During the last round of trollgate, people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. So I’d just like to commemorate the occasion with these 3 selfies... 📸😉👋🏻

I just knew that Wheelchair Barbie’s forever home had to be on my desk. After all, it’s the place where I do my most important writing and thinking — and scrolling on my iPad — so I wanted her next to me. And now, I can say “Hi, Barbie” every time I sit down to work! And scroll.

Here’s a sample of the nasty comments I’ve received lately. This is why I speak up. This is why I’m writing an ENTIRE book about disabilities. Because people with facial differences are worthy human beings. I like my smile and I like my face. I just wish society did too... ❤️♿️

Wanted to show off my summer body. YOU can get one too... ☀️💪🏻 I have a summer body simply by existing. In the summertime. In my body. Just as it is. This idea that you have to do something to make your body “worthy” for summer is toxic. Your summer body is already worthy! ❤️

I call this “Switching your phone to selfie mode to get one last look at yourself during Leo season!” It’s art, really... Stay dramatic, my fellow Leo friends!!! 🔥💫
