PSA: Inaccessible spaces and systems create barriers 4 ♿️.

Accessibility must be a core principle, ensuring everyone can fully participate in society.

This is not just about compliance; it's about fundamental human rights.

Thanks friend, Happy New Year to you as well! Just trying to do my part to leave the world a bit better of a place than it was before I got here 💜

When spaces and systems aren't accessible, they exclude ♿️.

Accessibility isn't a luxury – it's a fundamental right and should be the standard, not an afterthought.

Your needs matter.

Even when they make people uncomfortable.

Even when others don’t understand them.

Even when you’re told they’re too much. (They’re not.)

Your needs matter.

(And YOU are not a burden, nor are your needs)

I understand the laws & such as a PWD/ ♿️ advocate, but circling back 2 my original point… accessibility should b a priority from the start. It isn’t debatable that doing so is necessary 4 an inclusive society & such adjustments don’t harm any1, only help. ♿️ is part of the human condition

The holidays can be tough for those grieving. You're not alone.

Let's be kind to each other, cherish memories, & take things 1 day at a time.

You are valued, loved, & it's ok 2 feel your emotions.

Few examples of gaslighting ableism are more prominent than when people attempt 2 dictate the needs and wants of ♿️.

Disability is an integral & constant part of life 4 many w/in our community, not a temporary condition that can be turned off whenever we want.

I guess we could go back and forth about preferred language/definitions all day long. I’m curious though, are you at least in agreement that access 4 all is a positive, regardless of condition?

My diagnosis literally affects every aspect of my life… some you can see, others you cannot, but that doesn’t negate the benefits of access. Some disabilities r visible and others aren’t

Again, disability isn’t simply an identity group. I
don’t just identify as disabled, I literally can’t walk & am a w/c user. You don’t agree that prioritizing access 4 all is a positive thing?

I disagree. Disability isn’t simply an identity… it literally affects every aspect of 1’s life (in some cases) & furthermore, anyone can become disabled at a certain point in life (b that birth, accident, illness, etc.), so what might not assist 1 rn, could benefit them later

💜 Thanks so much for taking the time to share that, It’s a privilege to be able to provide some comfort when I can… I most definitely want to help as many people as I possibly can.

Gentle reminder: Over the next few days, you'll likely see many people sharing their biggest accomplishments of the year.

Remember, it's okay if your biggest accomplishment this year was simply surviving.

It’s honestly cringeworthy watching the future POTUS treat Truth Social like his personal therapist. All these late-night rants? It's like he's stuck in a teenage drama, but instead of angst over pimples, it's about policy & vengeance.
