I'm frustrated that we've learned nothing and are now dealing with five major infections at one right now: influenza, COVID-19, pertussis, RSV, and walking pneumonia.

I had real hopes that COVID, as a mass-disabling event, would spur a sea change in disability acceptance and solidarity in left groups.
Instead, we have seen the exact opposite, as the left joins with the far right to memory-hole the trauma of COVID and pretend it never existed.

I will bang my pots and pans until I fall over but I’m old enough to remember when disabled solidarity was a point of pride in far left groups, I am so tired of his current streak of internet edgelordism

How has it been two weeks already?!
Anyway, for anyone wondering - the #criplib response to this article will be posted on Friday. Check the #criplib hashtag/Feed. I'm not sure which of us will be posting it, but we'll make sure to tag it.

If you read this article at a superficial level, it's confusing.
If you try to really understand what's being said, it's probably the most intellectually dishonest article I've seen since.... the last time I read a piece of conservative media that pretended to be moderate, I guess?

"This paper explores the relationship between EBP as a system of knowledge governance, its implementation in library work, and the means by which librarians’ value-neutral commitments to EBP consequently serve the interests of oppressive regimes."

I have revived my disability+ libraries bibliography and moved it to a new site #CripLib 📚
Disability + Libraries Bibliography
A bibliography of writings about disability and libraries, with sections on disabled library workers, library service to patrons with disabilities, and meta-analysis/LIS education pieces.

I have a controversial opinion. What if we accommodated disabled people?

The bibliography on this article makes the original one look even worse, not that I thought that was possible. Nary a wikipedia post to be seen. Kudos to the #CripLib academic librarians. Brilliant, evicerating work.
