Another essential read -- and I'm telling Ragged Edge readers so in our World-o-Blogs post today! I'll be referring people to this one for a long time. Thanks for setting up the BADD thing -- it's been a great way to build the disability blogging community!

Dear Goldfish
This magnificent achievement, set up and set in motion by you, and filled out by the many heartfelt blogs, should be published, should have a permanent and lasting identity. Maintaining our anonymity, in the outer world as well as the blogosphere, would be possible.
It is such a magnificent re-source, for 'us' and 'them' it requires a permanent printed identity, on shelves both private and public.
Do any bloggers agree with this ?
How many bloggers have access to publishing houses? or contacts? or bottomless pits of money to do it themselves ? I am imagining a joint venture by all participating bloggers, owned by all participating bloggers.
What do you think Goldfish ? This is not a suggestion that you do it !!
This suggestion, like all my dreams, is easy sat in bed blogging on the laptop. The ideas are not impaired, just the energy to do something about it.
Exceptionally well done Goldfish.

HI Not sure my comments got to you. Thanks for your promotion of BLOGGING AGAINST DISABLISM! Your inspiring words are a welcome to my day. I hope is some small way I too can be an inspiration to others with disabilities. Thanks, Angelica

I know from reading your thoughts on ouch that we have a similar take on illness but this post really compounds that. What a great read and thanks for BADD. (oh I cross post to livejournal which is what I signed up to BADD for, but this is my diary link) x

Arrg - typed in a whole comment then leant on the wrong bloody key and deleted the lot!!!

Anyway, great peice!!

Am struggling a bit to write my own entry, fatigue and pain issues getting in the way. Maybe next year it should be over a week rather than just a day, reality of life with a disability being that sometimes things take longer and a day is rather a short window of time. The acronym wouldn't be as good, unfortunately - BADW isn't as snappy as BADD - but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find a week more manageable.

Ooh, also, really excited to see my blog on your blogroll under Disabled Writers - you've made my day!

I agree to Pete. I keep browsing through all kind of blogs. It was a wonderful idea and it is just great to see how well it has worked out, isn't it?

"One close friend actually said, “I don’t think of you as disabled, because you are more intelligent that most normal people.”"

Yes, what is normal, anyway? Standards and labels are...well, just standards and labels. No one is normal. It is a general, silly, ignorant term that has come to classify all those who fit into a homogenous jig-saw puzzle. I'd rather be a puzzle piece that doesn't fit in. And I am glad I am one of those who do not.

Thanks for organizing this, Goldfish!

Thanks for that as per usual wonderful piece Goldfish. No note your usual wonderful piece! You have surpassed yourself here. And a big thank you for getting this whole thing on the road!

I've just found your blog, I found myself nodding so often at what you say.

I didn't realise that there was a blogging against disablism day or I would have offered to write something or get involved.

Now I'll have to read all your blog... That's no hardship though you write very well.
