Okay, now, what could RantWoman POSSIBLY find to grumble about?

1. RantWoman apologizes for the lack of graphics. RantWoman received the announcement as a PDF and did not take the time to pull out some nice pictures for the blog.

 

2. The pdf contains print that is TOO SMALL to be read easily if one posts the flyer ans RantWoman is wont to do among a bunch of neighbors who are probably interested but do not necessarily see much better than RantWoman does. RantWoman grumbled the other day to receive an announcement that also had only small print but did come in HTNL so RantWoman MIGHT have had the option of enlarging, that is if she had been any less likely to lecture the other info provider than she is this one.

 

3. RantWoman does not recognize ALL the names on the lists here and does reckon that some organization names also serve people with disabilities. RantWoman also spends a LOT of time meditating about matters of privilege and the overlapping and intersecting of various strands of struggle. And RantWoman notes that several Disability rights organizations also invited themselves to an analogous celebration in our nation's capital. But where are some organizations that specifically speak of people with disabilities, like in the organization name?

 

4. And there is more, whole vast swaths of our community RantWoman wishes were represented...

 

But enough! Come to the Event!
