I will not be going back into the closet. I will die before I do that. I wish I could just live my damn life and not be a political football. My existence isn’t a fucking bargaining chip.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

Everyone is saying it’s going to be a long 4 years but my fears tell me it’s going to be longer than that. I almost didn’t survive his first term. I came out as trans and went back in the closet. I almost died from that. I finally came back out and it’s 2016 all over again only I’m NOT going back.

Whenever there are natural disasters, I think about all the disabled people unable to evacuate to safety. Who are left to hope they may be rescued but who know realistically they are not a priority. Because we never are. I think of them, every time. Climate change is a disability justice issue.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

I’m here. I’m here for the baby and for my wife and for my parents and for my friends and for myself. I’m not going anywhere and if you want to get rid of me you’re going to have to come for me because I will not make this easy for you

The American Healthcare System is a fucking nightmare that I can never wake up from. I frequently day dream of going to another country to experience their healthcare.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

When I lived in my car I stayed in a safe parking program. The program was stationed right in front of a firehouse so at all hours we would have lights and sirens blaring across the lot. Now when I have to deal with those in day to day life my brain goes back to being there. It’s so frustrating.

Ableism looks like building a world that doesn’t consider people with disabilities, then blaming them for not fitting in. It's the constant belittling, the exclusion, the 'inspiration' label slapped on them for existing, and the refusal to make basic accommodations because it’s 'too much effort.

I used to write a lot when I was younger and I have recently challenged myself to get back into it! ☺️ I did a prompt and I actually had so much fun. I forgot how good creating feels and I can’t stop laughing at my own story. I feel like the idea found me and I didn’t expect it. 🥰😆

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a little stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

I feel like I’ll never get medication for my ADHD and I’ll just be scraping by like this for the rest of my life. I just want to be able to focus consistently on what I want to. Why can’t I have that? 😩

Before you judge a disabled person for the way they’re coping with the messiness of life …consider the sickest you ever were. Maybe it was a flu or an infection thst required surgery Try and remember the pain, fatigue & crushing monotony of it Now imagine knowing it would never end. Then be kinder

Banning masks is a disability rights issue. I’ve almost died from a common cold multiple times. It’s not just about COVID. If you’re banning masks, you’re actively excluding those like me from accessing those spaces. Disabled people deserve to be in society.

Being disabled is walking the tightrope of proving you're competent enough to matter and disabled enough to require support

When I look at my journal pages that are blank I get excited and scared by all the things I may be writing about on them in the future. Will I be crying? Will it be happy? Am I going to be okay? Only I can find out!! So exciting.

I got my grade back for my English final. I officially made it through and PASSED a college course! This was my fourth try to make it through and I finally broke down the barriers I was experiencing. My professor also strongly encouraged me to take creative writing so I’m going to give it a try! 🥰

The disability community is the the largest minority group in the country and often the most ignored. It’s also the only minority group you can join at any time. You can become disabled and most likely will with age. To care about the disability community is to care about your inevitable future.

I posted about my dad getting denied coverage because of a preexisting condition before the ACA. A common response was, "Why should I pay more to take care of your dad?" Well, life is messy. We're all a moment away a disability. Your opinion will change with your health.

“Insurance won’t pay to do both the left and right sides of the back at one time,” she explains. “You have to make two appointments, because they feel you might have less pain after one side is done, and they don’t want to pay for two if they don’t have to.”
