Disability Blog Carnival #43 is up NOW!

[Logo description: "The Disability Blog Carnival" and "a bracing event" in blue text, superimposed over an old patent drawing of a torso-bracing device]

Cherylberyl has an early back-to-school lesson in adjectives--among them, yes, the r-word, but also expensive, wrong (as in, "what's wrong with him?"), happy, annoyed, funny (and funny-looking too), frustrated, loud, little, first...well, the disability blogosphere is a descriptive community, it seems! Have a read and add your comments, succinct or florid, as you see fit.

The next carnival edition (#44) is scheduled to take place August 28, hosted by Athena, Ivan, and the Integral. The chosen theme is "disability superlatives"--best, worst, biggest, smallest, longest, shortest, loudest, quietest, you get the idea. Write up the most or least of something related to the experience of disability, and submit it by the deadline (August 24), at the blogcarnival.com form, in comments here or there, or just putting the phrase "disability blog carnival" in your post (that usually works).

    Well, actually, our topic is disability-specific......

    Worst, best, most outrageous, stupidest.....things people have heard, experienced personally......etcetera......about disability..


    I was wondering why the submissions so far had very little to do with the actual topic.....I was utterly confused for a while.

    It's not just superlatives.........its "disability superlatives"......best attitudes towards the disabled, worst attitude, worst treatment you've experienced, best treatment, dumbest thing you've heard about being disabled, that kind of thing.

    Please update your dbc system as soon as you can..

    Thanks
