"So another way to think about it is that disability nightlife has been around forever and tricky to tap into. But we have traces." This made me want more—oral histories, a book, and, especially now and even though I'm usually in bed by 9pm these days, an invite to that next party. Perhaps a revival of the queer tea party but for disabled folk?
I moved out of NYC almost 2 years ago and have been loving being in bed early most nights, so I'm with you on craving the tea dance timing. The tea dance always feels so connected to access in several ways to me. And I'm also wanting the histories, book, and more parties! Hoping 2025 brings lots of that our ways.
Coming from the States, I've been amazed to find how many club nights there are for learning disabled and autistic adults in London. Off the top of my head there's Bubble Club, Club Soda/SoDaDa, Tramtastic, Butterfly Bloom’s Club 82, and Beautiful Octopus Club... probably more out there. And that's just London.

Can y'all think of any examples in the U.S.?
