DUMBO THE ELEPHANT & DISABILITY- THE CHRONIC ELEPHANT BLOG

[hellytheelephant]

Hi Folks,
My latest Blog is the first of a series about DISABILITY. I know this can be a difficult topic when we are chronically ill, and it is something I am on the path to allowing, and accepting.
I hope you enjoy the Blog.​

I really liked this bit:

If you have ever watched the Disney film Dumbo, you will have witnessed some out and out ABLEIST bullying, to the Pachyderm star of the show. Disabled by his huge ears, the titular hero is treated as a freak, and made to jump ( as he thinks), to his death, to entertain a crowd. Miraculously his flapping ears means he can fly.

I am an elephant who can't fly.

Well, we'll look forward to the exploits of Dumbo and how he handles them. He has a pretty big smile at the moment but then he always did. Yours,Lenora
