Hmmm, it seems I haven’t blogged on this blog since last BADD. I have actually been writing/arting about anti-ableism in other venues: Welcome Ministry blog Facebook profile Flickr photostream Now, even on Twitter (although I’m challenged by limiting anything to 140 characters!) As I'm really short on time this week, since I've been in DC and am preparing to preach on Sunday, here's a hasty

Ableism, Homelessness, Jail, the Church, & PrivilegeI feel like I could say a lot about my observations of ableism in the last month of working with long-term homeless and hungry people who all experience ableism, corresponding with a friend who is serving a federal sentence in an IL jail for her actions protesting the SOA (interesting link in even the sentencing and ableism), sharing our work

Life has been chaotic lately, explaining the lack of posting in the last few months.Moving across the river has been exciting. Where we're living is great, although we're just now finally getting completely unpacked.Grandma had a stroke and has aphasia. Grandma also has post-polio syndrome, and has arthritis and a blood disorder, so she's taught me a lot about living with disabilities.The

Summer has been busy. Take a look at photos from recent events at Jay's Flickr site. In other news, I've completed my 3-month temporary job, and am applying for another temporary job as well as for a Chaplaincy Residency starting in September for 9-12 months.

Us in rainy car This Blogging Against Ableism post is devoted to challenge patronizing people with disabilities. In my experience, it's one of the more common and typical manifestations of (dis)ableism, and also one of the most slippery and insidious. How can you check an attitude anyway? Yet, as far as abuse of power, the dismissal of someone is a major action.I define patronizing as:

Reminder- if you haven't seen the call from Diary of a Goldfish, get ready for Blogging Against Disableism Day on May 1.I've been investigating, and it appears that Disableism is the British equivalent to Ableism. Ever want to join in an international direct action?Some good ideas to get you motivated:

The "Theory of Mind" as lacking in people with Autistic Spectrum experiences has bugged me for a long time. I figured out why awhile ago, and have worked on it long enough to figure out how to say a preliminary statement of it...The Development of Lacking Theory of MindA young kid with AS thinks differently because their brains are wired in a different way from neurotypical. But, being in

Question Your Gender There have been some posts to the Trans-academics list, also published at Intersex Pride regarding the variety of ways that people identify/don't identify as intersex, along with frustration regarding the uniformity of some of the organizations' choices and explanations.One of the issues raised is a concept that I've been working with for a few years, but doesn't seem

Puddle Reflection On Fire I posted our post-covenant-service-trip photos. We had a nice time in Wausau, brief but free. I'm back looking for jobs, volunteering for orgs, and taking photos. I'm looking to start selling some crossword puzzles, buttons, t-shirts, and/or photos, whichever I get going first.

Clean desk I've been doing a lot of applying for jobs lately.Some of them are long-term-career jobs, and others are short-term-until-then jobs. I've noticed some inconsistencies within the world of Human Resources.-The human resources that are particularly valued by the Human Resources departments tend not to be all human resources, but particularly those that are phrased "excellent social

Visual Metaphor for Autistic Perception This is my attempt at a visual metaphor of autistic perception. When I was driving today and noticed that the thick snow had covered most of the roadsigns, I was thinking about how the social world seems like that in autism. We may know there are rules, but can't make out what the details are, or are looking at the wrong side of the sign, so end up either

I've been thinking a lot about passing, privilege, and visibility lately. I was just re-reading Cal Montgomery's presentation from the Queer Disability Conference in 2002 from the panel (In)Visibility, Recognition, and Marginalization: Queers with Non-apparent Disabilities titledTangled in the Disability Cloak. It reminded me of Eli Clare's essay "Flirting with You: Some Notes on Isolation and

Smash Binary Gender A few weeks ago, my partner came home from class frustrated. He had asked another classmate not to use "black and white" to talk about dichotomy, noting the racist connotation that black=bad, white=good.His classmate got upset, and said, "well, what's the politically correct thing to say then?" He tried to explain how it was about being anti-racist and sensitive to the

I've been thinking about blogging for awhile now, not sure I had the time, energy, or poeticism to be an effective blogger. However, I'm finding information and ideas I'd like to share, but typically do so on scrap paper that only gets to one person.We'll see how this goes.
