#DynamicDs

Since I missed yesterday‘s prompt, I‘m going for double Ds today! (Okay, that sounded better in my head!) 😆 Out Of My Brain is about a #DifferentlyAbled girl & told through #Diary entries. The follow-up (tagged) is still in my TBR.

Please excuse me getting on my soapbox for a minute, but I saw that the #DynamicDs prompt for today is #DifferentlyAbled

Can we just not with the “differently abled” language? I‘m disabled. So is my sister, my cousin, and some of my friends. I‘ve been a part of disability groups politically/professionally. We either use “disabled” or “person w/ a disability.”

Tagged is good if you want to learn. Pic of sister‘s invisibly disabled cat for tax.

shortsarahrose Here‘s a pretty good summary about why you should use disabled rather than differently abled: https://www.betterup.com/blog/differently-abled 2w

shortsarahrose Thank you @lil1inblue 💜 This is why I love Litsy - people are open to talk and learn (rather than just argue like every other social media site). I know I‘ve learned from others on here over the years. 2w

"The sky was crying outside, and as she watched the drops come down, she thought: A rainy day can actually be a very important day. And a small hope isn't really small if it makes a lost hope less sad.”

LOVE this book ❤️

“I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.”
