Disabled people are not a monolith: we are each unique, with our various intersecting identities, our politics, and our actual disabilities.

The GFM for Lois Curtis, a Southern Black #disabled woman who was influential in the passage of the Olmstead Act, was shared with me. This is another reminder that our Black disabled elders aren’t cared for as they should be, even in their final days. gofundme.com/f/final-expens…

@NeuroawesomeEQ @DrAimeeGrant And different time zones make it even more difficult 😭

@DrAimeeGrant @WeAreDisabled I relate! If I can't copy and paste the code, it's an issue. 😥

As I'm locked out of @WeAreDisabled it's a good time to note how inaccessible multi-factor authentication is. I'm dyslexic; I'll get a phone number wrong at least once when dialling. The same goes for 6-digit codes I regularly have text to me but need to input on a computer.

[admin] coming up next is @DrAimeeGrant!

@WeAreDisabled What's your email?

[admin] Have you ever thought about hosting for a week? All you need to do is be you! We are looking for all types of people and experiences. We don't have anyone scheduled for the rest of the year, so if you'd like to give it a go please email us!

[admin] thank you to @alchiap for being such a terrific host this past week! The Wakelet link for the week is here wke.lt/w/s/teWVYx

Thank you so much, everyone! I enjoyed my time here, and I hope your week has been smooth. There is a lot left to do to keep advocating, but we got this. Every single one of you is strong and I am proud. Feel free to follow me! beacons.ai/alchiap

This is right here. This gets me through the day. Being alive is not about working. Not about getting that paycheck. Not about cleaning. etc. As long as you are happy? F- those people.z There is no rule book. Do what makes you smile

@booshtukka Thank you!! <33

Suicidal people deserve better than to be told the main reason they shouldn’t kill themselves is because of how it might affect others. Suicidal people deserve love and help, not guilt trips. Suicidal people deserve to feel like their life is worth living, worth fighting for.

Now I have met a handful of drivers that are wonderful! They do a great job and deserve a bigger paycheck. Sadly there are way too many negatives. It is ridiculous. The worst? Unless I want to pay uber (expensive) I am stuck with them

I don't understand. If we need medical transport, why in the hell do they make it difficult?! We would like to be independent. We would like not to be ill. Do they think it is fun for us? I just wish empathy was practiced more

So before I hand this account back over, there is something I want to address. I only recalled because I need to call them myself: medical transport
