Or Blue Lily, or back at the Ms. Boards before they imploded I was Blue Girl. Amp has asked me to guest blog for a month and I&#8217;m thrilled to be a contributor here. My blog is <a href=\"http:\/\/thegimpparade.blogspot.com\/\"><em>The Gimp Parade<\/em><\/a>, which has been linked to occasionally here.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a single issue blog about disability from a disability rights perspective, but since disability issues are as diverse as topics that relate to feminism there&#8217;s a healthy bit of variation to what I write about, I hope. I do like to look at books and movies from a disability studies perspective, and most recently I&#8217;ve been sharing my personal adventures with the health care system and Medicare politics. I look forward to discussing all these things with <em>Alas<\/em> readers and learning what I can from this much larger and more talkative audience.<\/p>\n<p>Check out my blogroll if disability issues interest you. There&#8217;s been an explosion of disability bloggers in the past year or two and I&#8217;m just one of the squeaky wheels. For example, there are dozens of bloggers with autism representing themselves and their ways of thinking not just from a disability rights perspective, but as a unique cultural experience too.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, thanks, Amp, for the invite! I hope what I write about is of interest here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Kay Olson, though most people in the blogworld know me as Blue.
