Crippie was browsing Pinterest last night when she came across a most interesting site, http://www.dontdismyability.com.au/. It's an Australian disability advocacy campaign... AND CRIKEY IS IT AWESOME. Why are they so awesome? First off, they have a really nifty blog authored by various cripples with a wide array of conditions. Second, they have a fantastic YouTube channel with some really inspiring videos. The best part about "Don't Dis My Ability" is their magazine "Made You Look", which is available as a FREE pdf download HERE. I love everything about it, the information is relevant, uplifting, down to earth, very useful, annndd IT'S REALLY PRETTY. I'm a graphic designer first, cripple second.
Here's a video of their 2011 cover girl Audrey O'Conner preparing for her cover shoot, watch and it tell me it's not crippletastic!
In unrelated guinea pig news... Nellie, Mama, and Frida are in their new cage! Mama and Frida are beyond happy about all the new space and toys. Nellie needs some time to adjust. I'll definitely post some pictures of the new trio tomorrow. In the meantime... bask in the glory of the awesome Aussie Crippies.
Crippie's Tippie - Don't judge a book by it's cover. I know it's super corny but it's true.
Thanks for the good information. I'm going over to nose around in that sight. Anxious to see pictures of the piggies in their new cage.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find and what a beautiful, fun video! Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Today is my lucky day! I found your blog by searching "Profiles" and typing in "Guinea pigs". I have special ability issues also and I love guinea pigs. Most of my blog is about my guinea pig, my rabbit, my husband and our adventures in Maine. My blog is at:
