Most of the plastic we put in the recycling bin just ends up in landfill, so I wanted to support a company that is doing something about that. Their website says that in 5 years the company recycled 100 million bottles with 40% of those being recovered from waterways. Each blanket can be hand woven from up to 300 recycled plastic bottles. These blankets are made using 100% recycled plastic. The colour I got is called aqua but it’s actually a standard green shade. I love sitting in the yard and relaxing with the dogs on it. I asked for this picnic blanket for Christmas and it has come in very handy. #DisabilityReads #DisabilityBooks #DisabilityPride #DisabledAndProud #lovealinta I’m always looking for more fiction written by disabled people, so if you have any Own Voices recommendations please let me know. I’m not autistic so wasn’t sure how good this representation was, but I asked some autistic friends and they loved it, so I am adding this one to the list. And I also have a romance, The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. This is a morally grey disabled character who is not treated as less by his friends because of his disabilities. Then there’s Kaz Brekker in Six Of Crows who uses a cane and has PTSD. It’s set in a world like the three musketeers with the main character having POTS. My first recommendation is the book in the picture, One For All by Lillie Lainoff. #OwnVoices authors understand what it’s like to live in an ableist world and can show that in their stories whilst also showing disabled pride at the same time. I do however have a couple of recommendations for books with disability rep that are written by authors with those disabilities.

I just want books where disabled characters can have a full character arc (like other characters), without harmful stereotypes and tropes. Other ableist things often seen are worlds where no disabled people exist, or where magic cures all disabilities, or where villains have scarring and facial differences, or where the disability is erased by another power (like a blind person being able to ‘see’ with their mind), or where the disability makes the character extra special (often seen with Autistic characters being geniuses but then no representation of anything else to do with autism). The disabled character tends to be a side character who is only used to teach the main non-disabled character a lesson. Fantasy books in particular have a certain brand of ableism that many authors like to replicate. Disabled people tend to be completely ignored, or any representation we do have is harmful.
