Mini Link Spam consists of my open tabs! I've created a new community, access_fandom , for discussion of Access and disability issues at SF conventions and in fandom in general. If anyone would like to co-mod this community with me, please let me know!! sasha-feather: Disabling Language WisCon panel report sophy: WisCon panel notes: Rethinking Disability Metaphor sasha-feather: not...

Today, I get to clean up a vomitty car! What I've found so far is: 1) 1/4 cup Ammonia, 1 cup water. 2) dab sponge/washcloth and soak up after scooping up the Chunkeh 3) get it as much cleaned up with that as possible 4) use baking soda and pat that around to absorb more 5) let dry 7) put about 6 charcoal briquets into a foil pan and place under a seat and in a week or so that should absorb the odor...

Please let me know if I misquote or misrepresent you. There is another write-up by sophy here . Insults and epithets are pervasively framed as physical and mental differences, such as "they are blind to needed change and deaf to reason." These unconscious metaphors strongly influence how people with actual disabilities are perceived—by the world and by ourselves. This highly–interactive...

This post directly addresses recent issues that have taken place at rahmbamarama , concerning a story posted that contained extremely offensive treatment of African-American hair . That post has since been edited, and an apology has been issued by the authors.

Couple requests for those of you who pray, send good energies, keep people in thoughts, etc... 1) A family friend of ours had cancer a while back, and it was in remission but now it's back again.  She decided after all the therapy last time that she would go without fighting this time.  She was supposed to go out with friends last saturday but e-mailed that things took...

I've made a couple of posts about the whole RaceFAIL of epic proportions over the past couple months, so I'm hoping most of you know where I stand. I post because I'm interested in this. I'm interested in bettering myself. I'm interested in evolving. And I don't want any of my friends here, whether you are of color or mixed or white or queer or whatever, to feel unsafe or unwanted. Instead of...

So... While visiting the folks over xmas, we learned of their shitty property management and lack of proper shoveling/maintenance of snow/ice covered walks. We complained about it, and sophy convinced my mom to be the squeaky wheel. They went to the office, but no-one was in. Anyways, I get a call last night from my sister. Well 2 calls. The first was during my work hours. And she was...
