Blogging Against Disablism Day 2012

Blogging Against Disablism Day, May 1st 2012Welcome to Blogging Against Disablism Day 2012!

Thanks very much to everyone who helped to spread the word and to everyone who blogged 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 best belongs to.

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

The amazing Stephen has helped me this year, but even with two people, there are bound to be typos, so please be patient and let us know if you notice any mistakes.

If you happen to have a round-up post of your favourite blogs from the day, please let us know.  Claire from OT on Wheels put together Archives of tweets for the hashtags #BADD12 / #BADD / #BADD2012  whilst @spiegelmama created a Storify of the day

Hi Goldfish.

Not sure of a category. Other?

BADD 2012: Driven Round The Bend By Motability Myths

Andrea S. said...

I just now put mine up!

My blog site is called "We Can Do" at http://wecando.wordpress.com

My blog post is entitled "Why Fight Disablism? Blogging against Disablism Day 2012" at http://wecando.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/why-fight-disablism/. The closest fit category that you have would seem to be, "General Thoughts on Disablism"

BUT, if you decide to create a category for Disablism in a Global Context (or something similar), then my post could also fit in there because I have loads of links to various reports on the situation of people with disabilities in both developed and developing countries around the world. Up to you, it's your event!

Sean said...

I've put my post up:
Objecting to Walking is Discrimination. This would fit in the "Disability Specific" category as per past years, or "General thoughts on disablism"

Thanks for the great work.

Hi Goldfish,

For your consideration in the Access Issues category :

If you build it, they will come: making co-working spaces accessible

Thanks !

My post (2) are probably very very rambling but we have endured discrimination and the like over many years, it took along time to discover that many other injured people are heavily discriminated against seemingly on the pretext of it not being discrimination because its all for their or the greater good.
On the positive side years of heavy and at times very scary discrimination have had very positive effects, we are very poor, in monetary terms but have learned many valuable lessons and while we probably should be a s miserable as Sin for all we have been through are perversely not I guess the lesson is Discrimination of any form, like War achieves nothing for anybody.

I posted on my Tenerife destination blog about BADD, the need for awareness and some of the facilities available for those with reduced mobility travelling to Tenerife.

Not sure of the category- it's about disablism and equality- and about my own privilege and awareness of the wider challenges faced by people in the community.

Hope you can include it.

I've written! http://wp.me/p19r05-23

The title of the piece is "All Too Familiar", and it's about the assumptions our families and carers make about our disabilities and how that can hurt. I'm not sure where it would fit, but hopefully that summary will make it obvious to you where in your categories it should go.

http://arewomenhuman.me/2012/05/01/it-gets-inside-our-heads/

This probably either general thoughts or personal journey. It includes an amount of biography but is about internalised disablism and what it does to all of us.

I wrote one on general ableism (http://thoughts-of-nothing.tumblr.com/post/22192050450/blogging-against-disablism-day) and, by a friend's request, a personal journey (http://thoughts-of-nothing.tumblr.com/post/22195680351/by-request-living-with-chronic-back-pain) about going to university with chronic pain.

I have a fairly new blog, started since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. It's called What's Shaking? (though there's another blog by that title). Address is vbemiw.blogspot.com

Most of my blog falls under the heading of general thoughts about disability, focused on Parkinson's, but also mental illness, plus good stuff like cats.

This is about travel in specifics but I meant it more as a commentary about disablism and my current apathy so it's probably general unless things can be in two categories.

I wrote a thing on my LiveJournal about attitudes I've encountered to visible self-harm: http://frith-in-thorns.livejournal.com/54544.html

I'm not quite sure which category it goes into. Maybe the prejudice one?

Here is my post "I've never met anybody who wasn't important before." It's not very good and I think it should go in the general category. It's also a bit late. But on the plus side, Doctor Who references!http://sanabituranima.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/badd-2012-ive-never-met-anybody-who-wasnt-important-before/

Hi, just got mine up. "No Crips Allowed" http://gimptude.com/2012/05/01/no-crips-allowed-blogging-against-disableism-day/

I believe it would fit best in Access Issues.

Here is mine:

Why 'Wingnut' Is a Poor Word Choice

(It's about language use in political discussions, so it could fit under either Language or Politics.)

Hi, I'm late I know, but I thought I'd try anyways to give you my info.

My blog is called ruled by paws (http://ruledbypaws.blogspot.ca)
My entry is called The Questions (http://ruledbypaws.blogspot.ca/2012/05/questions.html)

I will ask my husband to help me post the BADD badge tomorrow if that is okay. We just recently got a Mac and I am still learning how to do some things with the voice software.

Andrea said...

It's still May 1st in Vancouver... I've made a new post on AthletesFirst - a blog about disability sport - as part of Blogging Against Disablism Day 2012. Fantastic idea and I can't wait to read all 111 blogs (and counting)... that's my project for May 2nd :)

http://athletesfirst.ca/2012/05/01/blogging-against-disablism-day-2012/

(category? sport?)

Not sure of category: Access Needs, probably. Is there a "My World Is Not Your World" category? :)

Dear Goldfish! A new post for #BADD12, sorry it's belated.

The post is entitled: The sharp edge of Technology Enhanced Learning: Science and Technology and Disability Studies

http://hern.org.uk/blog/2012/05/at-the-sharp-edge-of-technology-enhanced-learning-science-and-technology-and-critical-disability-studies/

This should probably go in the Accessibility section?

Thanks so much!

Penny L. Richards said...

Late here too--but I wouldn't want DSTU to drop the ball after six straight years of joining BADD! Here's my post, for the History section I think:

Also a bit late, sorry about that, but I thought you might be interested in this blog post from the charity I work for:

http://blog.fixmytransport.com/2012/05/02/disability-and-me-1/

I think it comes under Other Access Issues!

For some reason the link to mine isn't working?

Can we replace it with this one which seems to be working?

This is a good and interesting post about Blogging Against Disablism Day. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work

I'm way late here, but since I've participated in BADD in the past, you may find this post I did "The Path of the Disabled Man" http://www.nickscrusade.org/the-path-of-the-disabled-man/
fitting under the category of sex and relationships

I've never written about gender before. This is an attempt to convey something of the disabled male's lived experience, and I hope it works.
