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.

Newsflash: Just because someone does something a disabled person doesn't like doesn't mean they're ableist.

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.

The entertainment industry needs to stop pretending that there are disabled actors available to fill disabled roles and start admitting that it just doesn't want to put in the effort to find them.

Disability cannot truly be (nor does it need to be) overcome. What disabled people really overcome is EVERYTHING ELSE.

I'm a big believer in "you do you" and "whatever floats your boat" right up until it comes to appropriating disability culture and turning it into a fetish. Then we need to have a different conversation.

I must be prescient because a whole lot of what I said in this episode has come to pass.

Let's take a look at the story that gripped the nation in the days and weeks leading up to Christmas: the death of United Healthcare CEO Bryan Thompson, and the eventual arrest of Luigi Mangione.
