I said something ableist to someone I admire
Welcome to What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast Season 6 Episode 32, “Disability Consciousness"
In this episode, I reflect on the time I said something ableist to someone I admire, the drummer in deerhoof, what I might say (or not) now that I've spent some time working on my disability consciousness. I hope I might come up with something better. Also, Botox, falling and the first law of success, "Do You!"
Disability Consciousness
One time I ate with deerhoof and I said something ableist
Because I didn't yet have disability consciousness

Falling
I have been falling a lot. One time I was flicking the switch in the bathroom and i ended up facing the wall with my back to the toilet
Deerhoof Show
I want to go see deerhoof in San Jose at the ritz in October, on october 22
Should I take my wheelchair?
Do you want to meet me there?
They are playing San Francisco the night b4 but I like going to things in San Jose
Black T Shirt
I had Botox
It’s quite a lot of injections
The nurse talks to you and the doctors say “123 poke”
In my trapezius- shoulder area, in my pectoral area, in my bicep and forearm
Of course I was wearing a white tee shirt not a black one
Note to self: wear a black t shirt for Botox
The injections get stronger over a week and then they last about 6 weeks before trailing off
I showed them my puppet video In the kitchen

Happy Birthday Nathan
I said something
One time I ate with deerhoof and i said something ableist
I didn't have disability consciousness
one time I ate brunch with the member of deerhoof at a cafe called Brown on the lower East Side
I was dating a woman who knew them
The drummer appeared to have something like torrette's syndrome
He said things and made sounds and physical motions that were Kind of like tourettes
I didn't have a lot of disability consciousness back then
I think I asked him, “Hey man, what's wrong with you?”
The guitar player was also there and he just giggled
It was awkward
I had lived with someone already who had Tourette’s syndrome so I recognized the signs but lacked disability consciousness to form my question properly
I think if I had it over again I would probably not ask anything
Or I could say what I observed, like something like, “I notice that you are moving a lot and making sounds.”
And maybe that would be enough to get whatever answer I felt that I needed
It's kind of like asking someone that you observed many rolls of flesh and pendulous thighs and expecting them to tell you they’re fat.
I certainly wouldn't ask him Hey man what's wrong with you
I think if I had it over I wouldn't ask him anything
