Happy August!

It’s interesting navigating having pride in covering disability issues while dealing with negative symptoms of disability. Just some musing.

Here’s what I’ve had published this month.

August 3: The Great Inflammation Panic (I’ve been working on this since last year, so I’m relieved that it’s out).

August 4: Right-Wing Media Is Attacking Francesca Hong for Mental Health History

August 13: A Trump Judge Called Mail-In Ballots a Threat to Democracy

August 19: How Trump’s Deportation Machine Deprives Deaf People of Their Humanity

Here is a recording of my disability and journalism panel at SF’s Disability Cultural Center towards the beginning of the month. I was on the Joan Esposito radio show on August 4 talking about a variety of articles; listen here. Here’s a Conspirituality Pod episode featuring me about my inflammation article below. I was on Texas Standard on August 21 talking about the experiences of Deaf people in the deportation machine. And lastly, here’s a Q&A I did on my journalism career as a disabled person for Andrew Pulrang’s newsletter.
