I’m taking that anger and using it as fuel to keep going until I succeed #disability #disabilityrights #disabled #righttowork #disabledrighttowork #chronicpain

@mishacollins.bsky.social So after sending numerous emails to your agent I decided to call him, he wasn’t in so I left a voicemail & after a week still no response, what does it take to get a reply to my request? At this point I’m not above paying for a meeting but hopefully that won’t be necessary

Disability does not discriminate.

Just because I need to work from home doesn’t mean I lack drive and ambition, the fact that I am still trying to make my career goals come true whilst up against such ableist attitudes should show that! #disability #disabilityrights #RightToWork #remotework

@mishacollins.bsky.social You can help me and many others, can we arrange a quick chat to discuss how we can highlight the lack of fully remote work available for disabled/chronically ill people within the media & entertainment industry, and also how I can help lighten your assistants workload.

I have always been the ‘quiet and don’t rock the boat type’ however since becoming chronically ill I’ve realised that if I don’t stand up for myself and the life/career I want nobody else will! Inaccessibility (In my opinion) also means not offering fully remote work #disability #disabilityrights

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

"Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.” -Carl Jung

Trying to find fully remote assistant work in the entertainment/media industry shouldn’t be this difficult or soul crushing #disabilityrights #spoonielife #disabled #chronicpain #remotework

@mishacollins.bsky.social I am taking your advice & come hell or high water I will make my career goals happen & not let the lack of remote assistant jobs in media hold me back. As you said ‘not being in person is no longer an excuse in this day and age’. DM me & help me raise awareness

If I see one more job advertisement in my chosen career that I would be perfect for with the words ‘Office-based role’ at the end of it I will scream!! #disability #remotework #disabilityrights #righttoworkinmedia #disabilityinclusion #disabled #disabledLife #remoteworkinmedia

I’ve had to tell myself this alot this week, getting rejection after rejection from companies in an industry that seems to think that as I need to work from home I’m incapable of doing what is required! I won’t give up, each rejection makes me want to prove them wrong #disability #disabilityrights

Had my 5th Hydrotherapy session today and even though it is very nice whist in the water the effort it takes to actually get to the appointment and the pain afterwards doesn’t make it feel beneficial to me #disability #disabilityrights #chronicpain

@mishacollins.bsky.social Still hoping to hear back from you (or your agent/manager) to arrange a time to discuss this in more detail, 10 minutes is all I ask. #mishacollins #disabilityrights #righttoworkremote

That is exactly what I’m going to do this year, and no flimsy excuses from companies regarding remote work is going to stop me! #Disability #remotework #disabilityrights

The last few years I feel I have only existed and not lived, letting my career dreams slowly d*e just because remote work isn’t readily available in the media industry. I am done just accepting the ‘u need to be in the office’ line! #Disability #disabilityrights #remotework @mishacollins.bsky.social

I want to work and build a career in my chosen industry however I need to work remotely, never thought this would be a problem for so many companies in the media/entertainment industry. Don’t confuse the need to work from home to lack of passion or drive! #disability #disabilityrights #chronicpain

Especially when we have to give up on our career aspirations simply because the industry is unwilling to offer remote work. Needing to work remotely doesn’t make us incompetent! #disabilityrights #disability #chronicpain #disabledrighttowork

@mishacollins.bsky.social You use your platform to make the world a better place which is amazing! Can you and your platform help me raise awareness of the lack of fully remote work for chronically ill/disabled people in the media industry. DM me. #disabilityrights #mishacollins #BeMoreMisha

Unfortunately chronic pain/illness go hand in hand with depression 😔 #depression #chronicpain #chronicillness #mentalhealthawareness

Fully remote work should be an option for people with disabilities/chronic illnesses within the media/entertainment industry if the role is computer based. #disabilityrights #remotejobsinmedia #chronicillness #mishacollins

@mishacollins.bsky.social It is because of this platform that I know you are the perfect person to help me raise awareness of the lack of fully remote work for chronically ill/disabled people in the media industry. DM me. #disabilityrights #mishacollins #BeMoreMisha credit @fangasmspn.bsky.social

How many people have had to give up on their career because of their chronic illness/disability? #disability #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisableillness #disabilityrights

#spoonie

Being chronically ill is such a rollercoaster of emotions, some days I’m positive and vow to not let my illness define me and other days I just feel grief so deep I can’t see a way out #chronicpain #disability #disabilitygrief

This hit me deep, it does feel like time stopped at a certain point and now I’m just existing #chronicpain #chronicillness #spoonielife

Just got rejected for another job as they need someone to be in the office! This is ridiculous, media careers should be available to everyone not just for people that can travel. #careerinmedia #chronicillness #disabilityInMedia #chronicpain #DisabledLife #Disability #spoonielife #disabilityrights
