Hey everyone! 

Just came across this article in my Facebook news feed, which discusses some interesting terminology like we've discussed in class. We've talked a lot about how we name ourselves, and this blog post discusses it in the context of the #CripTheVote movement. http://www.twothirdsoftheplanet.com/cripthevote-if-you-arent-crippled/?utm_content=buffer87a19&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

For your info, #CripTheVote is a really catchy hashtag that heralds a nonpartisan political movement to get disability on the political agenda, especially in the context of this year's presidential elections.
