Hey everyone, as a disability activist, who recently graduated from UC Berkeley, I decided to create a new blog to discuss disability related Issues of today.  First, I want to talk about the Golden Globe nominated series, The Act.  Did Gypsy Rose Blanchard, featured in this Hulu original show get justice? Gypsy Rose Blanchard, (played by Joey King) is in prison for 10 years for assisting in killing her mother Dee Dee. Dee Dee (played by Patricia Arquette) was an abusive mother forced Gypsy to pretend to be disabled, have an unnecessary breathing tube, feeding tube, and take medicine that were most likely poisonous to her. Was Gypsy Rose justified in helping to murder her mom, or was the court right to incarcerate Gypsy? What are your thoughts?
