A Day in the Life of a Disabled Teenager (personal/inspirational post) - by Simone
Simone's posts are always inspirational, and this one is no exception - it even goes above and beyond the usual level. With videos and pics and graphics, she lets us have a peek into her everyday life, the challenges she faces as a disabled teen, and the way she manages to overcome them. I was in tears by the end, and I felt ashamed of myself for giving up so easily on things that don't even necessitate a fraction of the willpower Simone puts into everything she does. Seriously, read this post and watch the videos. You'll see your (maybe privileged) life in a new light.

Things Bloggers Should Worry More (and Less) About (advice post) - by Jen
Jen has an ongoing post series called The Lazy Blogger's Toolkit (😂), where she shares her 10-years-of-blogging-wisdom with us. This time she dissects blogging platforms, posting schedule, followers, page loading, analytics and more, but her overall message is "think about and define YOUR blogging goals" and "stop worrying about doing it all". We never hear it often enough.

That's all for now folks! See you the first Sunday of every month for more!
Thank you for adding me to your list. I will check out the other posts as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post! We never get enough Blogger advice LOL.
DeleteThank you again for sharing my post, Roberta! I'll have to pop over to Mary's blog and check out her tips. We have already had this discussion before but the new blogger interface is... interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think we never talk enough about those things that everyone has been doing or saying for decades, but that have always been wrong...only, we weren't woke enough to address them back then.
DeleteHaha, "interesting" is the word.
Thanks for sharing these! A few of them are ones I've shared recently too---they were obviously impactful. :-)
ReplyDeleteGoing to go check out the others now...

LOL, they were!
DeleteThank you so much for sharing my post! It really means a lot. That was one of my most favourite posts that I have written - and the reaction to it made every word worth it. Thank you for these other reccomendations too. I'm definitley going to check out Emily's post. I also have more to learn when it comes to ableism, so I'm always eager to learn more about how I can avoid it.
ReplyDeleteYour post meant a lot to me, and I know it will to many other people, so it had to make the rounds. And Emily's was so eye-opening.
DeleteThese all look like worthy posts. :) Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteA varied bunch, but every one of them brings something interesting to the table.
DeleteThank you, I'm well - I hope the nasty Covid subsided for you!
How did I miss Jen's??? lol I'm so far behind on all posts so glad you did this round up.
