4/1/25 - April Fool's Day
We can all use a bit of a laugh about now. Here are three links where you might find some.
The Squeaky Wheel
The Squeaky Wheel
Headline: "Recently Paralyzed Libertarian Fights for Local Business’s Right to Deny Him Entry"
It's hard to keep a new disability media outlet going. So I'm impressed with the continued quality and consistency of The Squeaky Wheel. If you haven't visited the site before, go have a look at this disability version of The Onion.
Comedians With Disabilities Act
Comedians With Disabilities Act
"The Comedians with Disabilities Act is a fabulous collection of comedians who have disabilities, both seen and unseen, and bring forth the humor they find in their experiences. The show is the brainchild of comedian Michael O’Connell, who started the group in 2010, and was later joined by Steve Danner and Nina G, not long after. In 2016, O’Connell sadly passed away - but the show he created lives on, spotlighting a variety of Disabled and outrageously funny comedians."
It's a little hard to tell from the website hour current the information is. But the name of the group is almost enough on its own to justify looking into it further.
My Gimpy Life - Ep 1: Accessible

I can't believe this online comedy series is 12 years old already. But to me it still holds up, and I would love to see more of it. Start here and binge them all.
