homophobia & ableism--support me!
so, im getting kinda nervous because I am supposed to be facilitating a workshop tomorrow about the intersections of homophobia & ableism. I am really excited to have the opportunity to speak specifically about the connections (and to extend it to dealing with chronic illness), but im worried that 1) folks arent going to get it 2) its going to be boring and 3) no one is going to come.
since you all are such *experts* in dealing with these connections, i'd love to have you and your brains present at my workshop. nyc-based folks, this means you. here's the details. hope to see you there! (feel free to send encouragement :))

Blessings on your noggin for doing this important work! The Unity of Otherness is how I think of it, I guess. There are indeed many who don't get it, and there may be one or two of those who show up. All one can do is try to figure out what in your Teaching is so challenging to their world that they are scared and would rather not think about it. And, of course, every teacher hopes folks arrive open to instruction!
I hope you'll let us know how it goes! Break a leg as we say in my world!
