Hi friends!

In 2024 I started making a yearly Holiday Shopping Guide featuring #Disabled & #Queer entrepreneur artists and small business owners. I am starting my guide for this year & if you/ a friend has a #smallbusiness please drop it in the comments to be featured!

Thanks so much,

Dear Abled People,
Not having to work, and not being ABLE to work are not the same thing.
Thank you for your time.

2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with #Endometriosis. I've had it for at least 11 years and it has likely been a major source of my #chronicpain. I'm having urgent surgery on August 1st. Hopefully this could reduce my pain. I am suffering deeply right now. Please send positive vibes x

My wife drove the car to work today when she didn't have to so that I wouldn't have access to it and injure myself...😅

I had to take a break because I have nerve damage in my hands which has worsened, but I was just able to get a Cricut so I'm back at it! Let me know if you're running low x

Meg Winter @spooniessquad.bsky.social · Apr 30

I will send you a 1oz envelope for free (US only) if you will post them up around your town #Resistance via #stickers ! They can't erase us ♿🏳️‍🌈♀️
(DM your addy 📮)

#disability #pride #lgbt #womensrights #mybodymychoice #believewomen #resist

Small note that says resistance via stickers. We will not let them be racist. Resistance via stickers is a positive way to send a message that we are not going anywhere and we deserve every human, right. Please post these stickers around your town/City I am sending them out for free to anyone who asks. Spread the words. Send me friends addresses who will help resist help remind people to be kind. Today and everyday the future will be brighter

Image of stickers that say believe women, you cannot erase us, love wins, and a pride flag with a fist in front of it
