When Compromise Goes Too Far!


By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik It’s a new year, a new horizon, and a time when many of us reflect on times past and what lessons can be gleaned from it. A lot of us have endured more than a typical amount of heartbreak in the last year, and most of the heartbreak we have suffered, […]
Only In 2020…


By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik “Only in 2020!” How refreshing will it be to not say that every damn day anymore? I should probably knock on wood though.

William Shatner is No Captain Kirk to the Disability Community!


By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik It brings me no joy, after my last article about Sia’s insulting of the neurodivergent community, to again be writing about a celebrity choosing to use their influence to harm the disability community.

By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik WARNING: This article contains harsh criticisms that may not be easy to stomach for fragile, nondisabled people, as well as emotional, possibly triggering material for those who have been traumatized by the stigma of disability.

As the Clock Keeps Ticking the Soul of the Nation Hangs in the Balance


By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik It’s been nearly 48 hours since the last U.S. polling locations closed on November 3rd and the fascist dictator installed in the White House holds a knife to the throat of democracy.

The Election Result Countdown and Preparing for Impending War


By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik Some of us have predicted a fascist, Hitleresque takeover of our government since our current President’s election four years ago.

Resistors Need to Be Willing to Fight for the Disability Community Too – Enough Hypocrisy!


By Kristen “SuperCrip” Milefchik If that title caught your attention, good, because I swear, it’s extraordinarily difficult to get people to look at anything that isn’t a meme or a joke anymore.

Pissed Off About Trump’s Taxes and How the Bigger Problem They Represent Is Getting Ignored


By Kristen Milefchik It’s old news, I know, now that the first presidential debate has passed and stirred up new anger, especially at Trump’s refusal to denounce white supremacy.

What I Learned from Feedback on Ryan Knight and Third-Party Voting Article That Was on Ringside Report Last Week!

Embracing Trust Over Control in an Age of Chaos


By Kristen “Super Crip” Milefchik It’s hard to relinquish control when you’ve spent the majority of your life trying to fully grasp it, but recently I’m finding that there’s a limit to how much of it is a good thing.

It’s Nursing Homes’ Turn to Die!


By Kristen “Super Crip” Milefchik While disability rights and social commentary tend to be a major theme in my writing, I feel like lately there’s always a Trump-era impending doom threat stealing the national spotlight.

Resistance Burnout


By Kristen “Super Crip” Milefchik When I first became active on Twitter, after the start of the pandemic, it felt like heaving a sigh of relief.

True, False, or Somewhere in Between? Hyper Partisanship and the Subjectivity of Truth


By Kristen “Super Crip” Milefchik In recent times, especially this election year, it’s been common to hear accusations of lying hurled and ricocheting all around – one side is always accusing the other of it and likewise, the other side is saying the very accusation is a lie that is being used to cover the […]
