Comments on "Blogging Against Disablism Day 2007"

 

Blogger Lady Bracknell said ... (11:47 PM) : 

Here's mine.

It's about the disablist way in which we're represented in the media, so I suspect that means it falls into the "other" category.

 

Blogger The Goldfish said ... (12:01 AM) : 

Thank you, your ladyship. I've added media to the category about literature and culture.

I have a feeling this day is going to involve some degree of improvisation...

 

Blogger mike said ... (12:05 AM) : 

And here's mine. Please file it under Parenting Issues.

All the best for a successful day!

 

Blogger Katie said ... (12:18 AM) : 

Evening. Mine's here: http://everyoneelsehasablog.blogspot.com/

For some reason I am having problems linking to individual posts tonight. Sorry.

Please file under 'employment'.

 

Anonymous Maman Poulet said ... (12:58 AM) : 

here you go - it's disability and politics (or the lack of them or something...)

Thanks for getting it all together!! I'm looking forward to reading all the entries!

Filed under "Other", methinks :-)

Thanks.

I'm in California, so it's technically still April here, but if I wait for the dateline to cross me I'll miss some of the fun, eh? Here's my link:
http://disstud.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-memory-of-george-everitt-green-1880.html

And I suspect it should go under "interaction with other -isms," but if you add a history section it would go best there.

I've seen some of the early entries already--this is going to be another spectacular event! Thank you!

General thoughts on Disabilism is my category this year!

I'm loving reading these already.

Blogger Puglet said ... (5:09 AM) : 

Here's mine http://pugletponderings.blogspot.com/2007/05/i-am.html

I guess it's personal. it's how I choose or refuse to discriminate and define myself.

 

Blogger Sam I Am said ... (5:10 AM) : 

Mine's done. Here is my link:
http://mysamiam.blogspot.com/2007/04/on-friendsthe-discrimination-that.html

Category would be family and friends, but it is about siblings who face discrimination.

Can't wait to read everyones.

Thanks!

 

Blogger David said ... (5:42 AM) : 

Here's my post.
It's called Sandbox Lessons, and looks at the origins of ableism. It would go in the Analysis of Disablism category.
Thanks so much, Goldfish. I'm really looking forward to reading the posts.

 

Blogger Shannon said ... (5:50 AM) : 

The link to mine is here: http://gabis-world.blogspot.com/2007/05/blogging-against-disablism-day.html

Hi Goldfish, mine can go under Personal Journeys. It's about the anticipation of a disablist response to being visibly 'impaired' - my first experience of using four wheels to get around.

Anonymous JBVisions said ... (10:28 AM) : 

My post actually hit the blog somewhat earlier than expected due to something that happened over the weekend and completely changed my mind as to what I would write about.

Called Open letter to Richard Benyon MP I guess it needs to go in the Other Access Issues.

As you will see from the update in the comments, I suspect this is going to be an ongoing blog that may run for some time. Annoyed? Me?....... never. :-)

Here's my post, such as it is, http://www.doitmyselfblog.com/2007/blogging-for-inclusion/. Probably fits under the Employment category.

Either under "literature and arts" or "parenting"--probably the former, though I'll let you put it wherever you think it fits best.

:)

 

Blogger Smiffy said ... (1:28 PM) : 

Here's one about food and disablism. I do wonder exactly where it belongs - either in Definition and Analysis or possibly Impairment-Specific. (Or just plain "Other"). Bedtime now here in Oz - keep up the posts guys!

It touches on several categories, I think, including Employment, General Thoughts, Access, [Local] Politics, and Personal Journeys. (Nothing is ever simple with me. Nothing.)

Of the categories already listed, it might best fit 'Personal Journeys', but I'm not sure. It's about individuality, or trying to meet standards set by others.

Well done and thanks for all your hard work

Blogger Timbo said ... (11:24 PM) : 

Here is our contribution.

We're not 100% sure what category it fits in; either 'Definitions of Disability', or 'Personal Journeys', but it kind of fits in both, so I'll leave the final categorizing to you.

If you want to put it in 'Other' that's fine by me.

After all, Timboblog is uncategorized at the moment so that would probably be rather apt.

 

Anonymous kethry said ... (11:56 PM) : 

rather late, just slipping under the deadline.. here's mine. Its entitled ~ Prejudice from "your own kind" ~ and the link can be found below. I'm kinda stumped about the category, i think the best one is "disablism interacting with other isms" but feel free to move if you feel another category would be more appropriate.
