Make A Change, Invest In Yourself with 21habit  »  Out Impact
by Jackie Lezette (Out Impact on FacebookOut Impact on Twitter) We all have those habits we’d love to kick and routines we’d like to pick up. Some people want to quit smoking, biting their nails, or eating 1000 calories worth of junk food before bed (Ok, maybe that last problem just applies to me). Some people want to work out each morning, floss nightly, or read for an hour everyday. With the technology and applications that we have access to regularly, wouldn’t you think that there would be something to get us on the right track to these goals? ...

'The language of shirkers and scroungers?' Talking about illness, disability and coalition welfare reform - Disability & Society  »  Through Myself and Back Again
Picture: protesters at today's 'Hardest Hit' march, carrying a sign which is partly written in Braille. It reads "We're being ---- by the government."

Photo copyright Lisa Egan.Yesterday's discussion on the BBC's You and Yours was about disability, cuts and welfare reform, and featured Where's the Benefit's own Bendy Girl. Some contributors' comments offered a clear example of how attitudes to disability haven't really changed much since Victorian times - if not before. Some academic research recently published has been talking about how these ...

Adjustments  »  Cornish Dreamer
My belongings are all but packed. When I moved to the lodge, I had little. Now I have even less. This upsets me. It's strange, though. A huge part of me doesn't want any of it at all; not my job, not my "things", not even my car. I do want my bicycle and what few clothes I have left, but the rest... I have contemplated giving it all away. The lot. Just discard the old baggage and start again. I have that opportunity, so what's stopping me? Wanting to be normal? The lodge was never what I expected it would be. ...

¿Mis blogs divididos en etiquetas?  »  Lille Skvat
Hablando con un amigo, me dice que aunque digo no querer etiquetas identitarias y no hacer políticas identitarias, con el cambio de mis blogs, he hecho precisamente esto: tres etiquetas que se corresponden en su opinión a tres identidades.  Mi reacción inmediata fue decir que no es así, que el blog no está dividido en identidades, sino en temas, además de explicar que yo originariamente no quería dividirme en temáticas, y que por eso había creado mi blog de la forma en la que lo había hecho, pero que acabé rindiéndome ante tanta queja después de años de cabezonería.  Ahora, después ...

Standing for justice  »  A World Of Progress
I stood with 48 other people from all across North Carolina as we were arrested for second degree trespass and loud singing.   This was the third “Moral Monday,” in which demonstrators go into the NC Legislature Building and refuse to leave. Two weeks ago, there were just a few demonstrators, and 19 were arrested. The action, led by the NC NAACP, is to protest the avalanche of backward legislation coming out of the General Assembly. Many of us have tried to talk to our legislators and have gotten nowhere. We’re met with lies and half-truths about the laws they’re passing — ...
