Crazy ex-girlfriend. [videorecording] / by Bloom, Rachel,1987-actor.; Champlin, Donna Lynne,actor.; Gardner, Pete,actor.; Rodriguez, Vincent,actor.; Warner Home Video (Firm),distributor.;
Rachel Bloom, Donna Lynne Champlin, Vincent Rodriguez Iii, Pete Gardner, Vella Lovell, Gabrielle Ruiz.When last we left our intrepid and at least slightly nutty heroine, Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), she was at her wedding, abandoned at the altar by her obsession, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III). In that moment, Rebecca found herself in a cliffhanger. Literally, because she, like, almost flung herself off a cliff. Instead, she found an unexpected well of strength inside herself and finally stood up to the father who abandoned her, flanked by her fierce girl squad. Phew. It was quite the wedding. So what's a girl to do now? Why, get revenge, of course. Because Josh Chan, love of her life? He's crossed over to the dark side - ergo, he must pay, unless, of course, he sees the error of his ways and realizes he and Rebecca are meant to be. But will he? It might be a bit tough to figure out, since he ran off the day of the wedding to be a priest. (Did we mention it was quite the wedding?) There's also the matter of Rebecca's friends and how far they will follow her attraction now that it's turned possibly just a touch fatal. Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin), now in training to be a legal eagle, has to decide how far to walk the gangplank for her cookie, Rebecca. Meanwhile, Valencia (Gabrielle Ruiz) and Heather (Vella Lovell) will be facing giant obstacles and challenges in their personal lives. Hey, it's not like anyone in West Covina ever just gets to be happy. In season three, we will also spend more time with a new man in Rebecca's orbit, mega-WASP Nathaniel Plimpton III (Scott Michael Foster), who will collide with her like a very handsome meteor. He may seem all alpha on the outside, but he has his own daddy issues to work out. See above - no one in the Cov just gets to be happy right away. In other WeCo news, supercouple White Josh (David Hull) and Darryl (Pete Gardner) will be challenged by Darryl's baby fever. Will Darryl give up his yen for a baby Darryl or Darrylette? And how will Rebecca be entangled in their plans? And what about Rebecca's mental health? Will she finally turn her attention to what's fueling her romantic fire? This and more, accompanied by a bajillion songs and dances, coming up next on season three of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.14A.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1.

Beautiful people : my thirteen truths about disability / by Blake, Melissa(Blogger),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Well-known disability activist and social media influencer, Melissa Blake, offers a frank, illuminating memoir and a call to action for disabled people and allies. In the summer of 2019, journalist Melissa Blake penned an op-ed for CNN Opinion. A conservative pundit caught wind of it, mentioning Blake's work in a YouTube video. What happened next is equal parts a searing view into society, how we collectively view and treat disabled people, and the making of an advocate. After a troll said that Blake should be banned from posting pictures of herself, she took to Twitter and defiantly posted three smiling selfies, all taken during a lovely vacation in the Big Apple: "I wanted desperately to clap back at these vile trolls in a way that would make a statement, not only about how our society views disabilities, but also about the toxicity of our strict and unrealistic beauty standards. Of course I knew that posting those selfies wasn't going to erase the nasty names I'd been called and, the chances were, they would never even see my tweet, but that didn't matter. I wasn't doing it for them; I was doing it for me and every single disabled person who has been bullied before, online and in real life. When people mock how I look, they're not just insulting me. They're insulting all disabled people. We're constantly told that we're repulsive and ugly and not good enough to be seen. This was me pushing back against that toxic, ableist narrative. For the first time, I felt like I was doing something empowering, taking back my power and changing the story." Her tweet went viral, attracting worldwide media attention and interviews with the BBC, USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, PEOPLE magazine, Good Morning America and E! News. Now, in her manifesto, Beautiful People, Blake shares her truths about disability, writing about (among other things): the language we use to describe disabled people, ableism, microaggressions, and their pernicious effects, what it's like to live in a society that not only isn't designed for you, but actively operates to render you invisible, her struggles with self image and self acceptance, the absence of disabled people in popular culture, why disabled people aren't tragic heroes. Blake also tells the stories of some of the heroes of the disability rights movement in America, in doing so rescuing their incredible achievements from near total obscurity. Highlighting other disabled activists and influencers, Blake's work is the calling card of a powerful voice -- one that has sparked new, different, better conversations about disability."--
