Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

Lately I'm beginning to wish I had a more academic background in disability. I can see so many ways it would be useful for my job.

I've been finding links from social media like this which I lifted the list of disability models from -- particularly Critical Disability Studies and the social justice model of disability -- to include in a work e-mail (the work e-mail was a thing of beauty that I probably spent too much effort on especially because it will never have the audience it deserves).

And this was written four years ago and is articulating ideas directly relevant to my job role and which I'm only beginning to fumble toward because I'm starting from first principles.
