As we gear up for ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York #18 April 23-30, I have a new column up at #AbleNews about how #ReelAbilities International does #disability differently --and why that's important.
Hope you like it.
Pls share your thoughts. Thx! LCL xo

THIS JUST IN... Daniel Day-Lewis wouldn’t make #MyLeftFoot today. Admits #disabled people told him not to. “A flimsy justification for something I just wanted to do.”
Signs of progress.

Some words we say. Some we retire.
The Bottom Line? If the R-word is still your idea of an “edgy” punchline in 2025, your comedy’s not bold—it’s basic.

Methinks LA and NYC should engage in a friendly competition here. Try to out access, employ, and incentivize the other.
Not joking.

I wrote about what it means to be #DefinedByDisability — 40 years after a landmark 1985 proclamation. It’s not about nostalgia. It’s about naming, claiming & reframing.
