Arielle Duhaime-Ross on Disaster-Prepping While Disabled

A conversation with the science journalist and former correspondent for Vice News Tonight about preparedness and disability
Audio edited & mixed by CJ Mattia

Last month’s newsletter covered how to prepare for a disaster, how this might look different if you’re navigating a chronic illness or disability, and how the culture of “prepping” came to be.

In today’s podcast, I talk more about these topics with Arielle Duhaime-Ross, a science journalist, podcast host and disabled person who thinks “survivalism” just might need a rebrand. Enjoy the show, and stay safe out there.

safety pin publishes about once a month, sharing written and audio work on the intersections of climate change, chronic illness, and disability justice. If you value this work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. It also helps to like our posts, and become a free subscriber :)

Unfortunately this app doesn’t allow sliding scale subscriptions, so if you’d like to contribute at a lower fee than $5 per month or $55 per year, you can make a one-time donation via venmo (@ fionalowenstein), or set up recurring monthly donations at Zelle (fionalowenstein@gmail.com). Funds go toward compensating our podcast producer, covering operational costs like Zoom and paid transcription services, and will hopefully allow me to eventually pay myself fairly for this work and bring in other talented trans and/or disabled collaborators.
