​​“Disabled people know what it means to be vulnerable and interdependent. We are modern-day oracles.
It’s time people listened to us.” - Alice Wong



​My teachers are young people, old people, & disabled people. My teachers are gender-nonconforming people & people who live on the margins of “society.” My teachers are non-human people, too, since everything alive has personhood & deserves to thrive.

My teacher is you.

Welcome.
