## Good afternoon!

  
I'm taking the week off for a bit of a vacation.

Don't forget, you can explore past newsletters at any time by visiting the main [*Disability Thinking Weekday*](https://disability-thinking-weekday.ghost.io/) website. There you will find all past issues, plus information on me and my other work, links to other recommended disability sites, a list of supporters, and links to my social media sites.

I'll be back next Monday!
