Today is the last day to register to attend *in-person* this fantastic talk by Keiko Nishimura on robot-human relations in BL and GL manga. (No preregistration is needed to join us on Zoom.)
Now that it’s website official, I’m pleased to announce that I was recently elected Secretary of the Society for Disability Studies. I look forward to using my position to bolster scholarship, advocacy, and the rights of disabled persons across the world! disstudies.org/index.php/202…
I am so glad that we have folks like @skyfarm1229 representing us in the Diet. Truly, this was a historic exchange, which I hope will lead to the creation of a new forum in which the voices of disabled persons and other affected parties will be heard.

本日、舩後議員と天畠議員と一緒に障害者総合支援法等の５つの法案を束ね、まとめて審議することに対し反対の要望書を官邸に提出してきました。首相に直接手渡すことは断られましたが、今回の束ね法案は障害者の生活や人権に関わる重要な法案ですから、一つ一つ十分な審議を求めていきたいと思います。
A bit late to the party, but pleased to share that my panel, "Pandemic Possibilities: Empowerment, Exclusion, and Social Justice in Japan and South Korea," has been accepted to #AAS2023. Looking forward to working with @johngrisafi, @gentansh, @AlexHambleton, and @StevensCaro.

This semester, #TokyoCollege is teaching an interdisciplinary #zengakuzemi in the #UTokyo #CollegeofArtsandSciences for first- and second-year students. Come study with us!
Having been there before myself, I know just how uncomfortable this can be, physically and emotionally. All of my solidarity and support, Alice.
Recovery update: laid in my poop in bed for 2 hours because my paid caregiver forgot to come (no emergency/illness) 💩
This is the reality for me & many other disabled & older people because we live in a society w/o a care culture & infrastructure 😤
