Description
Pigeonhole challenges the stereotypes that disabled people are all white, straight, middle class people in search of a cure for their bodies and minds the way mainstream media would make it seem. Made by disability community, and centering disabled audiences, Pigeonhole interrogates the assumptions and biases we hold about disability and embraces all parts of people's identities. We uplift disability culture, celebrate identity, and break out of the narrow pigeonholes people attempt to stuff us in. All episodes have downloadable and text transcripts at WhoAmIToStopIt.com.

Listen to this post: This month’s episode is another documentary film in audio form including the Audio Description. In anticipation of the premiere of Jenni Funk’s “Stinky Chicken Dog 2” on December 15th, here is the original “Stinky Chicken Dog.” She didn’t add a “1” in the title because we didn’t expect to make more […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.] This is an encore presentation of a 2017 interview with Jane Vogel of Advance Gender Equity in the Arts (AGE) and filmmaker Gigi Williams. Advancing equity is not the same as increasing diversity. I’ve talked to people who genuinely celebrate being […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.] When you think about accessible housing, what comes to mind first? For many people, it’s structural pieces like ramps in place of stairs, grab bars in the bathroom, lower counters and cupboards, and other kinds of physical designs. I’ll ask you […]
Listen to this post: (Podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.) Happy May Day, everyone. Don’t forget: President Eisenhower attempted to turn this labor organizing day into a national “Loyalty Day” celebration where people were supposed to reaffirm their love for and loyalty to the U.S. and its “heritage of freedoms.” Odd choice […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.] Here’s an audio-only version of my short documentary “In My Home.” This was made for the Free Our People Film Contest and Festival in 2017, and it continues to be a reminder of the anti-institutionalization movement that’s so important for disability […]

Listen to this post: (Podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.) A few years ago, I went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. Here’s a yellow boxfish I found there in a temporary display. I just know this one is playing hide and seek with me. But then? After the boxfish? I […]
Listen to this post. (The podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.) I love to eat and hate to cook. That about sums up my life. Oh, that and I went to New York last week, my first trip out of the city where I live in three-and-a-half years. Why yes, I did […]
Listen to this post (podcast is at the bottom of the post): Did you ever meet that person where you’re like, oh, yes, you. Yep. You. The person where you have some important stuff in common or share political views or a love of neat sounds or they will indulge your cat obsession while not […]
Listen to this post (the podcast is at the bottom): I found an old, scrappy video I made of Lavaun a decade ago. She was developing a project to do stories about colors. As an artist with low vision, she never stopped wondering about the best ways to bring a color description to life so […]
Listen to this post. (The podcast is at the bottom of the post.) I found a cute meme that has screenshots from a movie in which these two young white people are having a conversation on a sunny day outside by some very tall grass. The guy looks either puzzled or flirtatious, then the girl […]
Listen to this post: (The podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.) Jenni Funk and I collaborated on Stinky Chicken Dog 2 in 2018. The film got an enthusiastic reception at our Portland premiere and at Superfest a few years ago. It’s long past time I took down the password to bring this […]
Listen to this post (podcast is at the bottom of the post): It’s one thing to keep a secret when you feel like you’d be ashamed for anyone else to know this thing about you. But sometimes you keep a story to yourself because you figure no one will get it. Or that they might […]
Listen to this post: (podcast audio at the bottom of the page) A love letter to Portland singalong band The Low Bar Chorale and band leader Ben Landsverk. Took nearly a year to write. I’m not sure what time is anymore anyway. Downloadable transcript for Pigeonhole Podcast Episode 40
Listen to this post: I can’t name stuff! I think back with a big old cringe to some projects and films I’ve tried to name, and I’m so grateful to amazing people like my co-director Cynthia Lopez for intervening when a name was really bad. But right now, I’m so excited to share something that’s […]
Listen to this post: (podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.) Lately, there’s a growing push to make accessibility more creative, and I think it’s just rad! In fact, some of the major players at FWD-Doc (Documentary Filmmakers with Disabilities) are presenting at this year’s SXSW a panel called Creativity Enhanced: Documentary Tools […]
Listen to this post: Built-in accessibility in mainstream software is amazing. It’s nice to not have to purchase new apps or software if you don’t think you’re going to be using the feature long term. I’m writing this right now with Microsoft Word’s dictate feature! But there’s a darker side to this, or rather, Microsoft […]
Listen to this post: Today, a couple of audio described super short films I made in summer 2020 at Sunflower Farm. I’ve been volunteering there since shortly after the pandemic was declared. All of the organic produce and eggs get donated to food pantries and shelters, and the farm operates year-round on a fully-volunteer basis. […]
