CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY GOOGLE SEARCH HAS SUDDENLY A few months ago, I was searching for abortion statistics, as one does now and then. I expected to find Guttmacher as the first result — they’re an extremely reputable organisation that specialises in data around reproductive rights and justice issues. WHAT A FREAKSHOW: A STRANGE FACET OF DISABILITY HISTORY 17 May, 2013. by s.e. smith. One of the few ways in which disabled people have always been able to earn a living is via the freakshow, a European tradition that exploded in the 1500s . Whether it was a person with dwarfism DISABILITY AS METAPHOR, AND WHY YOU SHOULDN'T The use of disability as a metaphor in pop culture and elsewhere is widespread, but that doesn’t mean it should happen.

Beyond the adversarial relationship cultivated between older and younger workers to keep them wary of each other, instead of working in solidarity, some workplaces actively push older adults out. Want to get rid of them. Want to cultivate a younger workforce. They use terms like‘flexibility’
KEEPING YOUNGER WORKERS OUT OF THE WORKPLACE The sharp rise in youth unemployment that has accompanied the financial crisis has been a topic of much discussion and debate. Younger workers, or young people who want to be working, have a lot to lose right now, and increasingly have less to gain.

ANOTHER REASON TO AVOID EXCLUSIONARY LANGUAGE There are a lot of reasons which I think are pretty compelling to avoid the use of exclusionary language, which is to say language which is sexist, ableist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, etc. I think that one obvious reason, of course, especially if you are a social justice activist, is that such language props up problematicTHIS AIN'T LIVIN'

COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL EDUCATION MUST INCLUDE DISABILITY Sexual pleasure, too, should be a component of disability-orientated sexual education.
