Heidi Janz Video

Yesterday I watched this show on TV about Heidi Janz, someone I know who has a lot to say about what it means to have a disability and what it means to be a human being. I did an interview with Heidi previously on this blog.

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.

Motala the elephant lives in Thailand and has been using this old-school prosthetic leg since 2005. It's just a bag filled with wood shavings.

Hey all. Sorry things have been a bit slow around here lately- it's finally begun to seem a bit like summer, and I've been enjoying the weather (and the end of classes for the year!). I also have a couple other projects on the go, which I will keep you posted on. Regular updates will be back soon.
