I would like to share with you a few thoughts on why I write (dis)ability the way I do on my store. Why do I put the \"dis\" in brackets? Well, if you look at the dictionary definitions of brackets, they all agree that anything in brackets is not essential information in terms of the sentence. So, I think, what I am trying to say is that everyone has ability regardless of any impairment or label that they have been give or that they identify with. We are all, therefore, good at something (probably somethings!) and I feel that everyone should be defined by what they can do, not by what they can't do.<\/p>
Any girl who runs has ability! This is regardless of any impairments they may have, or how curvy or slim they are. For me, the girl in the image I have attached to this post has so much ability it's impossible to quantify! So, in the descriptions my T-Shirts and Tote Bags you will always find (dis)ability written this way. Maybe you will join me?<\/p>","urlTitle":"writing-disability-as-dis-ability","url":"\/blog\/writing-disability-as-dis-ability\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/writing-disability-as-dis-ability\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/diversity-designs.teemill.com\/blog\/writing-disability-as-dis-ability\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1561545239,"updatedAt":1561545617,"publishedAt":1561549217,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":41111,"name":"Diversity Designs"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5d134b4400d807.52285328.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5d134b4400d807.52285328.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/5d134b4400d807.52285328.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":null,"metaDescription":null,"keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":8664,"title":"Black Friday Bundles available NOW!","url":"\/blog\/black-friday-bundles-available-now\/","urlTitle":"black-friday-bundles-available-now","division":41111,"description":"Busy Life Black Friday bundles are available now!
