I was on a podcast!

My friends Queen and J invited me to be on episode 83 of their fabulous podcast Tea With Queen & J along with my fellow disabled person and friend, Mae. I got to hang out for the entire episode and talk about the inattention to Black hair needs on The Walking Dead and Jennifer Lawrence’s latest act of fuckery in addition to a lengthy segment where Mae joined us on the phone to talk about ableism, eugenics, and how the latest war on drugs is devastating to chronic pain sufferers. Listen to it on Soundcloud or on iTunes.

The Impetus

I realized something seemingly obvious about myself this year and it feels amazing. I look for ways to bring it up in conversation and I get a burst of joy every time I say it.

“I’m disabled”.
I see little parking placard – blue birds twittering around with prescription bottles in their beaks as I declare with Disney princess “I want” song confidence,
“I’m disabled”.
I’m disabled.
