Bill Peace was the first disabled writer to introduce me to the notion of “The Bad Cripple,” the title of a blog he kept. He did something remarkable there. He told the truth. He wrote with astonishing wit and rage against ableist institutions. Alongside disabled satirists like Ingrid Tischer and Danielle Perez, Bill declined to play the role of the good cripple, the inspirational cripple, the super-crip. The company of these disabled writers and thinkers gave me liberty to perform as the nondisabled character, Tipsy Tullivan, on YouTube for five years. Here is a video titled “EZ Breezy Assisted Suicide” featuring Tipsy and Bill Peace.
