A whole bunch of the Blogging Against Disablism Day posts, indexed from here (and now in its 10th year). So posts from a variety of mostly-disabled authors about the Disablism (or Ableism) we encounter in our lives.

I posted about disablism being embraced in current party manifestos, while posts I've read include some good stuff from Kathryn Allan, co-editor of the forthcoming 'Accessing the Future' on problems with the intersection of disability studies, academia in general, literary studies in particular and SF/F academia in the most specific (including a pretty spectacular *headdesk* in a Science Fiction Research Association CFP); a pretty horrific post on what happens to learning disabled and neurodivergent kids put in mandated care settings sometimes hundreds of miles from home, a description of on-street harassment that rings very true with my owm experiences, and an interesting post on needing to stop infighting within UK disability activism from a friend of mine.

ETA: If you're looking for my post it's tagged as Where's the Benefit? as I posted it there rather than at my personal blog.

And separately, but intersecting with the BADD stuff, a paper from the Journal of Disability Studies analysing the Oxford Reading Tree books and their treatment of disability.

I was in a meeting for much of the day, plus time spent driving to and from, so other than than the meeting docs all I've managed is a quick run through Twitter and a few emails.

About half of an issue of the New Yorker from July of 1925, and if past experience is any guide I am about to go upstairs to read Mouse Paint and The Crack in the Track several times each.

Have since finished a re-read of Strong Poison, managed about 40 minutes a night before zonking out, and embarked re-reading of Have His Carcase
