About Us

The Squeaky Wheel

Created by Steven Verdile in 2021, and fueled by our continuously growing team of disabled contributors, The Squeaky Wheel is the first-ever satire publication that focuses on the experience of having a disability. It challenges common misconceptions, highlights absurdity, criticizes imbalances, and does it all with humor. Bringing you disability satire for disabled people and by disabled people, we pride ourselves on our hot takes and creative perspectives.
