Every little thing: December 2014

http://alisonpiepmeier.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 24, 2014. The holiday isn't simply shit-laden. It's also got some support and laughter, too. Celebrating life, friendship, and donuts. My Christmas Eve column for the City Paper. Saturday, December 20, 2014. I'm in a weird emotional space currently, so I was very tempted to title this post "Holiday shit." But I don't know that I want to write about holiday shit. Do I? So here are some holiday pictures. Maybelle and Nonni playing at the Cookeville children's museum. I've written about ...

International Alliance of Writers for Down syndrome: June 2012

http://t21writersalliance.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 13, 2012. 8220;From Grief to Celebration”, by Margaret (Gary) Bender. Reviewed by Lisa Nicholson. To read about a child older than my own, out into the future that felt so intimidating, was a. Remarkable moment and gift. Then Gary did something extraordinary herself. She took the content from her posts. And compiled them into a book about her family’s journey and called it From Grief to Celebration, How One Family Learned to Embrace the Gift of Down Syndrome. Both things that some of the ...

Every little thing: Pictures! Of super wonderful scholarly friends.

http://alisonpiepmeier.blogspot.com/2015/06/pictures-of-super-wonderful-scholarly.html

Monday, June 15, 2015. Of super wonderful scholarly friends. Go look them up. I had a great time at the SDS. I'm in love with George and Rachel, above. George, of courses, is my NRP. Rachel is my xo. Amber and I. Because we've done this twice, it's now what we do. Her friend-whose-name-I-can't-remember, and I were going. For a walk and discovered a traveling museum about the Disability. Our all eating dinner together. I'm so glad! Except that George wasn't. Meanwhile, how do you think Maybelle was?

Every little thing: June 2015

http://alisonpiepmeier.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 22, 2015. First, I want to acknowledge that this blog doesn't give attention to what this city needs right now, the acknowledgment of terrorism and fear. Here's one of the things I've written about this. The ending: the tumor has stayed the same size, or there is a good chance it is shrinking. The medical team was very happy with how it's doing. I feel like shit. Damn, I don't want to have to swear so much in order to feel like a human. Am I mostly angry or mostly terrified? Other components...

Every little thing: Day 4 of the Society for Disability Studies conference

http://alisonpiepmeier.blogspot.com/2015/06/day-4-of-society-for-disability-studies.html

Saturday, June 13, 2015. Day 4 of the Society for Disability Studies conference. This conference has been great. First of all, there are a lot of impressive people who are impressive for a reason: they are super-cool and offer up fantastic ideas. George Estreich. Was on a panel that was being moderated by Rosemarie Garland-Thomson. And literally every person on the panel was interesting. Often at academic panels there's one. Person that you kindly applaud for, but whose presentation is "Eh.". And I had d...

Invincible Spring: The lessons she teaches: on time #WDSD15

http://my-invincible-spring.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-lessons-she-teaches-on-time.html

With enough laughter, love, tenacity of spirit, and home cooking to get through many a long, dark winter. Saturday, 21 March 2015. The lessons she teaches: on time #WDSD15. I'm writing this post in honour of World Down Syndrome Day. Last year, when I wrote this. I hadn't even met my daughter yet, but I was full of excitement and anticipation for what was to come, all the challenges and achievements alike. Exactly what it was. Still, sometimes it's hard not to compare her to the seemingly arbitrary, stand...
