Disabilities Awareness Month: here we go again

Hark, National Disabilities (Employment) Awareness month #NDEAM has rolled around again.

Look world, EVERY MONTH is National Disabilities Awareness Month around Planet RantWoman.

However, awhile ago, like several years ago, RantWoman devoted a whole month to daily disability-related dispatches. RantWoman was, um, a seriously confrontational bitch about some of the topics that came up. The world survived.

Furthermore, RantWoman heard VERY little response at the time beyond what sounded to RantWoman like "shut up" from more than  one person from whom RantWoman considered it VERY inappropriate to hear "shut up." However, long after, RantWoman received feedback that someone found the many resources she presented VERY valuable.

With that in mind and with some spectacular examples on her mind of how NOT to do it, RantWoman again wades into National Disabilities Awareness Month.

Besides topics percolating in RantWoman's head, look for some resources culled from the profile info from people on a couple of RantWoman's Twitter lists. RantWoman also promises more #DisabilityInChurch moments: RantWoman does NOT apologize to her beloved faith community but will strive to be firm in corrections and  affirming especially when things get done right. (Headings. Headings. Headings! Mentioning in the bleeping minutes that rantWoman is incredibly grateful for the headings. !!!)

Tune in tomorrow for the next exciting episode.
