♿ Starting an ongoing thread for books I enjoy that include disability rep. I try to read #CripLit rep specifically by disabled authors. That info isn't always available though. But know that many of us are looking for it. Will update as able. QTing an old list to start. ♿
I'll try to include the rep as well for people who are interested. There are so many types of disabilities! If I miss something in a book, I apologize, sometimes I can't remember everything thanks to my spinal-fluid-squeezed brain. If you know of more good rep, feel free to add!

An evening of readings and dialogue among distinguished poets and young poets of tomorrow— a chorus of diverse voices exploring the transformative power of words at the intersection of disability and climate justice.
This event will include Closed Captioning in English, Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) in English, American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, and image descriptions.
In light of #AWP2020 and their sudden willingness of accommodate peoples' desire to telespeak, I'm sharing this piece @karriehiggins and I wrote a while back when they SCOFFED at such a request:

@karriehiggins Karrie has already tweeted about this issue on here, go read about it. I just wanted to point out how much it hurts to see this issue embraced now, when it was such a (ridiculous) hurdle then.
@karriehiggins When #disabled writers needed accessibility, we were shamed by #awp. I will never go back until major things change when it comes to AWP and #criplit and those of us who write it. @GeorgesDryad @SFdirewolf
