Thanks to Terri at Barriers, Bridges and Books for giving me this award. Isn’t it cute?
[Image Description: A piece of lined notebook paper with the words “I [heart] your blog” written on it. There are also some doodles of happy faces, a smiling sun, and the words “Love Love” with a heart next to them.]
I pass the cuteness on to these 7 blogs. (Only 7?! Holy choices, Batman!):
Nicole writes about life with her husband and four girls, who are all awesome. One of them has Down Syndrome.
Shiva writes about diversity in all forms. Lots of good stuff about disability, feminism, transgender issues, and cryptozoology.
If It Ain’t Broke….(and what happens if it is?)
The author has NLD (among other things) and a job in medical records. If that’s not cool, I don’t know what is.
Ms. CripChick works for social justice in the most inclusive sense. As she recently wrote:
I believe it IS strategic to talk about other systems of oppressions—how else can we expect to have the system of oppression we face as disabled people recognized? How can we even go into social justice work uwilling to talk about the privileges we have?This can’t be done in a superficial, let’s-high-five-Dr.-King way. What good is our activism, anyways, if it’s based on the backs of others?
And her poetry rocks, too.
Kristopher writes clearly and passionately about the transphobia/cissexism and other stuff affecting trans* people. Plus, my addiction to Ponystars is totally his fault :).
Bint, a.k.a. Tulip has an incurable form of cancer and a gifted artist daughter. She writes about everything from racism to feminism (and racist feminists) to disability rights to sex workers’ rights to GLBT issues to life in Louisiana. And she isn’t afraid to throw the odd bit of foul language in, either.
elmindreda is elmindreda. Although she isn’t doing autistic self-advocacy anymore, her blog is full of excellent stuff about disability rights. And game design. (Game design!)
Spread the love.
thanks love!!!!
Thanks!
Aw thanks so much! HUGS
I can’t wait to visit your other picks too. Intelligent, diverse blogs. WOW! 🙂
OMG a blog award! Sweet!
OK, now i have to find 7 more to pass it onto… well, a couple of picks are obvious, but i will have to think harder about the others…
You rock* 🙂
*one of these days, i will get round to making that t-shirt that says “autistic people rock” 😉

And I’d be first in line to buy it :).
A while ago my psychiatrist suggested I get tested for Fragile X Syndrome. (He seemed to think FXS could cause periventricular leukomalacia…). Anyway, an affectionate term for people with Fragile X is “fraggles.” And I wanted to make a shirt that said “Fraggles rock”.
My test came back negative, which is probably a good thing. I probably would’ve gotten in trouble for copyright infringement :).
Tera,
How cool is that! Didn’t think I had enough readers to get a blog award…thanks!
Now I’ve got a question…how do I display it on my blog? I’ve been fiddling with formatting & can’t quite figure it out…that’s NLD for you!
Great. Another cryptozoology blogger out there.
