Blogging Against Disablism Day 2008

Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1st 2008Welcome to Blogging Against Disablism Day 2008!

Thanks very much to everyone who helped to spread the word, to those who have been blogging and commenting and to everyone who has come to read the contributions.

Because the archive (below) tends to get very large, this year, I asked other bloggers to link to posts of particular note at their own blogs in order to increase traffic (and to take some of the pressure of me compiling the archive at super-sonic speed).

Lady Bracknell has published three posts reviewing her favourites BADD posts here:
Favourites so far
Still reading: More BADD top picks and
And still they come: yet more BADD highlights

Other round-ups include
Urbania to Stoneheads:BADD: The best of...
Elaine Vignealt: The Bloggging Against Disablism Round-up
Disability Studies, Temple U: BADD, Skimmed and Overheard
This is My Blog: Blogs of Note

Cherylberyl: Some Meanderings About BADD & BADD 2008 Disaboom Directory
Lovely and Amazing: BADD Grand Rounds
Moving Right Along: b-b-b-b-b-b-BADD, BADD to the bonee

Both Seahorse and Rachcreative included some of their favourite blogs in their BADD entries
< href="http://beautyoffensive.blogspot.com/2008/05/badd-little-goes-long-way.html">here and here. I know I've seen other lists too, but someone will have to remind me where!

Please point out if I make any mistakes - and thanks very much to everyone who has so far.

Blogger Elizabeth McClung said ... (11:49 PM) : 

I am blogging against disablism and will have the post up by 11:30 pm Wednesday April 30th. I will say however that coming here at say, 3:00 and seeing, "Welcome to Blogging against disabilism" which I KNOW is on May 1st and since I have a VERY hard time keeping months much less days straight threw me into a panic.

 

Anonymous Kelly, Jenelle's Mommy said ... (11:59 PM) : 

My post is up at Jenelle's Journey. You can read it here:

http://jenellesjourney.blogspot.com/2008/05/blogging-against-disablism-day-2008.html

My post this year is about "Coming to terms with Normal", and would fit best into the following categories:

Parenting Issues
Language of Disablism
Personal Journeys

Thank you again for all your hard work in bringing this together!

 

OpenID missnomered said ... (12:19 AM) : 

I am done my post! (I did it a little early).

http://missnomered.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/blogging-against-disablism-day-pity-tubes-and-the-meaning-of-hope/

Put it under "general thoughts on disablism", I suppose.

Happy blogging against disablism day!

 

Blogger Ruth said ... (12:49 AM) : 

I have two posts:

Don’t Enable An Ableist
http://wheeliecatholic.blogspot.com/2008/04/dont-enable-ableistbadd-2008.html


Treating Ableists Under The Medical Model
http://wheeliecatholic.blogspot.com/2008/04/treating-ableists-under-medical-model.html

I think the first fits in under Definition & Analysis of Ableism and the second (which is humor) could go under General Thoughts on Disablism or Other.

Thanks!

 

Blogger seahorse said ... (1:05 AM) : 

Hi

I have this, on anger:

http://beautyoffensive.blogspot.com/2008/05/look-back-in-anger.html

General Thoughts, I think.

Another fantastic few days of reading lined up - looking forward to it.

Hi! Mine is up at Midlife and Treachery called "BADD Juju"

http://midlifeandtreachery.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/badd-juju-for-blogging-against-disablism-day/

It's a fluffy piece so General Thoughts On Disablism is probably the best category.

 

Anonymous Tera said ... (4:18 AM) : 

Hi!

I have 2.

The "proper" one is Ubisoft Pulls MindQuiz: Why are Some Gamers so Angry?" (Under The Language of Disablism).

And an older one, Hard Parts It's about disablism within the disability community, so could go under "Language," too.

 

Blogger Lady Bracknell said ... (4:30 AM) : 

Yes, I'm up at 4 am for the second day running. How pleased am I?

Be that as it may, here's mine: general thoughts on disablism, I reckon.

 

Anonymous Cheryl said ... (4:36 AM) : 

I've decided that I'd like to submit another one as well. I posted it a little over a month ago, although it was written in July.

Tiny Tims & Supercrips

http://www.disaboom.com/Blogs/cherylberyl/archive/2008/03/24/tiny-tims-amp-supercrips.aspx

it goes in lit, culture, media

I've got mine up, too, even though it's still April 30 here.

http://growingupwithadisability.blogspot.com/2008/04/mistaken-identity.html

It's called Mistaken Identity and it would fit under General Thoughts.

