🐝 Hive Five 61 – Remember the Pac-Man rule

Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

I hope you and yours are doing okay. This weekend was the 30th Anniversary of the disability civil rights protest, where activists lobbied for the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act. They abandoned wheelchairs, and other mobility aids for the "Capitol Crawl" up the building steps.

The documentary Crip Camp, on Netflix, offers a glimpse into the history of the disability rights movement.

Let's take this week by swarm!
