So, that happened.
Dec. 31st, 2010 08:10 pmGoodbye From FWD.
In one of those things that I find terribly funny (but other people may not), my final post on FWD is about Glee. It's a transcript of the WBAI program "The Largest Minority", in which various people discuss Glee and it's depictions of disability, and includes more details on that thing I mentioned where Ryan Murphy was invited to a major industry event about disability and accessibility hosted by the Screen Actors Guild and didn't show up: Glee and Disability in Pop Culture.
What I find funny about this is the reason FWD stopped posting anything about Glee was because I asked everyone not to. I still get a few emails a month from people telling me to kill myself over my posts on the topic at Bitch and on FWD, and at the time I was having panic attacks at even the idea of looking at another discussion of the show.
I updated my Bundle of RSS feeds for disability-focused blogs. Check out my awesome gReader bundle!. It does include parent-focused blogs and educator focused blogs. It doesn't include anyone from DW or LJ, sadly. I may update it in a few days to include those, I'm not sure. Feel free to use it in any way (or no way!) that you wish, and ping me to add someone if you think I should. I in no way think it's at all even a tiny tiny fraction of the disability-focused blogs out there.
I'm taking the next month or so (ish) off from the internet. If there's anything personal experience has taught me, it's that this is difficult for me, since about 90% of my friends are online, and a lot of them communicate primarily through blogs & LJ/DW. But, I will have email, so don't hesitate for one moment to email me should you wish. Be aware, though, that I'll be only checking my email once a day, because I need to focus on everything I need to get done in January if Don & I are going to blow the pop-stand of Halifax.
I hope you all have or had a wonderful Gregorian New Year's Eve, and many joyous returns of the day.
