consisting of a logo of McSweeney's, which is that of a black chair drawn against a white background. The chair has arms, and the front two legs appear intricately curved, while the back two legs are straight. The back of the chair has a wood carving through the center but no other support.

### **Revival Disability Magazine** An online platform for Indian disabled communities https://www.revivaldisabilityproject.com/home It brings me so much joy to visit the Revival Disability Project's page, and to see front and center their aim to reclaim stories of disability in India. I love the wide range of narrative formats, and the magazine's focus on the intersections of disability, sexuality and ableism! ALT TEXT: Image of two people illustrated against an orange backdrop with faint darker prints, almost like wallpaper. One person, who is drawn such that the top of the image begins with their neck and the center of the image ends with their head, is lying down and looking at the camera. They have light skin, turquoise colored hair that is largely straight and short, pink lipstick and rounds of blush on their cheeks. The other person, who lies at a perpendicular angle to them, has red wavy hair that is very short. Above their head are two turquoise colored books. To the left of them is a pair of spectacles. They also have rounds of blush on their cheeks.

### **A New AI Lexicon: Pleasures** A brief essay on centering pleasure in our responses to technology's demands https://medium.com/a-new-ai-lexicon/a-new-ai-lexicon-pleasures-1de4bd8a… In this brief, bold essay, anthropologist Sareeta Amrute asks: as we continue to remain cognizant of algorithmic harms, how might we also imagine the role of pleasure as potentially liberatory? What can careful attention to pleasure make room for in efforts to challenge what we frequently understand as hegemonic, top-down algorithms? I have looked forward to every single post in the New AI Lexicon series, and especially appreciated this recent one on caste and policing in India. ALT TEXT: Image of white pixels that form shapes and images against a black background. On the bottom left and bottom right corners, the pixels form identical images of a person working on a laptop. At the center of the image is what appears to be a dotted heart, with eyes above the heart. The eyes are surrounded by symbols, which appear to form the shape of a face. To the left and right of the face are bodies, made by some heavier and some lighter shading. These bodies engage with streaks of light drawn in, as well as with white clusters that appear like stars.

### **Stumped: The Possibilities and Pitfalls of a Cyborg World** A personal essay about the power of disabled cyborg bodies https://blog.sexualityanddisability.org/2019/08/cyborg/ In this warm, open essay, Niluka Gunawardena writes about her experience of losing her arm and the subsequent years of becoming a disabled cyborg. I smiled often at her sharpness in noticing how assistive devices are often means through which gendered notions of normalcy come to be reinforced. ALT TEXT: Image of seven brown skinned people standing against the backdrop of a city. The full moon is visible in the upper left hand corner, and several buildings of different shapes and colors form the skyline. From left to right, the first person is wearing headphones and a yellow t-shirt. Light white wires appear to run across their t-shirt. Behind them, the second person is wearing a blue-black tunic with white spots, and looking to their right. The third person also looks to the right. They have short hair, and wear a full sleeved turquoise shirt and brown pants. Their left arm touches their thigh, and their right arm, which appears to be a prosthetic limb, folds into the left arm. The fourth person stands behind, between the third and fifth person. They wear glasses and have black hair that falls past their shoulders. The fifth person wears a white cap and a white tshirt, and looks to the left, somewhat focused on the watch on their left wrist, from which signals emanate. The sixth person wears a green tshirt with a yellow collar, and green and black shades. They have short black hair. An assemblage of yellow wires runs across their chest. The seventh person has short black hair that is swept off to their left, falling above their shoulder. They are wearing a yellow off the shoulder shirt and working on a black laptop.

If you'd like, the trailer can be viewed here. A short commentary by filmmaker Shweta Ghosh on the process of making the documentary is also available here. ALT TEXT: Image is a poster for the documentary Accsex. The background of the poster is yellow, with symbols appearing in white, some of which include the word desire, a bikini bottom, a pair of handcuffs, a bra, a puzzle piece and a range of other images. At the center of this poster is the text Accsex in black. Below it, text of a smaller size, also in black, reads: Script, Direction and Edit: Shweta Ghosh. Camera: Divya Cowasji. Sound: Priiya.

