The DISC website was a MITH Fellowship project of Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, and was an outgrowth of her early work, begun in the mid-1990's, attempting to establish disability studies as a legitimate academic field of study. The DISC site was an international, interdisciplinary, user-generated, digital forum providing support, collegial networks, and information that sustains a disability studies academic community and promotes disability studies in a humanities focus.

Really proud of the work that I did with my colleagues at @documentnow. More proud of the new directions the work is going. In our current uncertain sociopolitical moment @DocNow continues to be vitally important to creating new ethical ways to archive social media.

The poems, edited for a never-realized posthumous publication, were recovered from the laptop of Deena Larsen at @UMD_MITH by @UMDEnglish Professor Matthew Kirschenbaum. The @internetarchive (fittingly in Dickey’s home city of San Francisco) finally offers us a platform for them.
