Creating a list of disabled/crip folks on the Mastodon fediverse for people who want to find disabled folks/disability researchers to follow. It includes people who are disabled and those who work on disability/crip theory/access, so the form includes an optional response for self-identification as disabled/crip.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CXV-tTb5oH7x8JCVZ54avofzVgyMPpy5T63Haq0ND0A/edit?usp=sharing

@kavana Do you mind sharing your reasoning behind using "crip" language? I think I missed that conversation and I want to understand. Are we taking back the slur or something? (I'm disabled, but not wrt to mobility.)

@corbden sure! The term crip is being reclaimed by disabled people, paralleling the term queer in the lgbtq+ community - an attempt to take pride in the disabled identity. There is also an academic move towards what is called "crip theory" that challenges ideas of what is "normal", which is also called "cripping" something, where crip becomes a verb. You can reclaim it if you identify as disabled, doesn't have to be mobility 😊
