CitiBikeKaren Talk

May 27 2023. CitiBikeKaren Talk: The Hysterectomy Celebration Fundraiser. Maiamama joins us from the recovery bed as we discuss the CitiBikeKaren Discourse. The “Citi Bike Karen” video footage shows Black teens, subjected to what is widely being derided as fake tears by Sarah Jane Comrie, a physician assistant whose calls for “help” followed the playbook of other white women “Karens” who weaponize their whiteness typically at the expense of Black people.

The Future is Disabled

AI Slidedeck Experiments

During our last Calling Up Justice Accessible Innovation session May 2023 we experimented with a artificial intelligence technology that creates a slidedeck presentation based on your text. We didn’t love the design choices, and it added inaccurate information. We think fine tuning the data helps but the white bias in the design can only be fixed by the programmers at google.

Cook as You Are

At CripCreate, our awesome weekly accessible co-working and socializing space for disabled individuals, we recently had an exciting session discussing cooking hacks to make the culinary world more accessible for us. We shared some fantastic ideas, from using tongs on a knob for wheelchair users to frozen prechopped vegetables for dump meals in a crock pot for those dealing with chronic illness. We even discussed tips like making a snack tray for managing ADHD time blindness or planning overwhelm. One of the participants recommended this book and it looks like it has accessible recipes!

Courageous Space Agreements

These are the courageous space agreements provided by TAP for the AAAA workshop we produced together. They say “courageous” and not “safe space” because safe space equals comfort and they are inviting participants to step outside of their comfort zone so that you can grow today. Spaces are often unsafe for people of color.
