Choose your favorite and let someone special know your heart is fully accessible.

A round pink strawberry-themed bear sits against a pink background with white lace borders. A purple ribbon weaves between the lace strands. The bear is a Squishable brand plushie. The caption reads “I love you beary much!” The “I” is crossed out and replaced with “We.” There’s a gift tag in the top left corner that reads “To: Disability Advocates From: CowCow.” A picture of CowCow, a two-headed tan and brown cow is placed beside the From line.

We wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day!

Cartoon white notebook paper with blue lines on it. Red hearts are papered around its border. In the middle, in a handwriting-like font, the question “Do you love accessibility?” “Love” is underlined. Beneath, two options: yes and no. The circle beside “yes” is filled in with another red heart. In the bottom right corner, a tan and brown two-headed cow stands behind one of the red border hearts. The left head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the right wears black sunglasses without arms.

Can the concept of accessibility be our #Valentine? No? Hmm… Stay tuned to find out who is then!

A tan and brown cartoon cow stands against a pink flowery background. The title: Get to know CowCow. Around the two-headed cow, the following facts in brown text, going counterclockwise: We were born on the American-Canadian border, so one head is American, and the other is Canadian.Our best friend isParkour Squirrel. Our full name is: CowCow the Bicranial Bovine, First of Their Name, Herald of the Disabled Apocalypse, Breaker of Curb Cuts.We have one-eyed cow cousins.There is no reason for CowCow;we simply are.Even our own team “doesn’t get the cow.” We bring tidings of great accessibility. Our single-headed ancestor appeared on the Vol. 3 cover. One head has the magical ability to keep their sunglasses on without the glasses having arms.

Ever wondered moo we are? Here’s the rundown.
–CowCow

A cartoon tan and brown two-headed cow stands in a field full of multi-colored wildflowers. The left head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the right wears a pair of dark sunglasses with no wings. (We don’t know how they stay up.) On their body, they wear a fluffy pink realistic tutu. A quotation bubble over the left head reads “On Wednesdays, we wear pink.” The right head says, “The disabilities might be chronic, but we look iconic.”

Don’t forget your pink this Wednesday! Join us in our iconic status. #OnWednesdaysWeWearPink

A tan and brown cartoon cow stands in front of a pink background with gold confetti. A sparkly gold starburst sits behind the cow. In brown letters at the top: “Happy 2026!” Below the cow in brown letters: “from your friends at.” Then the Including Disability logo, a stylized combined I and D.

New year, same CowCow. We’re looking forward to another year of accessibility advocacy.
–CowCow

A cartoon tan and brown two-headed cow stands in a warmly lit living room. The walls and floors are wood paneled, and two rows of bookshelves hang behind a lighted Christmas tree. Presents sit nestled beneath it. (How a two-headed cow wrapped them, we do not know.) Over the tan couch beside the tree hangs the Star of David. Outside the window, blurry snow flakes fall. On the windowsill sits a 9-candled menorah.

We wish everyone a warm and wonderful holiday season! Personally, we’re big fans of the holiday moo-sic.
–CowCow

Two taped-up photo squares and a quotation bubble hang on a pinkish-purple background. One of the two heads of a two-headed cow is in each of the photo squares. One wears sunglasses, and the other wears a pink and purple flower crown. The quotation bubble reads “Did You Know?” Then, a bullet point list of facts. First, “The phrase "Nothing about us without us" is from the 1500s and was a protest against kings making decisions alone. Its Latin form was ‘Nihil de nobis, sine nobis.’” Then, “One of CowCow's heads probably speaks Latin. The other does not.”

South African activists, Michael Masutha and William Rowland, heard the phrase from an unknown East European activist, and their books popularized it in the 1990s. Talk about an international herd!

#IncludingDisability

A brown cartoon squirrel holds an acorn in its hands. Text in front of it reads “Parkour Squirrel’s Nuts of Wisdom.” A quotation bubble above the squirrel reads “A nut never apologizes for its shell; it trusts the world to discover its worth.” In the bottom left corner, CowCow’s two heads pop in, cut off just above their four nostrils. The left head wears their usual wing-less sunglasses, and the right one wears their usual pink and purple flower crown.

