Disabledland

Disabledland with Wes of Disabledland is a different kind of Disability awareness. I will be dropping the hard truths of Disabled life. Sometimes solo, often with a guest. I will make you laugh, make you rage, and sometimes it’s going to get dark. But surviving the planet of the Ables isn’t all magic castles and pirate rides, it’s actually Disabledland.

WELCOME TO DISABLEDLAND THE GATES ARE OPEN

 

I’m Wes of Disabledland welcome to my Podcast. I have been Disabled my whole life born with Arthrogryposis. Yes, those are my Cripple Credentials (our word). Disabledland is a different kind of Disability Advocacy, here in Disabledland we talk (and troll) back we take no shit and are not hear to inspire. Disabledland covers the hard truths about living and surviving on the Planet of the Ables. This is in some ways the second Disabledland you will notice the first 18 episodes have original upload dates in the titles. Disabledland started as part of a dream of building something bigger, a full podcast network. It did not work out, no one's fault really.Disabledland is now fully owned and operated by the Disabled for the Disabled. Do you need to be Disabled to be a listener? No but you need to know that Disabledland is here to educate, not to inspire or handhold the Able Bodied. Here in Disabledland we are Disability first. 

Two new episodes a month and I try to avoid hiatus as much as possible.

Trigger warning this episode is dark and deals with death. 
 
Disasters happen some big and some small but you almost always hear about the Disabled being left behind out of negligence or malice. Today I go solo and talk about it.

This week I talk solo about my deep-seated phobia of the passage of time (yes that ticking is supposed to be there) and another installment of WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
Because of technical difficulties I dug into the the Disabledland emergency vault and pulled out an episode recorded a few months ago.
