Our Newest Topic Show For The Many Faces Of The Abled Podcast: Ableism

New topic show Ableism 5/10/ 21 TMFOTA Show Able Privilege: How society shows more favor for the those without disabilities than those with. (Society’s structure) Ableism discrimination against people with disabilities. Stella Young comedian/activist coined term inspiration porn we died December 6, 2014 Inspiration porn: Able people view and use people with disabilities solely as objects of their own inspiration. The term inspiration porn was coined by Stella Young, an Australian comedian, journalist, and disability rights activist.  My personal stance on ableism, it’s about the tone of the conversation, and the approach. Not the topic or title alone. And honestly I would rather be guilty of spreading inspiration porn than hate against our diverse community if we even got that attention long enough for people to notice. This is not a celebrity stance-and the fact that we seem ore concerned about our representation being shown in Hollywood, rather in ever day life/societal means is disturbing to me. The only time were are mentioned is for the fear factor or told that an essential resource is being taken away from us for “reasons” that line the over-flowing pockets of the true overprivileged. (Hollywood.) Do we not see the irony here? Their show of “solidarity” Last long enough to being a branding topic for our current generations to show “their support”. But when reality hits they are nowhere to be seen. Why Because they have no idea what it’s like to fight for basic needs and essential to help maintain our lives. Yet no one seriously talks about this. instead, we get told oh what a shame or that we’re wining and complaining. Don’t you get paid by the state? What more do you want? No one talks about how offended and discriminatory this is no one not even our own community provide enough action into this problem. We would rather blame political parties, Rather than seeing this is a people problem, and we’re missing an enormous opportunity to lead, educate, and Take our seat at the table for a very long awaited conversation about true change with actual action. Well, let this sho, an my platform be for the first to say, it’s time to put up, and show up people stop blaming, and start listening. Stop pointing fingers, and start inviting people to learn, work and grow with us. What do you all my listeners think? What are your thoughts/opinions?

Statement For Our Members And Followers Hello friends and loyal members of our group. I wanted to take this time, and share with you all that after 8 years of bring an open, and active group to anyone wanting a safe place to share and express like minded information, advice, guidance, and support to the widely diverse, communities both well known and unknown communities. I have had to make the difficult choice to make the facebook group community for the abler blog private indefinitely. Someone has attempted to gain access to the group recently using. my name and the abler’s. claiming to be an actor. They went as far as to even create a facebook page with the same false information. I have since then blocked and reported both personas. It is my hope that the activity in the group remains positive and on-going. My number one priority when I began my work with the abler eight years ago, was to provide a place to share not only my opinions and insights on various topics considered ...

THE ABLER RETURNS BY WELCOMING AMY BETH OUTLAND AUTHOR OF HER LATEST RELEASE ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES-OUR NEWEST BOOK REVIEW WITH AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!

Introduction: Hello Everyone! We’re officially back from our summer hiatus! I am thrilled to announce that we’re back with an all-new book review! It’s a fiction young adult novel by a prolific writer, Amy Beth Outland. The book is called, “Roll With The Punches.” “Roll With The Punches” Is the latest book in Ms. Outland’s series entitled, “ I’m Not Broken Series.” I met Amy online through a mutual friend. Being that we both share a love for writing and poetry. (Amy also writes poetry). When Amy first began promoting her current book online, I jumped at the chance to get an advanced proof copy of the book to have the opportunity to read her work for the first time. I have to admit right off the bat that I haven’t read any young adult fiction in a very long time. I was nervous to read it for no other reason than that I felt “rusty.” I hadn’t read anything unrelated to my writing endeavors for quite a while. This was one of the first times I looked forward to reading somethi...
