Normal Is Overrated » Of privilege and auditory processing
http://aut.zone38.net/2010/05/01/of-privilege-and-auditory-processing
Musings and meanderings on the autistic spectrum. May 1, 2010. Of privilege and auditory processing. Today is Blogging Against Disablism Day. And for today, I wanted to write about a sort of ableism (as we call it here in North America) that’s rather subtle and largely unconscious, but no less problematic. That’s so good, I don’t think I could ever manage to outdo it. (And besides, I contributed a couple items to it myself! I wish I could provide an outright. But a curse when I’m asked to play on a...

First BJP piece done! - fabric journals
http://fabric-journals.livejournal.com/7998.html
Pages made of fabric, fiber and felt. First BJP piece done! I proudly present to you January, my first Bead Journal Project piece. It's 5" square, as all my pieces will be, and of course hasn't photographed terribly well, between my crappy photography skills (honestly, I can't even hold the camera still half the time) and the difficulty of photographing beads, especially the little mirrors at the centre of each circle. It may be helpful to say that I made a great deal of use of this grey bead mix. The tw...

Wait - it was about *what*? - Film and lit crit about disability
http://crip-crit.livejournal.com/12480.html
Film and lit crit about disability. Wait - it was about *what*? February 19th, 2013. This was one of those strange experiences you get when you reread a book as an adult that you haven't read since childhood. The book in question was Burnett's The Secret Garden. Like me, you may remember it vaguely as an uplifting Victorian tale about some bratty children who become nicer people through gardening. 2013-02-19 07:04 pm (UTC). Colin, waited on hand and foot by servants but deprived of love and affection and...

David Sedaris- Pretty much awesome. - We're disabled, not dead

Were disabled, not dead. Back off, sparky! David Sedaris- Pretty much awesome. Dec 24th, 2010 at 4:46 AM. I read this over in David Sedaris' Naked. And I thought it was snarky and hunourous enough to share, and I think a lot of us here can relate:. Peg would beckon the speaker close and whisper, "I collect the teeth from live kittens and use them to make necklaces for Satan.". WELL SURE YOU DO," they'd say.
