    dear blogland people,

    thank you for stopping by! i have spent the week playing around with computer stuff and was inspired to move to my own server (insert a big cheer!!)
    living in an area where i spend a lot of time feeling isolated, media and the fem woc/queer/disability blogosphere has completely changed my life in this last year. i am thankful to be in community with you.
    much of this blog is under construction, but i hope you will continue to browse, chat, and the like. a big thank you to those that helped get this baby started!!
    so much love for you all,
    cripchick

A Few Projects Cripchick Is Involved With

School of Our Lorde

Cripchick is facilitating a satellite campus in her local community for School of Our Lorde. School of Our Lorde is an effort to bring people together to study the poetics, pedagogy, politics and publishing of feminist warrior poet Audre Lorde. You can join an existing campus, participate by distance learning or start your own campus! To find out more, visit: http://summerofourlorde.wordpress.com/

Disability Justice Track at the Allied Media Conference

The Allied Media Conference is an annual gathering where artists, media makers and activists come together to talk media strategies for community building. Cripchick is working with other disabled people to create the first ever Disability Justice track--- a space where we people will dissect a disability justice analysis and have time to talk about the way disability shapes our work as cultural activists, media makers and activists. You can find out more at http://alliedmediaconference.org

Disabled Young People's Collective's first ever Activism, Community, Empowerment Summit

Cripchick is an active member with the Disabled Young People's Collective, a crew of disabled youth working to get free in NC. DYP is organizing a 6 day event in August for disabled youth between the ages 16-24 to come together and learn about disability justice, organizing, and community building.

let’s meet up!

I am traveling a bit this year and want to maximize my time by meeting other activists, artists, and cool peeps (that means you!). Let's talk, video record each others stories, and eat together! I am also up for poetry readings, giving workshops on ableism, organizing and disability justice, and working to build with you. I have commitments during most of these days (workshops, conferences, etc) but if you want me to work with your local group, most of my dates are flexible if I can find a place for my PA and I to crash at nights.

Cripchick's tentative travel dates:

Jackson, MS - first week of March
New Orleans, LA - March 3-5
Raleigh/Chapel Hill, NC - mid march
Portland & Seaside, OR - April 9-15
Washington, DC - May 3-5
