When I got up to the WTRC, though, the poster was gone! Denise had talked to Wendy. She didn't even get through the whole discussion -- she just described the poster (Wendy is blind so would never have seen it) and Wendy said she totally understood the objections, et voila, the poster she is removed. Now, with any luck, if there are further copies in other clinics, the advocate's office will be able to take care of that.
Several of the other women in the group today had heard me talking to the chaplain intern last week and they said they'd not felt comfortable with the poster either, so I got a lot of props for taking on the system and getting the thing removed.
KAPLAH!

I used to carry a sharpie with me most days up there just to correct spelling and grammar errors.. not sure what I would have done to an entire poster.
Also, just for my own poor mind's sake: am I missing a Monty Python segue into the photos here? They're lovely, and obviously from your trip last summer, but did you take them, or are they from your brother, etc.? "And now, a few photos from Venice." ;)
A coworker and I were talking about my lack of hesitancy to speak up/write letters of complaint or advocacy, and how hard that is for those in certain communities. He wondered whether my ease in doing so implied a sense of entitlement. I told him that I don't think so. Rather I see it as an obligation to do something others might want to do but can't for one reason or another.
Off that topic, I love the photos.
Thanks for the props on the photos. I'm pretty proud of some of the ones I managed to take.
