It's a Great Day, 'cause it's BADD day!

capri0mniI spent yesterday and today writing this piece for "Blogging Against Disablism Day;" It also happens to be about the (Greek) Smith God Hephaestus, so I figure it's doubly appropriate for Beltaine.
The Lame Smith God, and the Two Sides of "Myth."
I wrote (What I thought was) most of it last night. I almost published it right then, but decided to sleep on it, first.
Then, when I woke up, I realized I really did want to expand it in order to talk about how invention of technologies (Hephaestus's sphere) and physical disability really are connected. And so that meant hunting down more links (and almost getting caught up in reading them all, 'cause oh my frog, so interesting).
And then, I was rereading my piece, and that meant fixing typos, and shifting paragraphs around. And now, there's a growing archive of other great articles to read. But now I am starving, 'cause I haven't eaten anything since breakfast, and my eyes are a bit bleary from staring at this monitor. So all that juicy reading (and vlog-watching) will have to wait.
Happy Happy Joy Joy, All!
