Recently watched crip camp, a documentary looking at the role of a summer camp for disabled youth in shaping disability activism and legislation in the US. Does anyone have any good recommendations on crip work/ disabled ppl caring for each other?

one of my favourite visual representations of my research area (social reproduction) is by See Red Women’s Workshop a collective formed in 1974 and which created art looking at a variety of different economic/ political/ racial/ and gendered issues. Poster circa 1975

I finished ‘wintering’ by Katherine may, about how different cultures deal with ‘winter/wintering’ & reflections on chronic illness/ autism & hard times. I really enjoyed it! I wondered if people had other recommendations for similar reads esp for those of us with SAD & struggling with winter!
