resource list by x~
digital stim corner and resources!
here you will find links for sensory joy and play; resources for survival; recommended readings; and more! mostly free with some options to support BIPoC, trans, disabled owned businesses.
this list begins with stimming then proceeds into survival resources, some fun semi-wellness treats, and then ends with loads of abolitionist, Black anarchist, and afro-pessimist readings as downloadable PDF’s. should be screen-reader friendly, but contact x, if having trouble with any links or downloaded files!
shoutout to the real ones out here doing the work for us 💜 (heart)
enjoy,

Sins Invalid is a disability justice based performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and LGBTQ / gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. Led by disabled people of color, Sins Invalid’s performance work explores the themes of sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body, developing provocative work where paradigms of “normal” and “sexy” are challenged, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all bodies and communities.23
