Film Challenge judge, @markpovinelli , is starring in the one-man show “The Return of Benjamin Lay” in London and it’s getting rave reviews! This show is a fascinating story based on the life of Benjamin Lay, a Little Person who is best known for his anti-slavery activism and dramatic protests. The show runs at the Finborough Theatre @finborough till July 8th so get your tickets while you can!

Ableism inverts the simple fact that disability is a normal and ubiquitous feature of the human experience.

Thank you to everyone who attended the #DisabilityWrites picket! Community advocacy & power is at the core of disability history & it was remarkable to see it demonstrated yesterday. The more we are seen by industry the more impact & authenticity we will enjoy. See you next time!

My friend @SFdirewolf, who you met on the #UnitedShades disability episode, had some awful health crises last year which led to significant expenses because America’s healthcare system is also awful. Alice is a firebrand, truthteller, & community leader. gofund.me/acc13f11
