Recent articles about a Jeopardy champion have left me with a nasty taste of ableism in my mouth.

Despite being outdated and ableist, the term "wheelchair-bound" is still used by a lot of people — including the medical profession. Let's nip that in the bud.

Unfortunately, disabled people will often find ourselves in situations where we will not be listened to without the support of a non-disabled ally. It's not fair. Our voices are valid. But this is the unfortunate truth for most marginalized communities.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Or maybe it's "God's intentions"?

That whole "If God intended [fill in the blank] argument" gets under my skin these days. Here's why.

It's not unusual for non-disabled people to feel uncomfortable around someone who's disabled, especially if they're like me and tend to talk about their situation with humor. Their comfort isn't my responsibility, and I'm not going to censor myself to protect their sensitive feelings.

It's easy to say, "Just find something physical you enjoyed doing as a child," when advising someone on how to incorporate exercise into their lives. It's not so easy to do when you grew up disabled.

I'm smart. I've always been smart. And being smart is a central pillar of my identity.  I much preferred being "the smart kid" to being "the disabled kid."

For the first time in 100 episodes, we have a guest! In this week's episode, I'm joined by my good friend Jonathan Bradshaw to discuss his colorectal cancer journey, and the legal and social definitions of disability, with a little bit of nostalgia thrown in!

Jonathan was diagnosed with Stage III Rectal Cancer in 2021 at age 40. His treatment included the removal of my colon and everything after, and he will poop in a bag for the rest of his life.  Despite being the largest cohort, Jonathan finds a lack of male representation in the Ostomate Community. He tries to be a voice and information source for men entering the poop-bag life.

What does self-care look like for you? It probably looks different than it does for me. A lot of what counts as traditional "self-care" may not be obtainable for someone who is disabled or chronically ill.
