E355 - Popcorn and Power Chairs 7 - The Whale
Episode Notes In E355, we have another installment of Popcorn and Power Chairs. In this one, I wanted to review The Brendan Fraser led Drama/Horror (horror according to Google) The Whale. I had a lot of feelings about how fatness and disability were portrayed in this one, and I often found the ableism overwhelming alongside the fatphobia. Why didn’t they just hire a fat person? Or a disabled person? And other questions… like who was it made for? I don’t know if this was the way we should have welcomed Brendan Fraser back. What did you think?

How do you tell authentic stories, without catering to an abled audience? How do we deal with internalized ableism, and the feeling of ‘needing to do more’? How do we push back against societal messaging that one marginalized story is enough? Find out more at https://disability-after-dark.pinecast.co

Crip Times Episode 4: The Cindy Baker Episode
Episode Notes “The piece is an opportunity for me to let the public see an artist who is working hard at resisting the impulse to work hard.” This week, Yousef and Kristina are joined by Cindy Baker, a contemporary artist whose work engages with queer, gender, race, disability, fat, and art discourses. We recorded this episode in the summer, but we think you’ll find it really speaks to the end-of-2020 burnout that many of us are collectively experiencing. Cindy describes herself as feeling ‘wobbly’—how relatable. She tells us about her work “Crash Pad,” how she resists the notion of productivity, and how the pandemic has brought to light some things that disabled folks have been advocating for for years. The conversation ends with a reminder that self-indulgence is something that can only ever be positive. As a content, the episode contains a brief mention of Cindy being abducted as a child from minute 38:00 to 41:00.

Episode Notes Everybody gets dressed—but how can fashion be a tool of social justice? This week, Kayla and Kristina sit down with Dr. Ben Barry, Chair of Fashion at Ryerson University. We talk about how we can imagine fashion beyond ‘the ideal body,’ how Ben and others are working to diversify fashion education, and how we can crip fashion, meaning create desirable clothes made by and for disabled people. We speak about how a co-created relaxed fashion show came together through education and Instagram prowess, how Ben’s current research project, Cripping Masculinity, has adapted during COVID-19, and how access to fashion is access to life: to employment, community, desire, and safety. Ben talks about who he looks to in fashion justice leadership. We wrap up this conversation by noting how joy is found both when we take off our shoes, and when our institutions make systemic change. Curl up with your favourite quarantine attire, and prepare to ask yourself some deep questions about how and why we all wear what we do.

Episode 012 - Cripples in Da Club
DisabilityAfterDark on the Dancefloor! In this episode, I talk about my experiences entering the sexually charged spaces that make up the club scene from the perspective of a queer cripple.

I suggest that we need both physical and emotional accessibility available in these spaces so that crips can club too.