### **I Am Not Always Very Attached To Being Alive** A personal essay on living with suicidal ideation https://theoutline.com/post/7267/living-with-passive-suicidal-ideation In this honest, tender personal narrative, Anna Borges compares living with passive suicidal ideation to the ocean, at once acknowledging the heaviness of living under water all the time while also gently naming some ways to tread water. I have so much gratitude for the nuance with which Anna approaches an enormously complex topic. ALT TEXT: Image is of a person underwater, paddling and bending back so that their chest is against the surface of the water and their head falls back. Their reflection is briefly seen on the surface of the water. This image is the backdrop, and in front there is white text. The text reads: I am not always very attached to being alive. In a smaller size, but still in white, the text below it reads: Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Let's start talking about how to tread water. A curly line runs from top to bottom across this image, which appears as an animation on the webpage. At the top of the line is the word power, and at the bottom is an arrow head leading into the story.

### **So You're Ready to Choose Love** A trauma-informed conflict resolution workbook to think through social justice https://ariseembodiment.org/free-workbook/ Written as a companion to Kai Cheng Thom's essay collection I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World (or, tbh, the workbook works well on its own), this digital/printable workbook centers transformative justice, paying particular attention to the ways in which our bodies are at the center of how we navigate the world and focusing on how trauma is woven into our responses. ALT TEXT: Image is the text and illustration on the first page of the workbook. The text is white against a black background. The text reads: So you're ready to choose love. Text on the line beneath it reads: Trauma-Informed Conflict Transformation for Social Justice and Spiritual Growth. Below this text is the image of a heart, colored in in red and blue. On the left side of the heart are flames, in yellow, red and black. On the right side of the heart are dots and dashes, in a light red, outlined in white. Below this heart is the text: A loving justice workbook. The final line of text below it reads: By Kai Cheng Thom, MSc.

I appreciate very much the ways it nudged me to articulate the future I want to build, naming clearly patterns of harm and pathways for repair. ALT TEXT: Image of white flowers that show up front and center, behind which there are mountains covered in fresh green and slightly drier brown grass. The white flowers are plentiful and have lush green leaves. Through the gap in the mountain (elevated area), the blue ocean can be seen, with a wave coming up onto the shore.

Other modules within this toolkit are also a fantastic resource for thinking about how our identities intersect with - and shape - our use of technologies. ALT TEXT: Image consisting of the header used for the community toolkit, which is white text against a blue photo background. The white text reads: Community Toolkit for Greater Diversity Training Series. Behind is a faint photograph of eight people sitting around in a circle on the floor, who appear to be participating in a training.

There are also a number of suggestions on specific starting points when considering access at public events. ALT TEXT: Image consisting of the Sins Invalid logo, which is the two words Sins Invalid in white bold text against a black background.

Crip scholar Aimi Hamraie's gentle zine (PDF/google doc) is a nod to their grandfather's intentionality in gardening by the moon phases, and a fantastic way of planning to deliberately build in rest. ALT TEXT: Image is the first page of the slow dwelling zine. In the center is the photo of a full moon, through some clouds, beyond which a shadow of the moon appears. To the right side, text in light blue reads: Slow Dwelling. Text below it reads: Moon Time: Planning the Semester. In white, text below that reads: Fall 2020.

I've learnt a new thing or two about my own relationship to image descriptions each time I've done the exercises with a different partner, or in a group! ALT TEXT: Image is the text on the first page of the workbook, and the text reads: Alt Text as Poetry Workbook. The text is blue against an off-white background. The o in the word poetry, the as well as the three o's in the word workbook, are each a different kind of flower. The o in poetry appears to be a marigold, while the o's in workbook appear to be a dandelion and a hibiscus.

