I've found language and hope and optimism and myself in the work of Disabled artists. Many of them have been where some of us are going. I'm threading a few that are on my mind starting with @shanfinnegan.

There is no “bringing back” institutions (& asylums). By no stretch of the imagination have they closed. There are still people being held in captivity... some have been for their entire lives. Advocacy efforts to keep them open is alive and well.

#CripTheVote The closing of total institutions is the surface. Institutions for Disabled people are scattered throughout all of our neighborhoods. They look like houses or apartments. Go inside and everything is plexiglass w/multiple locks on the doors and minimal furniture.
