DISABILITY IS A GENERATIVE FORCE.
IT’S MAGIC. IT REALLY TEACHES
ME TO BE MORE ‘THOUGITFUL
AND AWARE OF MYSELF
AND MY BODY. MY BODY-MIND IN
COMMUNITY. AND, AS ALICE WONG
HAS PUT SO BEAUTIFULLY,
DISABLED PLOPLE
ARE ORACLES.

Hello everyone! I wrote about disabled oracles in the past such as a talk I gave on August 6, 2020, \u201cThe Last Disabled Oracle,\u201d<\/a> as part of Assembly for the Future, a project of The Things We Did Next collaboration based in Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n

Here we are now in 2022 and the wisdom of disabled oracles is needed more than ever. I am proud to share my latest project, Society of Disabled Oracles<\/a>, a collaboration with Aimi Hamraie and Jen White-Johnson.<\/p>\n

This is a website featuring \u2018telegrams\u2019 by disabled oracles to the world in the form of text, video, audio, and graphic art. A living chorus and archive of disabled wisdom from the past, present and future.<\/p>\n

Share your oracular truths with the world!<\/p>\n
