  • Summary

  • CW: This episode discusses the misguided belief that disabled lives are not worth living or preserving. If now is not a good time to be in that headspace, please have a wonderful day listening to something else <3

    Animorph topics include: the Auxiliary Animorphs (obviously!), no wheelchair ramps at the yeerk pool, yeerks/taxxons/gedds/nothlits/oatmeal-poisoned-yeerks as allegories for disability, Vecolism, Loren as the only good amnesia representation in all of literature, morphing technology as a miracle medical cure, and the incessant desire to morph into a grizzly bear to beat ableist doctors over the head with your own severed arm. 

    Disability topics include: strokes, POTS, EDS, MCAS, hypothyroidism, mono, seizures, spinal taps, mystery diagnoses, invisible illnesses, deadly allergies, COVID, brain fog, and several doctors who really should have been beaten over the head with a severed arm by a grizzly bear.

    Read Shannon's (AMAZING!) short story in the "Nothing Without Us" anthology, which does NOT end with a doctor getting beaten to death by a grizzly bear with a severed arm but I promise you you'll like it anyways:  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51796332-nothing-without-us
