I’m sorry this week has been so rough. I’m glad you are getting through it!
Same here, really. Been recovering from the vaccines I got the other day. Feeling heartbroken about Alice Wong, but also feeling the huge outpouring of love from our community.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
Don’t let them silence you.
Be proud of your disabilities and don’t be ashamed to talk about them.
Don’t be afraid to show pain and vulnerability.
We do not exist to make other people comfortable.
We are perfect just as we are.

Tell people their outfit is cool and that they have good taste. That’s it. That’s the extent of acceptable commenting on other people’s clothing.

Thank you for this. It’s made me cry, but in the most wonderful way. 💗 I have so much love for disabled folk.

When we talk about disability ancestors, we’re not talking about some distant, abstract lineage. We’re talking about people who fought, organized, wrote, dreamed, and survived alongside us. People who left us tools, strategies, jokes, tenderness, and a politic were responsible for carrying forward.

In disability communities, grief isn’t episodic. It’s cumulative. It layers. It reverberates. We lose people who should’ve had decades more time—because the world is engineered to wear us down. And yet, in that same world, disabled people keep building life with one another anyway.

“One of the things that really gives me joy is the fact that there are so many amazing, brilliant, creative disabled people out there. But part of my rage — and it’s a very real rage — is that most people don’t really know about them.”

Sending you so much love and appreciation. I’m so glad you are alive.
Thank you for your willingness to share. It’s difficult to know how to begin sharing my own story, seeing you sharing yours means more than you know. 💗