Hi! The entry is there and is a general thought about how people "learn" about disability and whether this affects their perceptions of other people!

I am not feeling too good and so it was short and to the point! Maybe somebody will read it and it will give them some food for thought one day!

Hi, here's my offering this year: http://sunnydreamer.net/aprjun2008/everyone_has_disability.shtml . It's title is "Everyone Has a Disability of Some Sort". And I believe it fits under General Thoughts or Definition of Disability.

I blogged for disablism today. Not sure the post meets the requirements for disablism. I wrote through the point of view of my 8 year old with Autism and physical disabilities.

Hi, I'm not sure where mine goes. My blog is Reimer Reason. It could either go under Person Journey's, General Thoughts or Parenting ...

You decide!

I have a late addition, which should probably go under General Thoughts.

This should probably go under literature and culture.

bad link for Chris's post (My Peggy Peg) under 'general thoughts'. Sorry...

I haven't finished mine yet. I am rubbish. I've been attempting to write it for about five hours now, but I am just not creative today. Which is irritating. Will you accept late entries? Maybe I'll be able to write in full sentences tomorrow...

 

Blogger Helen said ... (7:29 PM) : 

Hi, well done for doing this!

I've made a start, fwiw!! It's not exactly an intellectual, academic piece, but it may make someone think.

Cheers,

I've written something on my LiveJournal -

"Assumptions about disability, from outside and from within" - by Ang
http://pandorasblog.livejournal.com/247731.html

For the "General thoughts about disablism" section.


This whole thing is brilliant, btw - going to comment to as many as possible, and probably do some linking in my blogs tomorrow.

People are quick to see the outside but not the soul of the person, who can help them understand the world differently, and with beauty.

OpenID kethry said ... (7:41 PM) : 

if you do make a category for those who've summed up blog posts from BADD then here's mine - http://kethry.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/badd-the-best-of/ - no worries if not. :)

thankyou!!! xx

 

OpenID rachelcreative said ... (7:54 PM) : 

I think you might have missed mine as others left after me have been added. Not hassling - just worrying!

Here is again just in case - under General probably.

OpenID rjjago said ... (8:36 PM) : 

I have one post - maybe in the politics section. It's actually re-hashing an earlier post on the subject: http://rjjago.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/retarded/

 

Anonymous Emma said ... (8:38 PM) : 

http://wheelchairprincess.com/blog/2008/05/01/badd-2008-links-and-thoughts-and-such-like/ is my post and it's a "personal journey" as well as a collection of links - mostly to my own older posts but to a post on another persons blog too.

 

Blogger fluttertongue said ... (9:08 PM) : 

A late entry:
http://fluttertongue.blogspot.com/2008/05/badd.html

It's really Disablism and Religion but perhaps it could go into the culture section?

Thanks Goldfish. I'm really enjoying the other posts and I wish I was a little more eloquent today but the fog has hit the fan!

OpenID jayangel said ... (9:24 PM) : 

My post fits into the category "Definition and Analysis of Disablism/ Ableism", and is here: http://jayangel.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/blog-against-disablism/

 

Blogger Lisa said ... (9:25 PM) : 

http://lisybabe.blogspot.com/2008/05/disablism-vs-ableism.html

I'm not sure whether it'd be "Definition and Analysis of Disablism/ Ableism" or "The Language of Disablism"

 

Blogger An Unreliable Witness said ... (9:37 PM) : 

Dear Miss Esteemed Goldfish - I hope you are bearing up under the deluge. I would like to submit my entry under the 'general' category, because I have no idea what other category it could go in:

http://www.unreliablewitness.com/2008/05/01/sad-pathetic-charity-case/

And have a happy BADD day.

 

Blogger An Unreliable Witness said ... (9:38 PM) : 

Oh, that didn't work, did it? I think I might have to say that you'll find it here. Will that do?

OpenID soniakeys said ... (11:42 PM) : 

My post is up and is at http://soniakeys.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/disablism-day/ I guess it goes under "General Thoughts." It's not very deep.

Ok, as always, I'm the last to the ball, but I still want to dance!

I'm thinking this should be under Parenting (?)

Here is my submission! It reeks of cuteness and probably could be placed under Education or Activism...
