Noticed yesterday while reading an article online in the Chicago Sun Times, that my blog post Disabled, Not Disabled from the day after the election appeared in the Chicago Sun Times via Blogburst.
I needed that after finding not one, but two, inaccessible handicapped bathrooms yesterday. Got a pointless, senseless response from one of the managers, who muttered and said "We don't owe people like you nothing."
People like you.
I wasn't shocked or stunned, as I would have been years ago. But I did remember:
Disabled. Not disabled.
Words of hope for a better tomorrow.

Jaw dropped about manager response.
Great about the news! That's part of our mission, to let more and more people know about disability. Sometimes I worry I'm just blogging within the disability community too much--though there's a place for that given responses like the manager's--but I think word will get out more and more via blogs.
Greg - thanks so much.
BG-thank you. I was particularly happy it was a Chicago paper.
WCD- it's mutual - have learned much from you too :)
