Librarian Fight Club – are human characters always better than animal characters?

Disabled motherhood – a category error? The infantilisation of disabled parents

Text reads: What should you do if your child yells at a disabled person? (You probably already know the answer...)  Lucy & James are outside - Lucy's sitting in her wheelchair and James has a prosthetic leg strapped on over his clothes. We look suspiciously young - the photo is a couple of years old. You can just about see that Lucy is pregnant. A 3 year old Mainie stands between us looking sun-kissed and happy. We're white with brown hair, Mainie's looks blonde. Images 2 to 9 have this same photo as background. And text is on a background of cream torn paper on all images.

The text reads - 'Disabled! The best word we have' Photo: Lucy is in the garden with Viola on her lap, they're wearing dark brown & mustard. You can just about see her ancient wheelchair.
