12/3/25 - Why, how, and why not

Good afternoon ... I don't know if the title of today's newsletter makes much sense. Sometimes it's hard to come up with a neat phrase to sum up another day's disability-related articles. But the title resonates for me somehow, so let's

11/26/25 - Home again!

Hello! After three week in the hospital due to a broken arm and hip, I am thrilled to be back home. By and large, my hospital stay was pleasant enough and mostly drama-free. But this whole experience is giving me fresh insights into quite a few things about disability in

11/24/25 - A rare win, sharing our stories, and more on parking

Good afternoon! It looks like this will be another complicated week for me, and not just because Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the US. For that reason and possibly others, newsletters may be a bit spotty this week. Nonetheless, this is still a good time to help support Disability Thinking

Hello! I am pretty busy today, working in the next stages of recovering from that fall I took two weeks ago. I'll be back with another set of three disability-related links tomorrow. For now, here's a bit of a laugh: Disability Thinking Weekday is a Monday-Friday

11/18/25 - Education milestones and cuts; working

Good afternoon! Today we observe an anniversary for accessible education in the US, a lookout how this progress is being dismantled, and some restating of the obvious on employment. Also, I want to let you know that the next few weeks would be a great time to help support Disability
