Many of you read my post on @post_status about remembering the bigger picture. The man I spoke of in that article, my stepfather, passed away early this morning. He was a wonderful human who brought joy to this earth. His memory will, indeed, be a blessing to all who knew him.

Disabled people do not have to imagine what it is like to be called a burden. We are referred to that way every day. The burden is segregation. The burden is discrimination. The burden is presumed inferiority. The burden is dehumanization. The burden is ableism.

Medical staff to receptionist: “Have the wheelchair come in.” A disabled person who uses a wheelchair is not “a wheelchair.”

Inaccessibility that keeps out disabled people is not a neutral act. Exclusion is a hostile act.

What if more than 90% of the web was not accessible to you? How would you engage in online activities and opportunities? Millions of people with disabilities are excluded every day by design choices that leave them out. Your support is needed. giving.knowbility.org

@Dell phone customer service, noisy background, sounds like party, and they wonder why I balk when they ask for my financial information.

Disabled people are more than 25% of the population. Disabled people are not a niche group. We don’t need disability awareness. We need ableism awareness and action to combat disability discrimination.

Disability rights are hollow without enforcement, remedies and disability justice.
