"hey, why is [insert thing related to a disability] offensive?"
"well you see, there was a man named pt barnum--"
of course. it's always pt barnum, he's always (hyperbole) at the scene of the crime
Hello! Truly! P.T Barnum was a major player in popularizing sideshow and freak show culture, owning and trading countless slaves along the way. He truly was an awful man - be sure to look him up when doing work on disabled history, the ugly laws, slavery, etc.
For all of you who want to use this (or those who don't necessarily want it, but really really need it):
I made a Guide to Bucky as an Amputee (link will be in a reblog because Tumblr is not working with me today...)
I do not have a limb difference so it's all based on research I've done myself and there is no personal experience on my hand. But since so many writers seem to not know where to start when it comes to Bucky as an amputee I thought I might as well share what I've found over the years...
As I also state in the document itself, this is merely a beginner's guide, I implore you to do your own additional research too!
If anyone with more personal knowledge has any pointers you can either comment them directly in the document or send me a private message on the hellsite! I'm open to learning more!
Hey there writers!
I mentioned this in an ask, but I wanted to make an official post! I now offer sensitivity reads on commission! Reach out to me at [email protected] if you have a piece you'd like me to review as it pertains to dwarfism representation!
For any newbies - Elliot (27, they/them) here, I have Achondroplasia dwarfism and I run this blog with the goal to spread awareness on dwarfism and disability! Everything from disability etiquette to representation in media. I am queer, autistic, hard of hearing and a spoonie! In real life I am a public speaker and educator, drawing from my own lived expreience to hopefully encourage some change.
Feel free to reach out with any questions! Until then, ta ta for now!
Elliot
