What is BADD? BADD stands for Blogging Against Disablism Day. Every May 1st, the awesome Goldfish hosts BADD, a collection of posts all relating to disablism/ableism in one form or another. For those of you who don't know, disablism, also called ableism, is basically discrimination on the basis of disability/ability/whatever the hell you want to call it. It's similar to racism/sexism/etc. This will be......I think my fourth year participating? Yes, four years of being BADD to the bone! Below are the links to my last three BADD posts:
2010 - Harry Potter and the Disability Invisibility Cloak
2009 - Special People, Normal World
2008 - Blogging Against Disablism Day - A Day Late!
Anyway, I'll be tweeting on Twitter (is that redundant?) all about BADD with the hashtag #badd2011 (all credit for anything BADD related goes to the Goldfish!) Follow me and share with me YOUR BADD posts! I can't wait! Hope to see you all there on May 1st!
If everyone tweets (or a significant proportion: quality and quantity too) it will be great to follow #BADD on the hashtag trends.
ReplyDeleteHave a great 2011.
