A less-than-inspiring exploration of disability from someone who is actually disabled. Heavy on the sarcasm, Bad Attitudes explores the reality of being disabled, how non-disabled people can become better advocates and allies, disability representation in pop culture, and the ways in which disability permeates society. Young or sensitive ears beware. N (always) SFW.

Some people think it's reasonable that potentially passing on a disability be a criminal offense. Sounds a little too familiar, doesn't it?

On episode 3 and 4 I found myself anticipating what the words were going to be and wanting to yell BINGO when they got said. Disability talk from a disability perspective. Vital and needed.
makes episodes about trans rights but then calls menstruation a "female thing" and how men shouldn't talk about it. bodies and menstruation aren't gendered. not everyone who menstruates is a woman, not all women menstruate and yes, some men menstruate and have every right to talk about it. menstruation is not a female thing, it's a human thing. there is no such thing as "the" female body. any woman, cis or trans or intersex, has a female body. it's so varied. and some people whose bodies you're ... more
Whenever I’m tired of explaining how my disability and chronic illness impact my life, I share this podcast.
My diagnoses are all hidden, so while we share many experiences, there are also many areas where we diverge.
I really enjoy hearing someone else’s perspective on matters too. This show has broadened my understanding tremendously.
Thank you!
Thank you for your bad attitude. I’m tired of the huge gap between the ableist understanding and the lived experience of a disabled person. Why should I have to accept ableist pity as all I’m worthy of socially? Why should I have to apologize for the way my body works? Why should I be the one to feel ashamed at work when it’s OTHER PEOPLE that don’t seem to grasp how diverse the human body and experience truly is? Thank you for speaking unapologetic truth about what being human really means.
I absolutely love Laura's short form podcast. She is extremely insightful and well spoken, covering all manner of important topics concerning her experiences as a member of the disabled community. I share this podcast with folks all the time and definitely recommend it to everyone.
