Today (Nov 19) is the last day of a free stream of Sins Invalid's 2024 performance of Stages of Grief: Crip Hearts on Fire. I really wanted to share this especially as I wrestle with my own grief and rage as a disabled person living in 2025.
You can register online from their website. Available (also with captions) in English, ASL, and Spanish with audio descriptions also available in each language. The runtime is about 1 hour 45 mins depending on the version you wish to watch.
Directly from Sins Invalid:
We are honored to invite you to the virtual release of Stages of Grief: Crip Hearts on Fire, Sins Invalid’s 2024 live performance, marking 18 years of crip brilliance on stage.
Through scenes of crip rage, joy, and grief, our performers offer testimony to survival, love, and collective power in a world on fire. From climate chaos to systemic ableism, from our sacred grief to our revolutionary visions of liberation, this performance is both an offering and a call to action.
The performance features pieces by: Tré Vasquez, María Palacios, Nomy Lamm, Germán Parodi, Lateef McLeod and Antoine Hunter and Urban Jazz Dance Company.
This release is dedicated to the memory of our beloved Patty Berne, co-founder of Sins Invalid, visionary artist, and architect of Disability Justice, whose brilliance continues to guide us towards access, interdependence, and collective liberation.
To access both streaming and Q&A, please register through the links in our website and Instagram bio.

“We are beautiful and necessary in all our cripness, in all our color, in our queerness, in our gender nonconformity and transness. We are necessary just as we are.”

“This is the work of crippled storytelling: in slowness and care, we learn to love ourselves outside of oppressive frameworks.”

“Anyone who has had to swallow parts of themselves knows how this causes bodymind wreckage, how it causes loss, and how it distances us from ourselves.”

Patty Berne died 😭😭😭
They developed the 10 principles of the disability justice movement. This is such a massive loss for the community.
“Grounded in the fifth principle of Disability Justice, wholeness advocates that disabled bodyminds are not defective, incomplete, or lacking, as the medical model of disability would have us believe. This principle unsettles how we define wholeness from ableist and capitalist synonyms like productivity and success and instead asks us to crip, queer, and decolonize wholeness.”
