Dear Abigail - big fan of the show. Just saw your latest video on effective altruism and noticed you cited Peter Singer a whole bunch. Citing him a lot makes sense given the topic material. But I don't know if you know how extreme an ableist he is.

He has made a point of publicly calling for the mass-killing of disabled people. He believes our lives are worthless, that we are defective, and comparable to pigs. Here's a quick introduction to Singer's stance on disability. In searching for a quick, accessible intro on his ableism to give you I just learnt that he thinks it is okay to rape disabled people, which was still shocking for me even though I knew he believed disabled people as fundamentally unworthy of respect.

I also recommend Harriet McBryde Johnson's essay on debating her right to exist with Peter Singer. (It's a chapter in Alice Wong's edited volume Disability Visibility, which I recommend!)

You've talked on the show before about the issues of getting into Kant without talking about his racism. I've seen you keep that ethic going like when you talked about Carole Pateman's work whilst also noting she is a TERF.

This is a long way to say: As a disabled person I found it really distracting during your latest video to keep seeing Singer's name without any acknowledgement that he wants people like me dead.

Would it be possible to add to the episode description some acknowledgement of Singer's calls for violence against disabled people? Or in a pinned comment? It doesn't need to be long. Just having something at all would make a difference. Thank you. <3

Mm, I hear you. I already talked about this in response to another ask, and I'm going to talk about it on the post mortem stream too

Another Instagram crosspost! This time for Disability Pride Month!

Note: The Tree is a sequel, but the MC sustains the injuries that make her disabled in book one

[Image: several graphics edited with a picture of The Capitol Crawl as the background. The first image has text reading "Favorite Disability Books."

Have you ever been insane (writing about JCO's criticism of Agnes via Iris Murdoch, IM's romantic friendship with Philippa Foot, IM's antisemitism, moral philosophy, the trolley problem, The Good Place femslash fanfiction, Peter Singer & Harriet McBryde Johnson, disability & sex)

Something is wrong with me but like 75% of it comes from a ridiculous miasma that nobody acknowledges ever and it permeated Agnes Discourse so suffocatingly

I’m thinking of buying some good books for the Little Free Library someone set up at the park. Do you know of any good ones I could donate? Maybe ones that would be good in furthering my community’s understanding of neurodiversity and social justice? Thank you so much!

yes, thank you for the question!

I recommend donating fiction by Terry Pratchett, Ursula K LeGuin, and Becky Chambers. These are speculative authors who write entertaining, fun stories with a keen sense of social justice, with a variety of works for kids and adults.

For nonfiction, I recommend the Hyperbole and a Half books by Ally Brosh, Braiding Sweetgrass and Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Cancer Journals / other essay collections by Audre Lorde, Exile and Pride and Brilliant Imperfection by Eli Clare, Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall, and Too Late to Die Young by Harriet McBryde Johnson.

For kids, Junie B Jones & Magic Treehouse are always hits. I'm also really fond of the Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce.

happy library-ing!

I completely spaced on the fact that you’d already used Elle in the HDM thing! (Yes, I totally read through your MASH back-catalog too.) Should we rename her friend to avoid a mix-up? Ellie, maybe? Or something that isn’t an E name?

(I’m not attached to the name so much as the character concept, so anything that’ll keep our wires from getting crossed works. 😂💜)

—MASH!Anon

lmao no worries; fun fact BJ’s daemon was originally called Sally in the first draft bc i thought it sounded very americana in bj’s white picket fence kind of way, but then i changed it bc i thought it would be So much more fun if she had a name that fit in with the hunnicutt ‘letters’ theme (Bea, Jay, BJ, and Elle lol)

i’m ok leaving elle as is - full context from the messages makes it pretty easy to differentiate, but if we want to spitball i’d offer up Jean or Sara (after the main characters from my Favorite book - ‘Accidents of Nature’ by Harriet McBryde Johnson)

#mash!anon #‘accidents of nature’ man i’ll tell you it was Something to find that book as a kid #baby’s first intro to cripplpunk - ‘Thank G-d for crippled children’ <3

cw: antisemitism

earlier this week at my work, there was an entire classroom of christian students all talking about how they don’t like the sped program’s one jewish student, they don’t like that he’s jewish, they want to brandish a cross in his face like he’s a vampire, etc. 

the teacher did not address this at all, just ignored the students and ignored my attempts to talk to them about it.

