Education
I used a word play about polio. Then, I used a quote from Star Wars actor James Earl Jones about Marilyn Monroe. Next, I talked about finding humor in difficult situations with gallows humor.
In this week's RITE OF PASSAGE EXPERIENCES or ROPE, I talked about finding gallows humor and power in Polish jokes. But my dad made light of me falling at my expense. I also talked about finding solidarity and resilience from shared experiences. After turning cripples into “crips”, the common denominator became a rallying cry. In another situation, “crips” became a positive part of the surgical scar identities some people with disabilities had. I finished the episode with another gallows humor strike forward.
