Blog Birthday!

Eight years ago today, I published the first post on my Disability Thinking Blog. It was only a “Test Post” to make sure I had the blog set up right. The first real post came the next day, about Oscar Pistorius. Remember him? Eight years later and I’m still not sure whether it’s better to remember disabled people like him or forget them.

Disability Thinking is a lot less bloggy than it used to be. Now it’s mostly a place for me to park stuff I write for other publications. But I recently started doing mostly weekly lists of disability-related articles to read. And who knows, I might get back to some other semi-regular blogging this year.

Eight years is a much longer time than it feels.