I talked to the program director about it and she said that since a lot of the students in the program have trauma, I should be more accommodating of their desires to say bigoted things. she said it was a “competing access needs” issue -- a term she didn’t even know until i told her last week!! 

(reminds me of harriet mcbryde johnson’s iconic line about peter singer: “the bastard’s been to sensitivity training”.  except I'm the one who provided the sensitivity training! this is why Nice Lady Therapists can’t have nice things)

My sister is saying she wants to abort bc she might pass on her disability + chronic pain how do I show her that that’s eugenics?

Anon, I honestly suspect you are a troll. If you are one, get a life.

But on the chance you are genuine and not a troll, then here you go!

Your sister has a right to her body and I hope she has easy access to abortion if that is what she wants.

That said, if you want to know why abortion can be used for eugenics, you can search for both abortion and eugenics on my blog.

There is also this video from Leslie Exp on the topic.

I do recommend reading Unspeakable Conversations, a New York Times article. I used to think that eugenics abortions were not a thing, but the words of the late Harriet McBryde Johnson changed my mind. That is not the primary point of discussion but it is there.

Not every disabled is going to agree on what is and is not ableist, and if giving her information on why eugenics abortions are real does not persuade her, I don't know what would.

I wish you both the best.

tag post!! I'm rewriting this after my computer got mad at me for trying to take a screenshot of an equation while I was tutoring, so I'm sure the quality will be vastly higher this time. second draft and all

tagged by @nonstandardrepertoire thank u

Last song listened to: My husband was watching Russell Harvard's ASL music video of 123456 by Fitz and the Tantrums before bed last night, so that. I just gave it an on-purpose watch, and then as I paused it to look up how to sign Van Gogh (answer: apparently at least one other way than how he did it in the video), I heard my husband watching the same video from the other room lol. He's a big fan of Russell's videos. We once met him, had a whole conversation, were like 'man what a cool guy,' and then only later realized he was famous

Oh, the song? Yeah it's good, it's catchy

Currently reading: I'm like 5 pages into Decarcerating Disability by Liat Ben-Moshe, which is about deinstitutionalization and prison abolition. I also want to shout out some supplemental reading I did after I looked up some of the folks in the acknowledgements - the book looks very dense and academic, so I figured I could use some background info to get into it. So far I've read Harriet McBryde Johnson's The Disability Gulag, an NYT article from 20 years ago (boo NYT, but it's an old article, not paywalled, and I've got adblock on, so). Very informative look at some of the legal battles and success around deinstitutionalization, which is about getting people care in their own homes instead of locking them up in institutions, and is also generally about giving people control over their own care

Currently watching: I hadn't heard of this before my husband suggested we watch it, but This Fool. It's a comedy about a guy who works with ex-gang members and people recently released from prison, including his cousin. It's surprisingly lighthearted, I've found it very charming and funny

Currently obsessed with: honestly I have a lot going on so nothing specific, but I would probably say my seedlings. Going outside and seeing my nasturtiums in particular is definitely a highlight of my day because they're growing super fast. Also watching my marigolds and artichokes, and I just planted cowpeas so they haven't come up yet

            Difficult conversations are not about who's right, rather they are about dissimilar insights, perceptions, interpretations, and beliefs. Effective communication is not only important to be an effective negotiator, but it's very essential in all aspects of life. Regardless of our level of proficiency, some conversations are always cause of Unspeakable Conversations June 07, 2008 In 2003, the NY Times Magazine ran an article, Unspeakable Conversation , an examination of an argument focusing on two people, one Princeton philosophy professor Peter Seeger, and one disability advocate, PDF | On Jan 1, 2002, Lydia Kokkola published The unspeakable | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGate In "Unspeakable Conversations" she details her experience. Harriet McBryde Johnson effectively uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos and pathos, along with her uses of first-person narrative and descriptive language, to support her argument that contrary to stereotypes, a person living with a severe disability can live a happy and fulfilling life.
