@WigOnWheelsToBe @BhattMurphy Ahhhh amazing!

I am excited to announce that I have joined @BhattMurphy as their new COVID-19 Inquiry Paralegal!🥰 I am looking forward to this new chapter in my career! Most importantly, I am proud to be joining a firm with an outstanding commitment in social justice & civil liberties!

@taracdennehy Thank you for sharing! This is very insightful. I experience similar with my own chronic pain and wishing I could be that tailored blazer structured look. Have you found any hacks at all?

@OpenStyleLab I mostly wear soft, stretchy dresses because of bad arthritis + edema, but would love to be able to wear more structured and tailored items.

If you're LGBTQ+ and identify as disabled, how has this impacted your dressing? How does it impact your expression? Are there positives, are there negatives?
