Stuck in the hospital getting fluid build up removed with IV meds. @HamiltonMusical is keeping me in good spirits though.

@dominickevans @swampflora Great example. But it’s not just PWD who vote in a self destructive manner. There’s a small portion of virtually every marginalized group/culture who does this. Because they genuinely believe much of what they’ve been fed throughout their lives by our capitalist society.

Thanks to the work of disability orgs, allies, & advocates, Tennessee has officially revised its guidelines on healthcare rationing! creeclaw.org/tn-improved-st… #KeepFighting #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DisabilityRights #Advocacy #Covid19 #HighRiskCovid19 #NoBodyIsDosposable

Don’t let anyone tell you that advocacy and activism don’t work.

@AAPD how do you think COVID-19 will affect the current and future elections? How do you think this will affect potential candidates with disabilities who may find it difficult to travel the entire district and meet with constituents? #CripTheVote #RevUp

@cpayan_ @Cato_of_Utica That's a lot of ridiculously expensive semen!

I will not stay silent while disabled lives are still seen as disposable. #Covid_19 #HighRiskCovid19 #DisabilityRights #HealthCareIsAHumanRight

I’m Jean-Marie “JM” Lawrence and I have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. It weakens all my muscles and my immune system, making it difficult to fight off infections. I am #HighRiskCovid19

@KieransWelch Thank you so much!!!

@JML1102 Awesome! I'll keep you updated when I get it all then you can let me know how to get it to you.

Check this out if you're immunocompromised like me and need help getting supplies. #COVID19 #CoronaVirus #Disability #Immunocompromised #ImmuneSystem #HelpEachOther

@KieransWelch Any brand is fine!

@JML1102 I'm not too sure I'll be able to get the masks but I can definitely get everything else. Is there a certain brand of wipes or is any okay?

@KieransWelch Thank you! That would be fantastic!

@JML1102 Hey I saw your @/location and can totally help out. I'm in the Ringgold area.

@MusicianGirl @cpayan_ Grief is totally normal! I grieve every time my body decides there’s something else it will no longer do. But grief can be LIVED with. And so many people w/o disabilities focus on the grief and not the living.

@SenGardenhire thanks for assuming I only wanted to discuss abortion. What about disabled women’s healthcare in TN? Nice way to treat a constituent.

@acedrew Definitely not. No room for a wheelchair to pass on either side. Easiest/cheapest solution- widen the sidewalk. Thanks for looking out!

@JML1102 does this meet ADA? Happy to report to EPB if not.
