Still kind of floored that my #ActuallyAutistic ass made it through two conferences within 10 days! #NWSA2022 last week/end and #MMLA2022 . I don’t think I’m cut out for constant conferencing like this, but am so proud I was able to manage my spoons & social battery to have a great time here. And to share #transMad scholarship w/ lots of amazing new and old friends. #AcademicMastdon

The post-#NWSA2022 come down is *so much worse* than the post Disney come down. I sort of kind of understand separatist ideology in these moments except for me I want our island or mountain top to be full of queer crip feminist of color fantasticalness

At the walker art museum in #minneapolis and just ate one of the best (#vegan !) salads I’ve ever had. It’s all in the pistachios.

The restaurant here is the perfect place for me to read, plus the galleries in this space were wonderful to wander. So glad to be here! #NWSA2022 #MMLA2022 #AcademicFedi #academicMastodon

@naomilawsonjacobs I just just presented at #nwsa2022 about cringe + reclamation, among other things. So glad we’re collectively trying to overcome ~cringe culture~.

This, and the way I was able to be in community with #queercrip & #transmad kin are truly the whole point. I’ll be sad to see #nwsa2022 end tomorrow.

In case folks didn’t see it bc it’s buried inside of a long e-mail #NWSA2022 is now requiring rather than recommending vaccination & masks at the conference. I think leadership needs to send this info out as a separate distinct COVID update since that wasn’t the original plan.

Presenting at #NWSA2022 today at Rage Against the Machine: Navigating Abolition Systems of Care!

My presentation is titled “Minor Matters: Disability, Childhood, and Technologies of Shame,” and will be about the exploitation-as-“care” of those marked “dependent,” making connections between chronological youth and disability across age, as caregivers accumulate power and capital via their subjugation.

This will be a hybrid panel, starting at 11 CST. Message for the zoom!

Also #nwsa2022 I now have way more new books than I can reasonably bring home 😵‍💫

#nwsa2022 thinking so powerfully rn with care - what can we (trans[/]Mad ppl in particular) expect / demand from/to/with each other, across institutions — in the academy, which will never love us, but also amid the MIC, which will never love us, but in which we need to make ourselves loved? At least, bearable to med/psych author(Iris)s? #TransMad

To all those #FirstGen scholars going to a #conference for the first time: you’ve got this. Be kind to yourself. And don’t be afraid to curate. You don’t have to do everything! #nwsa2022

getting ready to leave for #nwsa2022 - NOT pleased to be up at the asscrack of dawn, but at least the flight to Minneapolis is direct.

ok folks, i'm presenting at #nwsa2022 and would love input from ppl more experienced with conferences + access + sharing knowledge. do you share slides with the audience beforehand? share a google doc of the paper? i want to protect my time & knowledge as a grad student while also respecting the needs of audience members.

Working on my poster on #Catholicfeminists & the #EqualRightsAmendment for the #NWSA2022 conference. We will be highlighting the work of Sr. Margaret Traxler, Sr. Marjorie Tuite and Elizabeth Farians, a co-founder of NOW. You can learn more about Farians from the #Wikipedia page I created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Farians #sschat

I am currently working on a project to lobby the #CollegeBoard to create an #APWomensHistory class. I will be presenting this proposal at the #NWSA2022 conference next week. #histodons please check out our petition, we would be grateful if you consider signing: https://www.change.org/apwomenshistory

Looking forward to presenting my research on Catholic feminist nuns who worked for the Equal Rights Amendment the 1970s & early 80s at #NWSA2022 next week. Wondering if any other #histodons will be attending?
