One of my favorite creative collabs yet. My life is better being in community with my fellow disabled comrades and humans I admire and seriously love and respect. A love that grows stronger each day.

We have been waiting for you. This is a collection of ‘telegrams’ by disabled oracles to the world. Disabled people know what it means to be vulnerable and interdependent. We are modern-day oracles. It's time people listened to us. Origins: The Disabled Oracle Society began in 2020 in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic when sick and disabled people sounded the alarm about the importance of wearing masks, the value of accessibility, and the interdependence of all communities. It became very clear who was considered disposable and who was not as institutions and governments developed medical triage guidelines. The casual ableism, racism, and ageism went unchecked in debates around restarting the economy with the terms such as "acceptable losses' and high risk' as if those lives weren't worth living or saving.
