Here's my 2010 entry! Happy BADD!

imfunnytoo said...

oops, and post it under 'general'

Thanks!

Anonymous said...

http://samedifference1.com/2010/05/01/the-concept-of-normality/

This goes under language of disability. Thanks!

Jill said...

Probably under other isms as I liberally sprinkled them throughout this post. Linked to Wheelie Catholic and A Pretty Simple Blog too as I appreciated their '09 entries.

Traveling, so hotlinks not always hot from mobile. My apologies for the inconvenience.

At After Gadget, the title is "BADD: Q & A on Being an Assistance Dog Partner."

http://aftergadget.wordpress.com/2010/04/30/badd-qa-on-being-an-assistance-dog-partner/

I'm not really sure where it should go. It's mostly about comments and questions I get in relation to being a service dog partner which include a lot of ableist assumptions. I guess it could go under "other"? Otherwise maybe general or relationships or personal journey. (The blog itself is very relationship-focused, as being a SD partner is about that team relationship.) I don't know!

Meowser said...

http://fatfu.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/badd-2010-the-total-erasure-of-partial-disability/

Not sure which category would be appropriate. Employment, Definition and Analysis of Ablism/Disablism, General Thoughts on Disablism, or Personal Journeys all might be fits; your call.

It could fit in a lot of places, but I think Personal Journeys is best.

I guess it would fit best under the General category.

HI Goldfish! Here's my entry.

Also, I'm missing somehow from the sidebar list of bloggers... this is no biggie though.

thanks for t his.

My post is at:

http://diceytillerman.livejournal.com/29357.html

I make five points in it -- three about physical accessibility and two about conversational "accessibility" -- well, conversational things that are spoon-sucks for me. I think "other access issues" is the right category for it.

Jen said...

My post is up at
http://peoplearentbroken.blogspot.com/2010/04/is-there-disablism-in-dating.html
It fits best in the Relationships, Love, and Sex category.
Thanks

Here is mine: http://batsgirl.blogspot.com/2010/05/its-not-bridezilla-to-want-access.html

Title is "It's not Bridezilla to want access," I'm Mary from This Is My Blog, and category is either "Other Access Issues" or "Relationships, Love and Sex" (it's about trying to access the wedding industry as a disabled bride).

Dave Hingsburger said...

OK, it's up and ready, http://davehingsburger.blogspot.com/2010/05/baby-tio-blogging-against-disablism-and.html

I'm guessing either under parenting or under general issues, thanks for doing this again.

Sorry if this is a duplicate comment. My Internet connection was acting up when I tried to post my previous one. Anyway, I posted mine at http://astridvanwoerkom.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/i-am-whole-ableism-and-identity/. I think it belongs in the personal experiences category.

Hello,

There is now a post live @ Feminists with FSD.

http://feministswithfsd.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/badd-2k10-sexual-dysfunction-as-disability/

Hi,

Here's my post:

Blogging Against Disablism Day: Assumptions
http://multigenrefan.com/2010/05/01/blogging-against-disablism-day-assumptions/

I'm not sure what category this fits best under - perhaps General Thoughts on Disablism?

Kaitlyn said...

I don't have the spoons to read everything (I don't want to risk going into a spiral at the moment - finals and a paper yelling at me) at the moment, but I do want to add a hearty thank you to everyone brave enough to write, today and every day.

It makes me feel less alone with everything I have to deal with - I still remember the excitement on finding somebody's post describing a reaction to medication and it's like being a "fangirl" and finding another. "OMG, you like Bollywood too?" instead it's "OMG, you do that too with meds too?"

I have a very old post about me accepting spoon theory, much too old for today.

I do however, have two recent posts dealing with disablism.

From April 22, "Medication for Bipolar Disorder and TV Shows"
http://ohmonkeytrumpets.blogspot.com/2010/04/medication-for-bipolar-disorder-and-tv.html
Under Healthcare Issues?

From April 29, "Pajama Jeans and ableism"
http://ohmonkeytrumpets.blogspot.com/2010/04/pajama-jeans-and-ableism.html
Under Disablism in Literature, Culture and the Media or Other. (It's about, well, two pieces online reacting to something and how chock-ful-o-privilege and hatred they are._

Because of various issues related to my disability, I cannot sit down and write a post about Blogging Against Disablism Day or something in general, abstract. I cannot think properly due to pain and the side effects of medication. (Which makes that paper even harder!)

