Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability

Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability

A less-than-inspiring exploration of disability from someone who is actually disabled. Heavy on the sarcasm, Bad Attitudes explores the reality of being disabled, how non-disabled people can become better advocates and allies, disability representation in pop culture, and the ways in which disability permeates society. Young or sensitive ears beware. N (always) SFW.

There has rightfully been pushback on referring to Governor Greg Abbott as Governor "Hot Wheels." If we're going to mock political figures, we've got to have the integrity to do so without mocking a part of them beyond their control.

Disabled artists don't need AI to create. Claiming AI is an "assistive tool" for disabled artists is just an attempt to obfuscate the fact that generative AI is theft.

Disabled people don't exist for the majority of non-disabled society. They don't think about us, they don't care about us, and they only accept seeing us in certain limited circumstances. We're basically NPCs.
