Right now we are in Staycation 2012 – the five days before my husband starts his new job. Yesterday we went to the Paris Theater in New York City (one of my very favorite movie theaters on the planet.) The movie is about the relationship between a parapalegic man and his caretaker. And it is BRILLIANT. It is one of… Read more →
A few weeks ago I woke up to the news that my wedding bouquet was on Offbeat Bride’s Monday Montage. Later that afternoon, a friend of mine told me that she’d seen my bouquet on The Mary Sue. Two days after that Corey Doctorow showed up on my flickr page and asked if he could put it on Boing Boing,… Read more →
The internet has imploded over something stupid that some random guy said. But this time it’s something I legitimately feel the need to comment on. Patton Oswalt thinks that Daniel Tosh doesn’t need to be bashed like this. Normally, I think the internet has a high incidence of people getting really upset for reasons that can’t make much impact on… Read more →

When I was a child, fathers day was hurtful. It was a reminder that I didn’t have something other people had. Today, I look at Father’s Day… Read more →
A discovery this past week has made me realize that we’ve got a regular feature here at Eliminating the Impossible. There are not one, not two, but THREE reality tv shows presently featuring disabled participants. To save you from having to actually watch the shows yourselves (or maybe you just having snark to add along with me) I’ll be commenting… Read more →
So, The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender was this month. I went. I worked a lot. It was amazing! Legends told me their life stories, I danced until 4am two nights in a row, I developed a routine I’m absurdly excited about, I got to spend a lot of time with my mom and MARINKA THE QUEEN OF THE AMAZONS… Read more →
Ten years ago I attended a study abroad program for teenagers at Oxford University. Ten years ago I got my first white cane. I decided after much thought that it didn’t seem to be such a smart idea to go by myself to a foreign country without some kind of adaptive aid, and while I had never seen myself as… Read more →
