Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution follows a group of disabled teens as they become historic disability rights activists.

Crip Camp chronicles decades of disability activism and the fight for disability justice. The film includes the 1973 504 Sit-in, where people with disabilities and the disability community occupied US federal building to push for groundbreaking disability rights legislation. It also highlights the 1990 protests in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of the most stirring scenes imaginable—disabled activists pulling themselves up the Capitol steps in what became known as the “Capitol Crawl.” No overview of US protest history is complete without Crip Camp. 6/n

#random thought: #OfflineDannOnline
Es gibt wohl einen Film #CripCamp ( über und aus der US-Behindertenrechtsbewegung (?) der 80er (?) ).
Ich würde den gern mal sehen/haben.
Als er mir #erstmals empfohlen wurde, hieß es: "ist auf #netflix". Das hab ich aber nicht und will ich auch nicht;
Gibt's andere Wege?

We are seeing lots of talk about ableism on our timeline — which is wonderful!

If you want to educate yourself or your students about ableism and language, we have a lesson in our Crip Camp guide about exactly that! It's designed to work with the film but you can use it on its own in a pinch, too. Like all of our resources, it is free for everyone.

Get your free copy today and spread the word.

A Mad Turn
Edited by Phil Smith

Written by Mad scholars, A Mad Turn explores the field of Mad Studies in theory and practice, and what Mad Studies can bring to academia and to other social institutions. What does it mean to “do” Mad Studies? What are the field’s intersections with disability justice, Mad justice, and gender and queer studies? This book is a bold step toward the Mad Studies yet-to-come—a Mad Studies that Mad people will build, twisting and turning and singing and dancing, a new realm of thinking-being-doing-knowing. Step into it with us.

The Soteria model relies on personal relationships, interactive activities, and minimal use of psychiatric medication within a comfortable “living community” as opposed to a conventional psychiatric setting.

The alternative treatment model of Soteria helps individuals suffering from schizophrenia without relying on medication or coercion.

Empire of Normality
Neurodiversity and Capitalism
by Robert Chapman

This is a priority read for me!

I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.

The image in post 3 of the #10films thread is a photo of Judy Heumann from the 2020 documentary Crip Camp.

I'll share an old article from the Washington Post about the film which was nominated for an Oscar:

It was good to learn more about the history of the disability rights movement.

Philosophy and Madness a combination that makes me smile!!!
#MadLiterature
Too mad to be true II - The promises and perils of the first-person perspective

psychiatrieenfilosofie.nl/too-

The second Too Mad To Be True conference that was dedicated to exploring the various links between philosophy and madness. The atmosphere was vibrant and it initiated new ways of thinking and communicating around issues of madness and philosophy. The central theme was both relevant to philosophical and mad theories and practices: ' The promises and perils of the first-person perspective'. The conference was hybrid: both in person, in Ghent, Belgium, as well as online.

Sanism is normalized in relationships with institutions.
It’s not talked about.
It’s woven tightly into unquestioned assumptions (common sense knowledge)
It’s a tool for power and control.
