The death of disabled people, and not some other group, should never be viewed as “encouraging” news. That is fatal ableism. #AbleismKills #AbleismIsFatal

Access for and accommodation of disabled people are more than a ramp. Disabled people still struggle every day for accessible and accommodating COVID care.

Could not have been prouder to see my 5 year old start loading the cart at Costco this way because the sides are too high for him. No suggestions from wife or me. Started doing it all on his own

Disabled people don’t want “extras.” Access is not an extra. Equity is not an extra. Justice is not an extra. Accommodation is not an extra. Disabled people want what we have been denied and so many others take for granted.

When after 2 months of having your own bathroom you realize it’s been your wife and not your 2 young sons who is the cause of water always being in the toothbrush cup

Parking in the accessible spot to drop-off or pick-up your child is NEVER okay. I do not care how quick it is. The other parking spots are literally 8 feet away. And apparently I’m the a$$hole if I tell you as much

Doing my best to pass along the skills my dad taught me. New garage power tool battery charging shelf #DadLife [Image descriptions: 3 pictures of a young boy sawing a piece of wood, hammering an anchor into a wall, & tightening a screw. 4th picture is the finished shelf]

Today’s soundtrack. Much needed source of energy after a night of sharing a full-sized bed with both boys. They both insisted on being snuggled so I obliged #DadLife [Image description: the cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours album picturing Mick Fleetwood and Steve Nicks]

Disabled people have the right to self-determination and bodily autonomy. We have the right to make our own decisions. Our human rights include reproductive rights. Abortion rights are disability rights #DisabledAndProChoice #RoeVsWade #Dobbs

Incredibly humbled and blessed to be featured on the latest episode from Altruist. It was great fun talking with Dasarte Yarnway about my journey as an advisor and how I came to serve the disabled community. #FinancialPlanning #disabilityinclusion #accessibility
