Medieval amputation was a desperate wager at the edge of death.
Without modern anesthesia, antibiotics, antisepsis, or transfusion, surgeons relied on blades, cautery, compression, dressings, sedatives, prayer, and experience to confront wounds that could kill the whole body.

Working on a small oral history project:
The idea is simple: preserve and share audio testimonies by people who stutter, with transcripts, metadata, #accessibility in mind, and a minimal/open-web approach.
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people interested in #oralhistory, #history, #disability, #disabilityStudies, #disabilityhistory, #archives, #diversity, #digitalhumanities or #stuttering.
Looking to follow more people/accounts working on disability studies, disability history, crip theory, disability justice, DisCrit, etc
Who are your favourite follows on Mastodon? Academic, activist, archival, personal, all welcome.

Conversion therapy is literal nazi science, and we should also be calling it that. Lovaas' ABA framework was the framework Rekers built on, with Lovaas' help, applying the ableist torture schema to a presumed-queer toddler. LGBT and autistic conversion therapy come from the same nazi source. Lovaas was LITERALLY a card-carrying Nazi, arrested for it. He was in Quisling's political party.

@mekkaokereke Yup, and the Black Panthers practiced solidarity, too! For example, the nascent disability rights movement in the United States was helped out by the Black Panthers.
Early disability rights activists credit the Panthers with giving them advice and support, as well as spreading word about their organizing. The Panthers also brought food every day to the Section 504 sit-in.

Heute vor 81 Jahren wurde das Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau befreit. Wir gedenken heute all der Menschen, die durch das nationalsozialistische Regime verfolgt, entrechtet und ermordet wurden.⬇️
