Message from your friendly neighbourhood moderator 2 Feb 2013 | 07:41 pm
This post, the one about Misandry being a myth. I am done. Done watching hateful messages come into my inbox, hateful messages against the kind of people who – shock horror – I actually might be frien...
‘Coming out’ with a disability 31 Jan 2013 | 05:01 pm
I came out to my bosses yesterday: I had to explain to them that I’m deaf. I hadn’t had the opportunity to discuss it before – I didn’t have an interview for the position, and there’s never any time t...
