Disability studies quote of the day:

Unless you have experienced it yourself, it’s hard to understand fully the ache of watching others live their lives while it feels as though you are merely aging. It’s not the fear of missing out; it’s just missing out.

Cautiously optimistic to be here.

Always open arms for new crip, queer, and trans community.
