    <Thread> Today, I finished the proofs of my forthcoming book, , which examines deafness cures in history and promotes a conversation about what it means to be deaf. This is my debut book. It is a piece of my soul materialized. My deaf story is in there too.

    A book with a yellow cover with the words HEARING HAPPINESS DEAFNESS CURES IN HISTORY BY JAIPREET VIRDI. There is an illustration of a woman holding a conversation tube.

    In Jan 2018, I set goal to email someone 1x a week to tell them how I liked a book or article. I sent my 100th note today. It is one of my favorite things. Next time you read something interesting, useful, or thought-provoking, why not tell the author?

    Watched Paul Sharits ‘experimental’ film Epileptic Seizure Comparison, using film of patients having seizures from medical films. It is AWFUL. I hate it. The epileptic is an 'object' here. The epileptic is an artistic device here, not a person. Stop showing it in film festivals.

  7. Do you ever wonder how historians conduct their research and what it's actually like to be in the archives, digging up materials? Follow who is currently researching for a project on the impact of the Civil Rights Act on psychiatric practices.

    A photograph of an indian woman smiling at the camera. next to her are some text that says: "There  be a greater awareness that a cure is not always the solution for deafness.

    Class doesn't exist in a vacuum: "By excluding disabled folks [from your activism], you’re fundamentally leaving out a group acutely affected by the capitalism that leftists claim to abhor." Am excellent essay by on labor activism.

    ‘I was holding my hands behind me at the time...because I suffered from polio when I was 6 years old.’ Fannie Lou Hamer, one of the most passionate & powerful voices of the civil rights movements was disabled & had a limp for most of her life.

    The black and white photo shows a seated woman in a floral print dress with a mike clipped to her dress, and short curly dark hair. She appears animated and passionate in her speech.

  18. Once I had a student send me a threatening email because I refused to grant him an undeserved grade change. He showed up at my department angrily "looking" for me, but I had seen him from a window and left, but not before telling the other instructors & department chair.
