September 14, 2022 Shining A Light On Healthcare With Alison Hayes
We talk with Alison about the state of Social Security, and the public's perception of disabled people as "lazy" or "faking it" to rake in all of those government bucks... Except for one tiny detail: those of us, who are lucky enough to qualify, actually get very little assistance, if it all. So we pose the question to you: are we disabled enough?

July 27, 2022 Try Harder! The Reality of Limitation
As a way to empathize with others, we compare ourselves to them. When people use this approach to relate with disabled people, there's a chance that they downplay the reality of our limitations. We're often told to "Try Harder" and, if we don't succeed, that's used as evidence that our failings are our own faults. Remember, we're just the tip of the spear!
