Disability Blog Carnival #18 is up NOW!

And, to be honest, has been up for a few days, but I'm back and able to make this belated announcement. Retired Waif has produced a perfect midsummer edition of the Disability Blog Carnival, inspired by beach-reading celebrity mag-hype, around the theme "The Disabled! We're just like YOU!!!!" (Yes, four exclamation points at the end.) Big entertainment, plenty of snark, but as always, a solid collection of great blogging. Take a lazy July afternoon to savor it, perhaps with a favorite beverage? (See, I've been in Sorrento, where everything is more fun with a cheerful bottle of limoncello nearby.)

And did I mention the labor pains? Go, read, laugh, wince, breathe, breathe, breathe....

I know I've said this before, but all the Disability Blog Carnival hosts to date have been wondrous, diverse, creative, thoughtful, reliable... couldn't be a carnival without these great volunteers taking turns. But I do believe this is the first edition known to be assembled by a woman experiencing contractions on the midway. All the best to the Retired Waif in her impending accouchement.

Next edition is due up on Thursday, July 26, at Arthritic Young Thing, around the theme "Sexuality and Disability." Zephyr's been guest-blogging at Ouch! this month, too--so visit her there, and at AYT, and then send her some recent links for Disability Blog Carnival #19. Use the blogcarnival.com form, here.
