Koufax nominations
The awards aren't by any means final, and I don't expect to win, but I wanted to acknowledge that The Gimp Parade was nominated (along with dozens of others) as Best Single Issue Blog, and the post "Until every single penny is gone" was nominated for Best Post. I'm honored that several people thought of me for the awards.
And I encourage everyone to check out the full list of nominees for each category. It's a great way to discover blogs you should be reading but don't know about yet. I believe my blog and Writhe Safely are the only ones dedicated to disability issues to be nominated, but there are some health blogs, women's health blogs, feminist blogs and more general topic blogs that write good stuff relevant to or directly about disability politics. Among those nominated across the various categories, I recommend:
Woman of Color Blog
Writhe Safely
Echidne of the Snakes
Daily Darfur
Queer Dewd
Under the Best Post and Best Series categories, there's some fantastic blogging, with links to specific posts of excellence provided. And for some laughs, Best Humorous Post. Check it out.

Congratulations!
"Until every single penny is gone" is a great post, covering an important, neglected issue.

Wow. Thanks for the recommendation. And thanks for what you do here. Without your link, I don't know if I would've found you.
And now I've found you too. Thanks for the nod, and much good luck. Maybe next year the Koufax will have a proper disability category because this activism has a lot to offer discourses of marginalization.
Congrats Twinner!
That's a great post.
FlawedPlan: Yeah, it'd be great to have a disability-specific category, though no interest group has that in the Koufax awards yet. For now, I'm content that disability is seen as an issue on par with race and reproductive rights and all the others. That's a bit of progress in itself.
Kay, Congratulations!
