I learned so much from my fellow panelists @CripKidLit hosted by @CRASSHlive @Cambridge_Uni today! I discussed how physical disability "tames" neurodivergent approaches to time in What Katy Did with @rachelmmilne moderating. 4 amazing papers on 19th/20th c. texts!

10. What can the Air Temples in Avatar: The Last Airbender tell us about performative accessibility? Can the linguistic case structure of a fictional language help us express real-world feelings around cure and crip time? In a world full of magic, who are miracle cures even for?
