Info Post
I've been putting off writing about this for many weeks now because I wanted to express the connections between disability and war and oppression and civil unrest in some intellectual and compelling fashion, but really, what's more compelling or obvious than the fact that war always and inevitably causes death and disability? And oppressed people who fight for their humanity become more disabled in greater numbers when their oppressors try to maintain control.

I wanted to talk about the connections between my pet topic here of disability rights and Brownfemipower's writing on indigenous rights and how they intersect, but really, they are one and the same. Sometimes disability arises in specific interesting ways through the topics BFP covers, but it's really present in every image and word.

Here's an example in a four-minute video intro to a movie.
