As you may have read, I wrote a post for the BADD event, which included a refusal to include my post on a "blogroll" where BADD started in the first place. After posting my write-up, I then sent the link to the "Goldfish" (the owner of the blog that started it all). She sent a very nice response, in fact, and I gladly accept her apology.

So I heard about a wee great undertaking, a day to blog against disablism. Disablism, in some circles, is similar to ablism. Sexism, ageism, racism, yada yada yada, loads of ‘isms’ around. The thing is, it’s important to talk about these. I wanted to talk about good Christian values, and good Christian people who curse people with disabilities with more "just punishment from God". Or perhaps how people with disabilities are "guilty" of disablism themselves, in particular those who are "trying to pass" as non-disabled. There was something there I wanted to explore. I’ll talk about disablism in the disability community, but in a different way than I originally thought.