### **Stairs and Whispers: D/deaf and Disabled Poets Write Back** Video recordings of anthology of poetry as text, VisPo, audio poems, sign language poems and performance poetry https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhgiqXzrO0K4A7QANekieh1RO8ob4A_zA The Stairs and Whispers anthology was both generative and soothing to me, and I very much appreciate that disabled voices from the anthology are available also as Soundcloud accompaniments and this YouTube link. Some that I've returned to again and again: Stare by Miss Jacqui and Turtlemen: Bishop in Love by Andra Simons. Some poems have British Sign Language, as noted in the titles of the videos. ALT TEXT: Image is of yellow, white and pink scaffolding on a purple background. The text is largely in white and reads: Stairs and Whispers (both i letters are in yellow). Beneath it text reads: D/deaf and Disabled Poets Write Back (the / is in yellow). After another yellow / the text reads: Edited by Sandra Alland, Khairani Barokka and Daniel Sluman.

### **Crip Infinity** A poem by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha https://anmly.org/ap25/leah-lakshmi-piepzna-samarasinha/ Leaving you with an excerpt from this magnificent poem that writes into existence the crip futures that we want to see: "My goal is to make the revolution irresistible, so listen close... in the infinite crip crazy future, I am not eliminated and neither are you... Nothing horrible happens, You are not taken away, I am not left to die, We take care of each other forever" ALT TEXT: Image consisting of the logo, which is the alphabets A and N in black on the first line, and M, L and Y in black on the second line. Around the alphabets are three crescents, outlined in black and connected to each other, each one filled with a patchwork of colors and patterns.

### **5 Ways to Practice Self-Care in Distressing Political Times** A zine on finding ways to practice self-care during times of political distress https://www.sonaksha.com/self-care-in-distressing-political-times?fbcli… Sonaksha's art has been both calming and meaningful for me over the last couple of years, a reminder that even when little feels right, there can be enormous beauty. Together with author Sheena Dabholkar, their gorgeous illustrations for this zine are a tender invitation to acknowledge how care, resistance and hope are so deeply intertwined.

### **Finding Language: A Word Scavenger Hunt** Interactive video performance by artist Vanessa Dion Fletcher, examining the ways that colonial oppression has mediated her relationship to language https://vimeo.com/541847343 This brief recording of a performance by Vanessa Dion Fletcher, a neurodiverse Lenape and Potawatomi artist, interrogates the ways that colonialism and ableism can fracture our relationship to language. I first discovered Vanessa' work via the Bodies in Translation's Cripping the Arts symposium, and am so grateful to have been able to watch it online!

### **Cis/Het.** An interactive essay via Instagram stories by abstract artist Brit, on queerness, gender and selfhood. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17930355268537885/ Brit's thought-provoking, generative Instagram essay takes us through a series of questions about non-queerness as a way to think about gender essentialism in our own lives. Roughly twice a month, they also do the most delightfully gentle check-ins on their Instagram stories - I hope you'll be lucky enough to catch one, because it always makes my day when I do! ALT TEXT: Image of a hand-drawn Venn diagram, where one circle is labeled Cis, and the other circle is labeled Het. The areas inside both circles and around them, roughly, are shaded in through a brilliant set of strokes of purple paint. However, the area of overlap between the two circles is white, and remains unshaded. Above the Het circle is the word Queer, with a little line denoting that Queer falls outside the Het circle in the shaded purple area. On the bottom right hand corner is the name of the artist, Britchida.

### **The Isolation Journals.** A series of journal prompts by author Suleika Jaouad, as part of a community creativity project started at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.theisolationjournals.com/explore Through a series of creative prompts (daily at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and now weekly!), author Suleika Jaouad brings together a host of creatives who nudge us to think through what it means to live through these times. I first came across Suleika's writing on survivorship through her memoir, Between Two Kingdoms, and am so grateful that this extended conversation of sorts about illness, isolation and virtual connection lives on. ALT TEXT: Image of a brief panel of what appears to be paints being mixed, as part of the Isolation Journals page. To the left is a pinkish brown, with a spot of red on the top corner. Next to it is what starts out as red but is diluted heavily by water. Next to it is a deep green patch of paint. The strokes in between appear to be some experimenting with colors, but not a single block of watercolors. Toward the right of the photo is a patch of light pink paint.
