- The International Symbol of Acceptance
Full disclosure: There is a discount offer at the end of this post (for 3ELove’s merchandise featuring their symbol). However, I have been meaning to write about this design for some time; it has such deep significance for me, and I hope it will gain prominence as more people are introduced to it.
And for more ...

- Reclamation: thoughts from a fat hairy uppity lame bitch
This article was originally posted at Hoyden About Town on June 23, 2007, but has been substantially edited and updated for FWD/Forward.
This post started with me suggesting a FAQ on reclamation for the “Finally, a Feminism 101 Blog” blog: “But there’s a whole feminist magazine called Bitch and a book called The Ethical Slut, ...
- Quiz: Representations of Disabled Bodies in Logos
Most disability logos just consist of the usual stick-figure-in-the-wheelchair logo, or a derivation thereof.
After spotting this logo for No Barriers No Borders, I went looking for others. And I got to thinking about the representations of disabled bodies in logos.

Of course, feel free ...

- The Invisible Disability
Moderatrix Note: Originally posted at random babble… on 15 September 2009. At the time the movie was just out over the previous summer.
Because of the new movie that is out I am currently re-reading Jodi Piccoult’s My Sister’s Keeper. I read it about five years ago, but I read that the screenwriter for the movie ...
- The Disabled Label
I’d been diagnosed with my first chronic illness for a good ten years before I took the label on. This was partly because I didn’t make a connection between chronic illnesses and disability. That’s an experience I share with a lot of “invisibly” disabled people. Disability is all deafness and wheelchairs and that sort of ...
- The TRICARE Pharmacy and the Second Shift
Moderatix note: This post will be United States Military centric, as that is the perspective I offer, and the broken system within which I currently exist and attempt to navigate. Other voices are welcome and experiences appreciated within the context of the conversation, since I can not pretend to know every thing about every military ...