But I do want to say a general thank you to every one who has posted here - even if I shy away in fear and never touch them, I know these posts mean so much to people dealing with disablism in addition to the disability.

I am putting a link up at my two blogs.

Cara Liebowitz said...

Here's mine! You can put it under General, or Other, or maybe even Disability in Literature, etc. I don't know. Put it where you think it fits best. And forgive the weird font/formatting things going on with my post - I copied/pasted pretty much the whole thing from MS Word and it screwed with the formatting.

I'm surprised that there isn't an entry under "health issues" that runs something like "stop teachers from practicing medicine without a license" - about stopping school employees from telling parents that they MUST put their kids on drugs.

i think i would put it under general? or relationships?

suthunfox said...

Here's my post. I think it could go under Personal Journeys, although it could go under general thoughts as well. Your call as to which it fits better.

Emma said...

Thanks for doing this Goldfish! I think my post is probably "personal journey" although I did briefly consider general it's more personal to me I think.

And I really wish I could have thought of a better title for it!

My post is here:

It goes into the "Disablism Interacting with Other 'Isms'" category.

Here's mine I guess it goes under 'Access' but if you think it's more appropriate elsewhere feel free:

Arrrgh where did the General Thoughts category go?!?!!

If it doesn't exist anymore please put mine in Other. If it does exist please ignore this message. But it seemed to exist before and it doesn't now and that is alarming.

T clarify, my previous post should be under "Personal journeys". This was going to be a quick anecdote than became another post:

This one goes under General.

Penny L. Richards said...

here is my blog entry:

I thought it would fit best under relationships, but if that category is really more about romantic relationships, feel free to file it wherever you deem fit.

Thanks for putting this page together. Happy BADD!

You may not wish to publish my post. I thought the topic was "About Disability" rather than "Against Disablism". My post could be, possibly, considered an example of disablism. I am not certain. I am writing another post for next week "Against Disablism". Thank you for looking.

I'm not sure which category it goes into; the general thrust of the post is General Thoughts on Disableism, I think, but there's a lengthy personal anecdote as part of it so I don't know if it should possibly be in Personal Journeys.

Sorry for the lateness!

It'll come under "access issues".

codeman38 said...

@Amanda: The General Thoughts is in a second column on the right. I didn't notice it either on my iPod at first, to be honest. I think this two-column layout is bad for accessibility for a number of reasons.

http://surelock.tumblr.com/post/566169286/my-heart-and-disability

I think Personal Journeys fits this best.

Jemima Aslana said...

Hey. A day late, just like last year. This year it was because I spent the day itself having fun, though. YAY!

Two posts for the collection this time. Both on language.

The first is a take-down of an all too common defense used when I called someone on their ableism: http://jemimaaslana.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/badd-pt-1-whats-wrong-with-this-sentence/

The second is a hopefully coherent discussion of appropriation of labels and descriptors: http://jemimaaslana.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/badd-pt-2-to-have-or-not-to-have/

I hope I've made some sense.

Unless you have a 'Burn it down!' section?

I'm so late ... but here I am.

Probably the category is "other". It's a post by a TAB who has just started to think about accessibility and boating ... without much result yet.

SO grateful you're doing this, and so glad to read everyone's amazing posts.

Hey Goldfish? I noticed that a link to my post didn't make it up into your post.

I'll give it to you again - the post is 'Getting it Right - Blogging Against Disableism Day', it probably belongs in the general category, and the link is http://brilliantmindbrokenbody.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/getting-it-right-blogging-against-disableism-day/

lefty_shorter said...

You know, I'm totally glad that somebody understands, because I was born with one arm a full centimetre shorter than the other and I feel like nobody takes me seriously!

I am totally discriminated against because nobody ever acknowledges the impact to my life this has.

Everytime somebody rolls their eyes or hmmphs when I start talking about it, I feel liek they're silencing me, not respecting me as a person with special requirements than need to be respected.

I hope that one day that bitch Amanda Palmer knows what it's like to feel that kind of marginalization I've been through! Her and her privileged jew boyfriend.

If it wasn't for my different length arms holding me back, I would so march up to them both and say "How Dare you not take our lives seriously! We are human beings!"

Then I'd kick that fat piano slut down the stairs.

They just don't respect us at all.

Fucking ABLE-FASCISTS!
