Favorite Disability Blogs and Disability Blog Carnival
- 21 Jul 07, 9:14 AM
I've spend the past couple of days feeling very much under the weather, literally. Like the UK, it's quite rainy and gloomy here in Vancouver, so I'm hiding out in my room waiting for the summer to come back. I'm mostly keeping myself occupied by reading No Pity by Joseph P. Shapiro, thanks to the suggestion of an Ouch! commenter. I've also been reading up on some other disability blogger's sites. Here are a couple of my favorites.
Screw Bronze! - Elizabeth writes about disability issues, life as a lesbian, LBGT issues, epee fencing, and manga. She's an academic and an award-winning novelist who lives in Victoria, BC, Canada. Read her recent post on getting a bikini wax, it's awesomely hilarious. I can relate, though I can't say I've ever passed out mid-wax. My skin's still growing back from my latest bikini wax, though. I'll be downing some drinks beforehand next time, I'll tell you that.
Growing Up With A Disability - David interviews people with disabilities and shares their stories on his blog. He also writes about disability news and current events. David was recently invited to go to Costa Rica to participate in Mobility International's 2007 US/Costa Rica: Youth Leadership and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Disability Rights Exchange Program. His blog contains lots of stories and photos of his travels in Costa Rica. One of those posts will be featured on the upcoming Disability Blog Carnival, hosted by Yours Truly.
What's the Disability Blog Carnival, you ask? It's a collection of posts from different disabled bloggers writing on a common theme. The next carnival is July 26th and the theme is Sexuality and Disability. If you'd like to submit a blog post, please go here. Don't forget to visit Arthritic Young Thing on July 26th for the blog carnival. In the meantime, do check out the last carnival hosted by Retired Waif here. Have a great weekend!
