This is the “Routledge Handbook of Disability Studies,” edited by Nick Watson, a professor of Disability Research, and Simo Vehmas, a professor of Special Education. The first edition was published in 2012, and the second in 2019. This handbook is divided into five parts: the various approaches and ‘models’ of disability, how specific disabled groups engage with disability studies, policy and legislation in response to disability studies and disability activism, the interaction of disability studies with other academic disciplines, and an intersectional analysis of disability and disability studies. A table of contents helps facilitate easy navigation, and there’s an index at the back, in addition to references at the end of each chapter. The intended audience for this book is academics and students in disability studies, but I think it’s manageable for anyone just curious about the discipline. This book would be helpful for you if any of the five categories specifically caught your eye, or if you’re interested in doing a bit more a deep dive into the discipline of disability studies itself.

Dear Superman <3

I tried to write this so many times yesterday, but nothing ever sounded right.  Yesterday would have been your 17th birthday.  I didn't stop thinking about you all day.  Well, I never go a day without thinking about you.  I never take my bracelet off.  I know that everyone really missed you yesterday.  I can't even imagine how Shane felt.  You two were best friends for so long.  I'll never forget that tournament in Cohasset where you came with us and we just spent the whole day being stupid. Or, that night that I came home and you and Roche were in my living room and you demanded that I let you paint my toenails for some reason...and I let you.  And you'll always be the first person to have wished me a happy birthday when I turned 17.

I miss you so much kid.  I wish I had gone to see you more once you got sick.  I saw you so much when you guys were growing up.  There were baseball games almost every day fall, spring, and summer for so many years.  You were like another little brother to me for so long.   Speaking of baseball, the team this year has done so well.  You'd be so proud of them.  I mean, they could totally use your amazing talent as a catcher, but they've been making due.  I can't stand to see Shane hurting.  I know it still kills him that you're gone.  I don't know what to do to make it better.  Keep an eye out for him, please. Who am I kidding?  I know you do.  You've got an eye out for all of us and I can feel it. You've helped me multiple times.

Kristen and I tried to smoke a blunt with you yesterday, but they had a cop sitting right by your grave. They must have known kids were going to try to smoke there.  So instead, Kristen and I smoked a blunt for you and then me, her, Clark, and Ryan smoked two more for you.  I know it's just what you would have wanted.  We went hard for you.  the only thing that could have made it better would've been if Rob was there too.  It was nice to see Clark again.  Thanks for making that happen yesterday.  I know that was all totally your planning.  

I can't wait for the Wiffle for Watty tournament.  It's going to be amazing. Kaci is doing such a good job planning it. I'm not playing (you know I was always more of a spectator than an athlete) but I will be there for the whole thing to do whatever I can to participate.  

I love and miss you so much Watty.  Rest in Peace.

Time passes, memories stay

Loved and remembered every day

Didn't want to let you go

But Heaven needed a hero

Rest in Paradise, Nick.

I still can't even believe you're gone. We haven't spoken in years, but I can still remember watching you and my brother, and all the other boys in town would play baseball together in the summer, and I still remember how good of friends you all were. I just talked to Jonathan on the phone, and it broke my heart to hear tears in my little brother's voice. 

Sixteen is too early of an age to be taken from the world, but at this point, you aren't suffering. I'm so proud of how far you'd come with everything. You were one of the strongest people I'd known, and I'm absolutely amazed at all the support and love you've been getting on your facebook. 

I'm sure we can all agree you're in a better place now, after all the fighting you've done. You're amazing, Nick Watson, and you'll never ever be forgotten. Rest in peace<3
