The National Disability Theatre Handbook
The National Disability Theatre Handbook is an exceptional resource that brings together big ideas and practical resources for the world of disability theatre. Having contributed to its content and audio version, I can attest to its profound impact.
Enshittification
HERE IS HOW platforms die: First, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.
Streaming Platforms Discourse
Calling Up Justice has been having an energetic conversation about streaming platforms and audience options. Several hundred thousand folks are participating in this conversation. After hearing that studios are continuing to lock away content and raise prices, many folks are ready to cancel their accounts. Some have already left. The conversation continues. We promise to post additional videos here.

Vibes N Delights
Calling up Justice is a fan of advice channels but so often they can be toxic. We love Frinny’s channels and enjoy her reading of AITA type material from her audience and reddit.

Artificial Intelligence Experiments
Welcome to Calling Up Justice Artificial Intelligence Experiments! We started tinkering with AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL·E, and MidJourney as soon as they hit the scene. We hopped onto the DAIR Mastodon server and dug into papers like “Stochastic Parrots” to learn from experts on AI Ethics. Once we spotted the unfairness baked into this tech, we knew it would soon be everywhere. So we crafted a video game that takes a stand against platforms taking from visual artists. Yep, we’re part of the Archive of Our Own fanfic crowd, and we’re sure that our data was probably scrubbed. To a certain extent we think of these platform as partially ours since they wouldn’t exists without the data they got from us. Check out our fanfic collections and visual art we’ve generated. We’re experimenting with AI to fight bias and make things more accessible. Sure, we’re a bit skeptical, but we’re all about understanding these tools and having some real influence. Our focus? Using them to push for disability and racial justice in our AI experiments and projects. Our Accessible Innovation project is producing tangible results.
