Good Morning Goldfish!

I'm a first time BADD boy. My contributions is at Lose the Mouse for BADD 2009! It's a short piece about keyboard accessibility, not brilliant - but I'm passionate about it.

Anonymous peter Beresford said ... (3:11 AM) : 

Dear Friend I just want to thank you for the great idea of Blogging against Disablism Day 2009. May 1st is also my Birthday. So it seems a great day to have it on. I write blogs for Community Care and the Guardian. I write as a mental health service user who is also keen to support and be involved in the broader disabled people's movement as well as the survivors movement. I think our greatest strength against the disablism and mentalism we face is to link up and gain in understanding of each other and our different experiences and the common discrimination we face. I think that there are lots of similarities as well as differences in the disablism facing survivors and other disabled people. I really value the idea of uniting our efforts, that's why i think this is a great idea. All the very best from peter (beresford)

OpenID troubleinchina said ... (5:00 AM) : 

Hi Goldfish. I hope you get lots of sleep!

I think my first post for BADD may qualify under "other". BADD: How The Non-Disabled Person Can Participate (from one non-disabled person to another). It's also cross-posted to my Dreamwidth Account, here. DW is a more accessible site than LJ, so it may be better to link the DW account.

Hi Goldfish,

I didn't sign up, but I did get a post written. Here's the link: http://growingupwithadisability.blogspot.com/2009/04/we-all-do-it.html

This falls neatly into the employment category.

My blog post, "Defining Disablism" is now live at www.prettysimple.co.uk/blog.

Could be appropriate for either the 'general thoughts' or 'definition and analysis' categories.

 

OpenID doctor-denmark said ... (9:38 AM) : 

My post is titled 'Blog against Disablism Day' and it can be found at http://doctor-denmark.livejournal.com/19375.html

It should probably go in the General Thoughts category.

Thanks so much for all the hard work you've put into this. It's appreciated.

As well as my original post, I'm compiling a list of my own personal favourites which I'll publish later, although I suspect I'm going to have to be more selective in my choices else I might end up just replicating this post...

My post is at http://angelahooker.com/blog/badd2009/the-best-laid-plans-and-blog-against-disablism-day-2009/

and it's one for personal journeys. Thanks so much for organizing this wonderful event.

 

Blogger yinyang said ... (6:22 AM) : 

I think my post would go in the category "General Thoughts on Disablism:"

Hi Goldfish,

This is awesome. I just found out about it about 20 minutes ago so I hope i can still post. I think this link should go in the general thoughts about disablism. http://myspellingsucks.com/?p=71

 

OpenID randombabble.com said ... (6:45 AM) : 

It's late. I was debating w/ myself, and it isn't what I set out to write. You don't have to post/link to it, but it is here if anyone else wants to read it.

And thanks for putting this together. More thanks than I can express.

Blogger Gordon said ... (9:51 AM) : 

My post for BADD can be found at:
A Life Apart and should go under personal journey or disabling identities...

 

Blogger Laura said ... (10:25 AM) : 

I finally found the right place to comment to. My theme is on the stereotype of success and disablism.

The URL is:
http://touchedbyanalien.blogspot.com/2009/05/blogging-against-disablism-2009.html

I'm not sure what category would be best.

Blogger amy said ... (10:36 AM) : 

i know i'm late, but here's my post -
http://craftydame.blogspot.com/2009/05/things-all-able-bodied-people-should.html

it doesn't fit anywhere specifically, so it's best just under general.

thank you very much!

I posted a quick review over at my blog.

 

Blogger Penelope said ... (12:14 PM) : 

I didn't officially sign up because I wasn't sure I could do it, but I managed it!

http://wheeledtraveler.blogspot.com/2009/05/badd-perils-of-looking-for-housing.html

I think it goes in "Other Access Issues" (it's about looking for accessible housing).

