Hey Shapelings! FYI, I’ve got a guest post over at Shakesville on Sarah Palin, disability parenting, and reproductive choice. Hop on over if you want to hear my thoughts.

It is excellent!
Thanks!
Yes, thanks for writing that! I’d been having a hard time putting that issue into words while being badgered by my conservative relatives.
SM, I have also been having this nagging feeling of disgust at all the praise the anti-choicers have been giving Palin and I’m glad that you put into words.
Especially because they were smart words. Great article.
SM, I could cry reading your words. I feel all of that and more.
There is something rotten in this state of Denmark, and it extends so far beyond what I have been able to put my finger on that it frightens me. I sense that it has to do with identity politics, sure, but it also touches on some sort of brute, human hatred that I don’t understand, mainly because I’ve been using all of my privileges to protect myself from it until this last week.
I really could cry.
SM, that was fabulous. You have this amazing way of writing things so clearly and succinctly that a reader can’t help but say “of COURSE! This is exactly right; why couldn’t I understand it this clearly before?!”
Fantastic post, SM. I doubt most people even know there’s such a thing as “ableism,” since it’s so integrally woven into the collective societal psyche.
Thanks for a brilliant summary of the facts.
Hey, thanks everybody. I’m glad that post hit home.
Yeah, all that crap creeped me out too.
