Beautiful people : my thirteen truths about disability / by Blake, Melissa(Blogger),author.(CARDINAL)889986;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-256).In the summer of 2019, journalist Melissa Blake penned an op-ed for CNN Opinion. A conservative pundit caught wind of it, mentioning Blake's work in a YouTube video. What happened next is equal parts a searing view into society, how we collectively view and treat disabled people, and the making of an advocate. After a troll said that Blake should be banned from posting pictures of herself, she took to Twitter and defiantly posted three smiling selfies, all taken during a lovely vacation in the Big Apple. Her tweet went viral, attracting worldwide media attention and interviews, and an activist was born. Now, in her manifesto, Beautiful People, Blake shares her truths about disability, writing about (among other things): the language we use to describe disabled people; ableism, microaggressions, and their pernicious effects; what it's like to live in a society that not only isn't designed for you, but actively operates to render you invisible; her struggles with self-image and self-acceptance; the absence of disabled people in popular culture; why disabled people aren't tragic heroes. Blake also tells the stories of some of the heroes of the disability rights movement in America, in doing so rescuing their incredible achievements from near total obscurity. Highlighting other disabled activists and influencers, Blake's work is the calling card of a powerful voice -- one that has sparked new, different, and better conversations about disability.--

Read by the author.Moms and dads today worry they're bad parents.
