This is a blog devoted to the comic strip "Pluggers", about the "80 percent of humanity who unceremoniously keep plugging along -- balancing work, play and family life." This strip is also described as "America’s first interactive, reader-participation comic." That sounds like most of us, right? And our fellow Americans are sending in the ideas. So let's see how it matches up with reality, shall we?
What is Ableist Language?
Ableist Word Profile at FWD
This is a good place to start. It's an ongoing series.
The posts are "101" so feel free to ask questions, as long as they're not "FREE SPEECH!!!!" or "Why does this matter?"
Anyone commenting here who uses such words to describe me or the comics will get a warning and if they continue, their comments will be deleted.
Please respect me at my blog.
It's not censorship, it's my personal blog. I am not the government. And the internet is not the USA.
If you must, go to your own blog, or to twitter or facebook and use it. You're free to do so. Just not here.
Yes, I have used ableist language here in the past. Not proud of it, but I'm not going to go back and edit all the posts where I did. It's important to see how I've grown as a person.
This is an R Word free blog.

A Plugger's "icemaker?" Now they're just raggin' on fifty year old advances in technology, although I guess their true gripe is with a "highfalutin' contraption" that is commonly found in roadside motels, and probably assembled in a factory by a fellow Plugger for that matter, but I digress.
Just a thought--what would Pluggers have been like if it were written in the 1950s? They'd have probably railed against such "newfangled thingamajigs" as the touch tone telephone, the polio vaccine and the civil rights movement.
