And to the non-disabled folks reading this, awareness alone is not enough. Commit to action such as amplifying disabled creators, advocating for accessibility, challenging ableism, voting with us in mind, and listening when we speak every day of the year. (6/6)

If you’re disabled, whether you’re confident or conflicted (or somewhere in between) within that identity, whether it’s visible or invisible, static or dynamic: you are valid. (5/6)

While today is meant to highlight our community, one day will never be enough. Especially not when disabled people are still fighting for access, safety, autonomy, affordability, respect, and representation every single day of the year. (4/6)

Disability shouldn’t have to be inspirational to be respected, understood to be accommodated, or have a dedicated awareness day to matter. (3/6)

Disability is not rare or a niche. It’s a community you can become a part of at any moment, whether from age, illness, or injury. It is a community shaped by structural barriers, inaccessible systems, unaffordable care, and policies that were built without us in mind. (2/6)

Thank you for being here!! And I hope you have a wonderful low-symptom/pain day.🦋

Oh, and if you are just looking to see what my diagnoses are, the main conditions that affect me are Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Endometriosis, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS).

If you are looking for honest moments, accessible advocacy, and intentional design… you’re in the right place!

Thank you!!

Thank you for getting to know me a little more, and I can’t wait to share more content on this page! I hope you have a low-symptom & pain day 🦋💐🎨
