Ideas and learning might be what’s bringing me the most joy lately. I just ordered this book by my new disability justice hero Aimi Hamraie. It’s called Building Access:
Universal Design and the Politics of Disability.
Aimi Hamraie is a professor who lives in Nasheville, and I learned about them in a lecture for my disability justice and accessible design certificate. They have a thrilling lecture that I want to watch again and again about design. I think I’m turning into a slut for design.
A cool thing is that Aimi Hamraie has an interest in permaculture. I suspect that they might have co-evolved something like Disabled Resilience Permaculture over in Tennessee.
Nulcear Nuevo Mexico by Myrriah Gómez is a book I recently bought that lights the fire of my mind also. Here it is on my altar before I started reading it.
How could that much crying bring me so much joy? Probably you know how there are so many kinds of joy.
Nothing like the truth to wipe that ignorance off of me. The truth hurts, but ignorance hurts more insidiously.
