Laura Hershey]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p>Laura Hershey, a well-known disability rights activist, is dead.  I don&#8217;t even know how to respond, it was so unexpected and I&#8217;d always looked up to her.  I&#8217;d like to do a memorial post with lots of links to her writing and how it influenced me and all that, but for now all I can do is say that she died, I can&#8217;t think beyond that yet.</p>
