This community is made up of a passel of awesome people, so let's celebrate our paid time by having an Open Thread for introductions, pictures, links, and general chatting. Post recs of movies, books, fanfic, or other media that have positive portrayals of disability. Post pictures, vids, art, or icons. Say a little something about yourself and how your day or week has gone. <br /><br />I'll get us started with this amazing video of a man, Michael DiMartino signing and dancing to the Britney Spears song "Womanizer". The video warns that "some images may not be suitable for children." There is also text at the beginning that says, 'Womanizer: a man that uses women for his own "needs"', by which I interpret that the vidder is subverting the word.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z1Yw3bKniFM&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z1Yw3bKniFM&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />The direct link to the YouTube clip is: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Yw3bKniFM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Yw3bKniFM</a><br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://access-fandom.dreamwidth.org/7310.html#cutid1">lyrics to the song under the cut</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=access_fandom&ditemid=7310" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
