The real problem: being disabled in the US fucking sucks.

Some personal news. Thanks to @ianbonaparte, I will be working again with @KatyRODonnell at @haymarketbooks on an essay collection about "femmephilia," AND I will be working with @kfzbarrow at Penguin on a book about child liberation (building on @la_louve_rouge_'s work on this).
