Call for Participants — Research Study
Are you a neurodivergent tenure-track faculty member in the U.S.? I’m conducting a study on how neurodivergent scholars navigate faculty work, the tenure clock, and “crip time.”
I’ve just finished watching ‘Sinners’ again. I can’t say how many times I’ve seen it now. I can say it’s such a gift and I’m literally in tears at this art. What a beautiful, brilliant invitation to cinema. Ryan Coogler, man. What a generational talent. Every thing & everyone gave their best here.
Been on a writing streak for days and hoping to get done so I can lean into break. But getting ahead of these deadlines is very important. Writing is easier now that I have the newest Bruno Mars album. I love love love it. I’m also a long time member of the fan club.

And it extends my traditional and written, academic journal published text, without the long wait time. This allows me to bring my scholarship to the public who may never read these texts.
I’m grateful for community spaces and arts organizations that get this. Art doesn’t have to be gatekept.
This “normative” gaze that often positions people with disabilities as spectacle or pity objects.
Patricia Leavy’s Method Meets Art talks about how arts-based research lets us ask questions through creative practice that written scholarship can't fully capture. This is my research & scholarship.
Among many things DJ (sins invalid, Skin, Tooth, and Bone) teaches: leadership by most impacted, intersectionality, collective liberation.This is what that looks like my practice. The subversive nature of my paintings “Nuh Sweet” & “Invitation to Dream” rebuke the ‘disabled as inspiration’.
Nuh Sweet” is my paintings where the text based aspect are written in Caribbean Creole. There is no translation. Glissant called this "the right to opacity"—I don't owe you legibility. My disability positioning is Black and it is Caribbean, shaped by language and culture. This painting centers that.
bell hooks said in Art on My Mind: Visual Politics that art has to be accessible to the communities it represents, not locked in elite spaces. That’s why I’m showing new work at Fishers Arts Council in March—their disability awareness exhibition that's open to disabled artists & community.
Delroy Lindo has held firm to his goal: “I want to be respected for my work.” He sat down with us to discuss his career, his character’s pivotal monologue in "Sinners" and his Oscar nomination. nyti.ms/40wE7Nm
On a dark teal background, white text reads “Black Futures Month,” with yellow text in all caps reading “Activists Creating Black Disabled History Right Now Pt. 3” below. Below is a circle picture of AJ Link, a bald Black man with a beard leaning against a wall by a window. He is wearing a short sleeve light blue button-down shirt with small red, white, and dark blue skulls patterned all over the shirt. Below is the Disability Culture Lab logo in white. At the top is a small repeating geometric graphic shape in black, red, and yellow, creating a colorful border. The same border is repeated at the bottom.

I think a lot about my elders and ancestors and how I’m privileged enough to live a life that maybe they couldn’t have dreamed of themselves as they fought to make a future that is my present reality.” Below is the Disability Culture Lab logo in white.

I’m determined to fight for a future in which my Black disabled kin are free to decide for themselves what their own liberation looks like.” Below is the Disability Culture Lab logo in white.

Our third feature for Black Futures Month is AJ Link, Director of Policy for New Disabled South. Re: Black disability liberation, he describes his determination to fight for a better future for Black disabled kin, thinking about parallels between now and the Reconstruction and Jim Crow apartheid.
Been trying to stay offline because there’s so much on my to do list and I’m trying to avoid Paradise season 2 spoilers. Husband and I are finally getting to episode one! Leggggggggo!
All we can do, right? Care for ourselves and do the work we believe in. Happy Writing!
I said my piece and got off here to focus on writing and work because it’s incredibly frustrating. Exhausting.
This.
Watching, is in order. This is baffling. Lastly, anecdotally, why would the British film industry expect Lindo to ever openly run back to it, in his country of origin when that’s the public reception (& lack of protection) he received last night?
Incredibly wild. Incorrect. Troubling. Incredulous. Please, for once and for all, understand that neurodivergence and it’s spectrum does not give way for racism, racially charged language and linguistic violence. A real and proper apology to all, Lindo & Jordan, those in attendance, & those
two met, fairly publicly last night. One protected group harming another protected group is never ok. As a scholar of disability & race and neurodivergence & race, there is incredible nuance in this case that is missing. But the immediate rush to call the Black people who were harmed, ableist is
The posturing and lack of nuance in this conversation about Tourette Syndrome and the racial slur shouted 3 separate times at last nights BAFTA awards is truly awful. Reminder: it’s not ableist to call this out. There is an intersection between race and disability and racism and ableism. And the
Black people with Tourette's don't get awards from royalty or biopics.
They don't even get proper treatment.
None of this game makes sense.
This is one of the fastest. Busiest. Shortest. Longest. Weeks. Ugh.
A couch in my office would be so wonderful.
The wildest thing this week. I know it’s only Tuesday, but I caught myself saying the same things my dissertation chair said to me, about and to my grad students. (It was all good though), but here I was all these years later. I’m literally turning into my former faculty lol.
Faculty: Help us build a wish list for accommodation requests! We invite instructors to share perceptions of disability support services for students in #HigherEd. Take a short survey (IRB approved) here: uofmississippi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... Questions? Get in touch! #Accessibility
No matter how I try to get into the Winter Olympics this year, I can’t. I guess I’m counting down to summer 2028!
I was skeptical of this ASW format but they came out and played hard. I was entertained. Now my poor team has 4 days until they play again. 😩😩😩
