When people disappoint you with their behavior and actions, it’s easy to lose yourself in the negativity. Don't dwell on the brown spots. Cut them out, discard them, and enjoy the rest of the apple. Then tend the garden as a whole to reap better fruit!

Disability Daily Podcast @disabilitydaily.bsky.social · Jun 2

Today on the #Disability Daily #Podcast we celebrate disability rights activist with #CerebralPalsy Hale Zukas & disabled British #suffragette & #polio survivor Rosa May Billinghurst!

Listen & read transcript

#UCBerkeley #Berkeley #accessibility #a11y #Britain #suffrage #transporation #BART #vote

Hale Zukas in a motorized wheelchair on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train platform. He sits in front of a silver elevator several feet from the yellow and black tactile paving dots that border the train tracks. He has wispy gray hair and wears a green shirt, red jacket, and black pants. He has a head wand attached to a helmet he wears. He smiles at the camera with a blue surgical face mask down around his chin.

A historical black-and-white photograph showing Rosa May Billinghurst, a suffragette, in a decorated wheelchair at a women’s suffrage march. She is positioned in the front row, wearing a large hat adorned with flowers. Surrounding her are other suffragettes, some of whom are also wearing hats and floral accessories. In the background, a police officer and several onlookers are visible.

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.

“It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

Tariffs are about to hit lifesaving medical equipment

Hidden disabilities may limit daily life but aren't always immediately visible. These issues are vast and diverse and can cause significant challenges. Understanding and supporting individuals with hidden disabilities is crucial for creating a more inclusive society. #DisabilityAwareness #BeKind