 

Anonymous Dark Angel said ... (12:22 PM) : 

Here are my BADD posts. I only submitted one blog, but I just started a second one.
http://thetwilightgarden.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/one-size-does-not-fit-all/
and http://innerdreams.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/not-your-world/

 

Anonymous Meowser said ... (12:24 PM) : 

I didn't sign up earlier either, and as it happens, I'm way late getting this in and if I can't be included I understand. (I did write it yesterday, for whatever it's worth.) It's called "Fat, Major Depression, Asperger’s: Where the Social Model Meets the Medical Model," and it could go either in the "Definition and Analysis of Disablism/ Ableism" or "Personal Journeys" section because it's a little of both. Thanks!

Anonymous Jemima Aslana said ... (12:37 PM) : 

I'm a little late, due to reasons of disability. I had an awful day, but now my post is up - I hope it's not that much too late.

Here it is:

http://jemimaaslana.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/blogging-against-disablism-i-started-feeling-safe/

It should probably go in Personal Journeys.

 

OpenID melloncollieclo said ... (1:02 PM) : 

http://anothernobody.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/blogging-against-disablism-invisible-disabilities/

Goes in 'personal experience'

 

OpenID anothernobody said ... (1:33 PM) : 

Another one, I'm on fire, a day late but never mind!

http://anothernobody.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/more-badd-rantings-anti-depressants/

catgeory -specific illnesses/issues - depression /anti depressants.

 

Blogger IrrationalPoint said ... (1:45 PM) : 

Amazing work!

I'm so sorry to be late. I have one that could go under "Language of Disabilism" or under "General":

Blogger Rob Wilson said ... (2:12 PM) : 

Diary,

I put up a "Take 5" post at What Sorts of People with 5 favourites from the day fairly early on ... though that day seems to keep on going and going and going

 

Blogger Mary said ... (2:27 PM) : 

Here's my favourite handful: http://batsgirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/badd-2009-roundup.html

 

Blogger Weasel said ... (3:23 PM) : 

Hey Goldfish, I know I'm running late, but if there's still time, I put a post up at http://www.thedevilsfeet.net/archive/blogging-against-disablism-2009/

Which I think either belongs in Relationships, Love and Sex or General Thoughts.

 

Blogger cascade said ... (4:00 PM) : 

I'm sorry I'm late but I had some problems with blogger & internet access.

http://kuparinen.blogspot.com/2009/05/badd-2009-making-discrimination-easy.html

I guess the category Other would be ok.

 

Blogger Alyssa said ... (5:37 PM) : 

Mine's late, but it's up:

http://kiriamaya.deninet.com/?p=25

I think it goes in General.

 

Blogger Peter Fremlin said ... (7:24 PM) : 

Dear Goldfish, what a wonderful collection! I'm afraid I'm late to the party, and it's more about disability than disablism. But yesterday I didn't even have a blog.

http://peter.fremlin.de/driftwood/2009/05/my-gorilla-is-quite-tame.htmlA note on the gorilla theory... (so maybe goes in General?)

 

Blogger Trinity said ... (11:55 PM) : 

Here's mine. On health care,

Blogger homepaddock said ... (12:34 AM) : 

Thank you for the huge effort you've put in to this. I've just posted an acknowledgement of that and noted how the internet has helped people with disabilities and their families communicate, share with and learn from eacth other: http://homepaddock.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/internet-opens-doors-on-disability/

Blogger yanub said ... (3:11 AM) : 

I finally got around to getting a post up. I suppose it goes with employment but it could be attitudes or politics, for that matter.

OpenID freya-bean said ... (3:44 AM) : 

Hi Goldfish!

I'm a little late in coming to the party... I forgot to link back to my post!

http://www.livejournal.com/editjournal.bml?journal=freya_bean&itemid=99993

It probably goes in general thoughts as I couldn't find a category for 'rambling' :p

 

OpenID freya-bean said ... (3:50 AM) : 

Oops sorry - gave you the wrong address for my blog:

http://freya-bean.livejournal.com/99993.html

please ignore/delete the previous one. apologies.

