Blogging Against Disablism Day is coming!
Just found out about Blogging Against Disablism Day on May 1 which I will try and be involved in, it's funny how it seems like a much more important issue now that I'm disabled(*).
And so I've said SOMETHING on the subject in the event I forget on the day, two links:
Lazyweb Book request: Disability activism from Hoyden About Town which I mean to poke at when next I go on a "reading non fiction" bender.
Elder and Disabled Porn Targeted By Massachusetts Lawmaker - Proposal Goes Too Far Attemptt to extend over the top "prosecute people for taking pictures of themselves" child porn laws to the disabled and elderly in Massachusetts. Not that I had any intentions of becoming a porn star in Massachusetts, but still, it illustrates the creepy infantalisation that happens.
(*)I'm still getting used to describing myself that way, but afaict I am by pretty much every legal definition even if not the cultural one of "Deaf, blind, or in a wheelchair".
