update on motala the elephant

At the beginning of the summer, I posted about Motala the elephant who has a prosthetic leg. Since then, I've learned more about her story. She now has a real prosthesis instead of just a bag of wood shavings. This is a picture of her from this past February. You can see more pictures and read more about her story here.

Hello all! I hope you've had a relaxing and enjoyable summer. Now that the days are getting shorter and classes have started up again, I'll be back to updating more regularly.

I've got a bunch of posts planned, including an accessibility guide to the University of Alberta, ableism in volunteering, and an inside look at inclusive education, so stay tuned! In the meantime, if you happen to be on the U of A campus, stop by APIRG in HUB Mall to pick up a copy of their just-released zine for new students, including an article by yours truly.
