Blogging Against Disablism Day 2013

Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1st 2013Welcome to Blogging Against Disablism Day 2013!

Thanks very much to everyone who helped to spread the word and to everyone who is blogging against disablism, ableism and disability discrimination.

If you have a post for Blogging Against Disablism, please leave a comment including the URL (web address) of your post and the catergory your post fits best.

We'll be updating this post throughout the day to create an archive of all the posts. We'll also try to post links to every blog using the Twitter stream @BADDtweets and these will automatically be posted onto our Facebook Page.

As with the last few years, Stephen and I are sharing the work, but even with two people, there are bound to be typos, so please be patient and let us know if you notice any mistakes.

In Memory of Elizabeth McClung (1970 - 2013)

Today, we heard of the death of disability blogger and Blogging Against Disablism Day contributor Elizabeth McClung. She wrote so passionately and bravely about disability that it seems appropriate to dedicate this year's BADD to her memory. There are over a thousand posts on her blog Screw Bronze, but here are her old BADD posts, as samples of her work:

I have been a sadly deficient blogger over the past year and have no juice for a new post for your wonderful event. I humbly offer a succinct previous post from my heart, probably best in personal journys? I will set up a link to your blog post tomorrow on twitter, my blog and Facebook if that's okay? Here is my link....

Thanks for all you do Goldie!

Cara Liebowitz said...

In a way, I find it almost sad that I was able to participate this year, because I really don't have time, but I've been through such horrible ableism lately that I had to get it out. Note the new blog name as well, I used to be Butterfly Dreams and before that Candidly Crippled.

A discussion on why Disability campaigning is political but not about politics... And why thinking disability campaigning is not something we should do because of its political nature is disablist...

Thanks Dxxx

I, Chris Hofstader, aka Gonz Blinko, have written two articles for Blog Against Disablism Day. One is already up at hofstader.com/radd and the other will appear sometime today on Skepchicks.com, a site about scientific and social skepticism, atheism, feminism, art, humanism and other really great stuff unrelated to disability.

I've written this satirical post about trigger warnings and how people react to mental illness - it probably fits best in Other Access Issues.

You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire thing with no need side effect , folks can take a

Feeding tubes and weird ideas

http://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2013/05/02/feeding-tubes-and-weird-ideas/

Goes in healthcare issues. Because it's largely about them trying to let me die rather than give me a feeding tube. Yay for death by medical neglect. I got the feeding tube but only after lots of people from the Internet called the hospital in protest.

Amanda said...

Oh and I only wish that trying to pressure someone into not getting a feeding tube was considered a hate crime. Because it damn well ought to be.

I'm not sure where my post would go, it's about special diets as an accessibility issue, but there doesn't seem to be a section about accessibility in general(?).

And yes, it's only in Finnish. I'm sorry that besides being two days late I still don't have a translation. It translates okay with Google translate, though Google translate has a bad habit of occasionally turning a positive sentence negative or vice versa.
