July is Disability Pride Month! What better way to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride and Disability Pride with an Accessible Virtual Pride!
We had an amazing Accessible Pride Celebration Sunday July 2 with over 300 participants. Our full day of activities included Open Mic, Discussion for Trans Joy, Energy Hygiene, Building Inclusive Communities, Storytelling for Kids, We Charge Genocide TV Hackathon and Fiber arts, Black Kink in the Park, Arts and Crafts, Queer Storytelling, Get Ready with me and Queer History.
Our livestream featured music, inspiring speeches, reports from our day full of amazing activities and participatory art making. Post Show Dance Party with DJ Rosez. We’ll be publishing a fuller report later that includes all the people we have to thank, photos and video. This was a huge undertaking and such a joyous success. We’re all so grateful to everyone involved! |

| MaiamamaMaiamama had an active week as she adjusts to being at work. Makeup Monday was a chaotic session where we played with colors and talked about beloved tv shows being removed from streaming services and corporate greed. Watch the replay here. On Gaming4Justice Maiamama looked over and tried to learn how to code a points system in Twine, the free software that she uses to make video games. Watch the replay here. And make sure to check out Calling Up Justice’s game page here. Claudia and Maiamama had a very rich conversation about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 episode 3, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Check out the replay of Trek Talk here and make sure to come back for episode 4, Among the Lotus Eaters. This week Maiamama is taking Makeup Monday off to vacation, but as usual you can join her and look at her videos on her TikTok. Make sure to give her a follow too!
