In some languages, like old Welsh for example, there’s no distinction made between blue and green—they both fall into a kind of “grue” category.

I’ll be reading Grue’s memoir to try to understand disability better, in large part due to Fox’s thoughtful — and thought-provoking — words.

It also struck me that Grue suffers from spinal muscular atrophy; someone close to me discovered when she was pregnant that she had the gene for that condition.
