Citing Bar Event #5 – compost yo! neuro-emergent (Excerpt from Liya Yu, 2022, Vulnerable Minds: The Neuropolitics of Divided Societies, XXVI) Burden on minorities’ shoulders to initiate these conversations, history mimicking itself in this cruel intimacy between dehumanizer and dehumanized, but also with a glimmer of hope that new insights and tools are available to the dehumanized to turn to the tables around in their favor.

Holly Pester This essay is the product of thinking, researching and singing lullabies. As a practitioner-researcher in Hubbub, Holly Pester led a series of workshops that experimentally and collaboratively explored lullabies through conversation and improvised song.

This compendium takes up a series of concepts as a means to think them newly from the contemporary time and place of “the bed,” where the bed is a temporal and geographical (non)location central to sick and disabled queer (SDQ) bodies and life.

We are compelled by what we might name as the work of queering and the work...
