Being disabled in an abled world is being called inspirational just for breathing while being simultaneously told that you don't deserve to live if you can't contribute to the economy

A woman named Lyset who was in a sheltered workshop in Monticello just said, "I am more than a Medicaid reimbursement." Powerful words. #disability #abolishsubminimumwage #access #integration

Well I am tapping out because it is my bedtime, but I would like to leave with this. If the entertainment industry has the nerve to repeatedly make films of disabled "overcoming" they deserve to know the truth. We don't need to get over our disabilities, you do. #DisTheOscars

It shouldn't surprise you that talented disabled people exist. Being disabled in public shouldn't get a vocal response of "awwww" or a weightless "what an inspiration!" It shouldn't make you cry because you assume our lives are horrible JUST because we are disabled.

Just saw this Delta commercial that has a parent who is in a wheelchair giving their baby a bath at 40 seconds in. I know airlines get a lot wrong, but they got this visible representation of a disabled parent right. It meant a lot to see. youtu.be/VmYxkAqjpYA
