Today on Scratch That we chat with one of the most beloved couples on the internet โ Squirmy and Grubs! (Also known as Shane and Hannah Burcaw๐ค) They talk with us about what it's like to share their personal lives with an enormous following, how they cope with internet hate and real life ignorance about disability/relationships, why they wrote their new book Interabled: True Stories of Love and Disability, the perspective they've gained through their experience with IVF, and loads more! There was much giggling. There were sobering truths. There was a story about the time Hannah ate edibles and then thought a real life witch approached them on the street. We're so excited to share this one with you๐
Tune in to hear us talk about:
๐คก Little Shane and Little Hannah as two rule-following class clowns.
๐งโ๐ฆผThe shame Shane had about his disability when he was younger and the coping mechanisms he developed to be seen as fully human.
๐ Why we think so many people struggle to understand how disability, care giving, and romantic relationships can co-exist.
๐ฃ Why Shane and Hannah continue to share their stories publicly, even when their comment sections fill up with ignorance and hate.
