Carnivals new and upcoming, and the second annual BADD

Just a few hours left to contribute to the disability carnival at Ballastexistenz on the topic of "What Box?" Amanda says:

Remember it’s fine to submit other people’s work (including even if you don’t yourself blog), it’s fine to submit stuff whether the person has been linked before or not, whether what the person has written was written a long time ago or just recently, whether you think the person would have submitted it already, etc. etc. All the submissions so far have been really interesting and I’m looking forward to seeing more. I’d been planning to look around for possible entries myself, but I’m sick and I keep falling asleep in the middle of writing sentences, so I don’t think I’ll be getting around to that, so again please submit whatever you think applies.

The carnival will be up on Thursday.

Diary of a Goldfish is hosting the second annual Blogging Against Disablism Day on May 1. Don't let the terminology scare you: "disablism" is an alternative word for "ableism." Last year's amazing results were one of the reasons the Disability Blog Carnival was started -- so many people out there with experiences and thoughts to share, hundreds of bloggers popping up to incorporate disability issues into their views on social justice and experiences of bodily difference. Contributing is as easy as writing something relevant on your own blog around the 1st, and then leaving a link at Goldfish's so she can include it in the round-up. Anyone can contribute. And for that matter, if there's someone out there without a blog who would like to send me their guest post to put up here for the occasion, I'd be thrilled to do it so long as the topic is in some way "Blogging Against Disablism."

Belledame has The 36th Carnival of Feminists up at Fetch Me My Axe, in three parts. It's enormous and wonderful.

Sylvia at The Anti-Essentialist Conundrum is looking for submissions for the next Carnival of Creative Writing. Deadline is May 2. Check at Sylvia's for further details.

Jen Burke at Transcending Gender has many many posts just lately that include disability issues, plus the latest International Carnival of Pozitivities.

And up at Double Consciousness, the latest Erase Racism Carnival.
