a post of stuff so I can shut tabs.
* White Collar BB I didn't realise there was one but TJ pointed it out. Will hopefully get some time for reading now the market is over.
* Cat's Claws This is a blog of a dear friend who is majorly in to nail polish. If you like looking at awesome nail designs and pretty polish you should follow her.
* Eye On Hawkeye Atol Comics blog has a bunch of write ups about Fraction/Aja/Hollingsworth Hawkeye. I love how he points out why things are laid out the way they are and how movement and time are conveyed. I've really enjoyed the ones I can load. There are slight spoilers if you havent read the comic. If you haven't, what are you waiting for??!!
* Buzz Feed's 24 reasons why you should be reading Matt Fraction's Hawkeye Also has some spoilers but yeah. It's awesome. Read it.
* Fibro Fibers kickstarter I really wanted to back this to the level where I got a ball of yarn. We haven't had the money though. its beautiful colours and I've been on the email list for a long time. It's good to support others out there trying to be crafty with chronic illness.
* Invisibility out of my control Graeme Innes (previous Disability Commissioner before they ditched the position) writes about how people with disability are treated as invisible.
* Stella writes that Disability simulations should be left in the 90s I don't agree with everything in this but the main point about the campaign is important. Speaking out against disability barriers is important. I do however think that the idea of someone spending time in a wheelchair does actually make them aware of the barriers that they wouldn't already see and surely that helps. Someone with no mobility issues and who has never known anyone close who has them would not notice the width of doors, the absence of accessible toilets or how many places have steps. I mean they would probably notice a flight of stairs but those smaller changes in level and single steps in to shops are everywhere and you don't notice them until you have a reason to. An hour or a day in a chair/not talking/what ever doesn't give any real insight to all the struggles that a non adaptive society impose on people with disabilities but it can make someone more aware of some of the biggest issues.
* Woollywormhead's new pattern is cool. I want to make it in my handspun
* The Girls In Aerospace: Vintage Photos Of Rocking Women Working On Planes