 

Anonymous Wench said ... (5:36 AM) : 

Finally did mine over at http://myownwench.livejournal.com/365280.html

If I had to take a guess at category, I would say "general thoughts".

Thanks for putting this together.

 

Anonymous Miss Waxie aka A Comic Life, Indeed said ... (8:58 AM) : 

Hi, hi..

...here is my tremendously late entry. Due in part to my illness, I fell down a flight of stairs the other day and was not really quite able to get to comic-bloging as I've have liked. ...Why do I feel like a kid with a note to get out of gym?

Anyway - it's either disablism and health care or personal journey...

Blogger lilwatchergirl said ... (10:05 AM) : 

Because I couldn't blog this year, I've written a very little round-up here.

Congrats on another amazing BADD. You should be very proud of it! :)

 

Blogger TraumaDoll said ... (3:06 PM) : 

I'm sorry I'm late, I didn't notice until the very end of Friday. I'm writing my entry now, here: www.paininthearticle.blogspot.com

 

Blogger Fleecy said ... (4:39 PM) : 

Hi. I hope my contribution is acceptable (both in terms of time and in quality)

it is here:

http://fleecyblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/blue-and-red-have-chat-about-disablism.htmlIt's about communication but it centers on Relationships, I guess.

 

Blogger One Sick Mother said ... (4:47 PM) : 

two things: My contribution was a bit late and I understand if I missd the cutoff

http://onesickmother.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/05/invisible-disabilities-depression.html

also I have selected you for the Premio Dardos award. Info below.

The Prémio Dardos is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for work that adds value to the Web.

Blogger Amber said ... (5:06 PM) : 

My contribution is late due to my schedule the past two days. Here is the link: http://www.diabola.org/2009/05/03/not-a-stereotype/

It goes best under personal journeys.

Thank you so much for doing this. Be well.

 

Blogger Lisa said ... (6:23 PM) : 

I haven't written an actual post myself yet, but I've picked out my favourite 2 posts here http://lisybabe.blogspot.com/2009/05/badd-09.html if you fancy adding it to to the reviews.

 

OpenID jenniferfitz said ... (6:41 PM) : 

Finally got one up:

http://greencastlehomeschool.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/us-v-us/

Belongs in "Definition and Analysis of Disablism/ Ableism" I expect.

Thanks for hosting the blogfest. Look forward to reading the other articles. Am about edit my post to add a link here, just realized I forgot to do that.

 

Blogger CathiefromCanada said ... (6:56 PM) : 

Here's mine:
http://cathiefromcanada.blogspot.com/2009/05/badd-day.html
Falls under "personal journeys" I think.

 

OpenID jenniferfitz said ... (8:21 PM) : 

And on the other blog: http://jenniferfitz.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/when-even-the-buildings-are-in-denial/

Falls in the 'Other Access Issues' category I think.

Thanks again for doing this!

Hey I tried posting this on Friday but it doesn't appear to have worked. Maybe I did it wrong.

Here is my contribution;

Blogger Gonzo said ... (4:44 AM) : 

Hi, my comment didn't show up, (or I can't find it).
It's also possible that I've posted it in the wrong thread by accident.

So here's my contribution:
http://gonzogalore.blogspot.com/2009/05/blogging-against-supremacist-attitudes.html

It probably fits best into the "general thoughts" category.
But I'd like to suggest a category called "humour", or "rants", (Maybe next year?) for bloggers like me, who faced with ignorance can only come up with snarky sarcasm. (Hopefully I'm not the only one! :S)

Thanks so much for your hard work! :)

 

Blogger Elizabeth McClung said ... (9:33 AM) : 

I was ill for a few days and have the post done now - it is here:
http://elizabethmcclung.blogspot.com/2009/05/blogging-against-disabilism-disabilism.html

and is about Disabilism within the disability community.

 

OpenID slewth said ... (10:52 AM) : 

Hi Goldfish - here's my submission -

http://slewth.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/web-development-and-aversive-disablism/

I think it's for the 'Definition and Analysis of Disablism/ Ableism' section.

Thanks so much!
