My thoughts on the disability discussion

10/23/2024

♿️👍🏻DBBoros

I was born with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. every time I would talk about it in middle school or elementary school, kids with lose their minds and try to destroy any evidence of it. and nowadays, when I talk about it in high school, the only people who seem to listen, is my best friend who I’ve known since the beginning of high school, she became so interested when I told her the stories of how Judy Hueman and Brad Lomax were my heroes. when I shared my story with the rest of the class, my creative writing teachers mouth dropped open. but in truth, not many teachers knew what I was talking about. It was a shock to their system when they looked it up. if it wasn’t for events like the disability protest sit in in San Francisco, I wouldn’t be here after nine surgeries. or in darrell, chill Mitchell from NCIS New Orleans words: “ it’s a genius plan actually, using disabled people as spies. disabled people are everywhere, but society, trains people to look right through us. We hide in plain sight.” This is a quote I’ve had laminated on the back of my chair and a T-shirt I have, and every time I read that quote, I think of this protest. So thank you for doing an episode on that.♿️👨🏻‍🦽‍➡️😇🤝🤞🏻

This has been such a wonderful, educational and personally edifying show for me. I can’t tell you how sad I am to hear that it will be discontinued!!! Listening was my guilty pleasure. So many talk about binge watching. Well I was a binge listener!! Dallas, I really hope you are able to come back into my (our) life and delight us with more histories of inventions! It is such an inspirational way to learn about the world around us!!
Going to miss Patented.
