Shane Burcaw (he/him) is the author of several award-winning books about disability. He is the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.

Hannah Burcaw (she/her) graduated from Carleton College, where she studied Sociology and Anthropology. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog, which has over 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. Hannah has spoken at prestigious universities and Fortune 500 companies alike about the realities of ableism. On her popular Instagram account, she advocates for acceptance of all people and works to improve the way society thinks about disability.

Shane and Hannah have been together for over four years. They got married in September of 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic in their backyard, with their officiant conducting the ceremony via Zoom. Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.

Shane says, "scuze me while I whip this out!" But, Hannah's giggle at the end said it all!!! You go Shane!! ✌😂

“all of my parts.. all of my mechanics.. work just ✨perfectly✨”

[cookiediangelo]

“Will you give me offspring?” Best line ever

[yesterdaydream]

Shane's sarcastic jokes get me every. time.

[queendhenexplores]

No wonder why hannah love everything about you because you always make her heart smile😊❤

I think you are now my favorite couple to watch on YouTube! I didn’t realized that sometimes it’s already past 2AM here in Seoul, I just keep watching your videos one by one! It’s a lot but I am enjoying it!
I love to see how Hannah look at you Shane and how she laughs at your humor. Shane is so confident to himself and I haven’t sense any insecurities. That is one of the many reasons why Hannah falls inlove with you. Looking forward to see your first offspring together! Keep the love burning! Aja!! 화이팅!

I'm so sorry but when Shane said he could have children I imagined him as the one to be pregnant lmao

[laurafabianmarrero]

Shane looks as he is reffering to "his parts" and "mechanics" while watching wifey
Has me laughing 😆😆😆
You tell them Shane

[miliniumo]

I really appreciate how humorous and respectful/understanding you guys are when answering these questions.
There are so many people that would respond really aggressively and make others feel horrible just for thinking questions like that, so I really appreciate how kind you are when answering such sensitive questions

[shadrachessien]

He made us in His image no matter the disability…..❤

[edgarbrooks]

[kelsjade]

[michaelmorehouse]

The world could be a better place with more like you.

[jeannine]

Sooo, when I see Hannah start a bit of a grin, that’s the only way I can tell that Shane is joking. Lol. So funny!

[paige_noel]

Shane's sense of humor is the only thing that gets me thru the week, i swear

[chantalduplessis]

Shane's humour is honestly the main reason I watch this channel so funny 🤣

[imnotmark]

That sounds like something she would say. “Offspring” 😂

[ArillenWonderlnd]

I’m here, just casually scrolling through YouTube shorts whilst drinking some water, I get to the part of your video when you said “will you give me offspring” and I for real, like no lie, did an ACTUAL spit take. 😂😂😂 Holy shit, Shane, I was NOT ready for that.
