Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:42 am   By Guest Contributor

Over at Reddit there is a pretty good thread where people are recommending Young Adult and Children’s SciFi/Fantasy books where a character has a disability. It was started by KristaDBall.

She agreed and said there are... Read more

Beginnings (Festival Experiences from Pagans with Disabilities)

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:42 am   By Guest Contributor

I learned that I have an important place in the world, even if I don't always see it. I learned of the generosity of the human spirit, what we are truly capable of. I found a group of people who were willing and able to show me just how much I'm worth when I forget, to include me in things and not keep me on the outskirts. I found an actual community. Read more

Sneak Peek at Rooted in the Body, Seeking the Soul

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:42 am   By Guest Contributor

An Excerpt from the Anthology Rooted in the Body, Seeking the Soul: Magic Practitioners Living with Disabilities, Addiction, and Illness. “Turning Disability into Opportunability” by Lydia M. Crabtree Nature seems to say, “Adapt.” It is, in fact, the very basis of evolution. As one form of adaptation is no longer needed, another rises to take its place and be utilized for the greater good. If nature is encouraging us to adapt, then there are several adaptations those of us with... Read more

A dwarf’s perspective on Tyrion Lannister (Spoilers)

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 11:43 am   By Guest Contributor

Tyrion is easily one of the best representations of the dwarf experience precisely because he acknowledges the roles others would place on him. His life becomes in essence a performance, transcending and transforming the tired tropes forced upon him by the ignorant. Read more
