 Fighting ableism is something we can get behind, even if Firefox's spellcheck doesn't recognize either the U.S.ian spelling "ableism" or the U.K. spelling "ablism" as a word. However, we can also get behind the idea that some people [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/341.html?thread=378709#t378709|take it too far]]. Nor [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/341.html?thread=683605#t683605|are we too hot]] on the acronym "TAB," meaning "temporarily able-bodied." Fighting ableism is something we can get behind, even if Firefox's spellcheck doesn't recognize either the U.S.ian spelling "ableism" or the U.K. spelling "ablism" as a word.

It was about "[[http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/personal-essays/the-spoon-theory-written-by-christine-miserandino/|spoon theory]]," with some Gentlefailers grousing about people who extended the metaphor to mean "out of energy," and others grousing about special snowflakes whose frequent use of the metaphor indicated that they were best avoided. Discussion about "spoons" [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/341.html?thread=191829#t191829|continued on page four]]. However, the biggest source of ableism wank for us in the beginning was [[w/page/46372366/Vividcon%20and%20Ableism|Vividcon]].+Ableism discussion [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/341.html?thread=853#t853|began on the first page of the our very first post, three threads down from the top]].