And our accessibility advocacy will be as unwavering as an oak tree!
–CowCow

A two headed tan and brown cow stands in a snowy cartoon field. One head wears a pink and purple flower crown, while the other wears a pair of sunglasses without wings. To their right, there is a cartoon snowman with sticks for legs and arms. How he balances, we do not know. Great is his power. Over the cow’s heads, there’s a quotation bubble that reads “Accessibility is ‘snow’ much fun.” Snowflakes pepper the air around the cow and snowman.

You might say that accessibility is…cool.

A zoomed in closeup of CowCow’s heads. One wears a flower crown, and the other wears sunglasses without wings. The background is a spooky, dimly-lit forest. White text above their heads reads “There is no HowHow to CowCow.”

We simply are CowCow.

A cartoon tan and brown two headed cow stands in a green and orange field with rolling hills. One head wears a pink and purple flower crown while the other wears dark sunglasses with no wings. A quotation bubble over their head reads “No need to cow-er; we’re disabled and proud.”

Have you herd? Internalized ableism is out, and self-acceptance is in.

A cartoon tan and brown two-headed cow stands in a snow-covered field. Curly black lines in the sky indicate the wind is gusting toward the cow. One of the cow’s heads wears a scarf and pink and purple flower crown; the other head wears sunglasses and dark earmuffs. A quotation bubble over the cow reads “Everyone deserves easy, breezy accessibility.” Breezy is underlined because we know this pun is terrible, but we’re leaning into it anyway.

Good accessibility is moo-sic to our ears!

A tan and brown two-headed cow stands atop a foggy, scenic mountain range with lots of rocks. A quotation bubble over their heads reads “We’ll shout it from the mountain tops: Access is udder-ly essential!”

And we’ll keep shouting it until we are herd!
–CowCow

A cartoon field with bright green grass and a bright blue sky. A building that might be a house and might be a barn stands on the far side of the field with curtains in its warmly-lit windows. A herd of slightly disturbing AI-generated animals rests around the field with ZZZs over their heads. A tan and brown two-headed cow, one head wearing a pink and purple flower crown and the other wearing sunglasses without wings, stands amidst them. Over the top third of the image, “Rest is RADICAL” is spelled out in brown letters. A bright yellow sun hangs in the sky, and animals that might be bees, birds, or butterflies swarm flutter around it.

Making moo-ves on advocacy initiatives is so much easier when well-rested! We’re all members of the herd, so self-care is herd-care!

#IncludingDisability #Accessibility #Disability #DisabilityJustice #Disabled #SelfCare

A lovely, brightly lit cartoon field. A tan and brown two-headed cow stands before a wicker laundry basket filled with unfolded laundry. A quotation bubble over one head reads “Task initiation? More like task moo-tivation!”

Laundry folding is hard. Especially when you have hooves… But we have the moo-tivation to do it!
–CowCow

A quote on a tan background: “Accessibility is moo-sic to our ears.” Attributed to CowCow. Three music notes float up into the upper right corner. In the bottom left, CowCow, a tan and brown two-headed cow stands proud. One head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the other wears a pair of sunglasses without wings.

It’s a melody that should be herd more often.
–CowCow

A yellow sticky note is taped to a purple background. Above the sticky note, “CowCow wants:” On the sticky note, “Accessi-bull-ity for all.” Below the sticky note, a tan and brown two headed cow. One head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the other wears a pair of black sunglasses without wings.

No need to cow-er! Advocacy can be intimidating, but we’re working hard to make sure all members of the herd get equal access.

A white background with smiling pastel-colored flowers. On that background, the phrase “Disabled’ is not a bad word” in black text. A two-headed tan and brown cow peeks in from the bottom right corner. One head wears sunglasses without arms, and the other wears a pink and purple flower crown.

Now THAT’S a moo-vement we can get behind.

A tan and brown two-headed cow stands in a cartoon field with a bright blue sky filled with puffy white clouds. The left head wears a pink and purple flower crown, and the right wears a pair of sunglasses without arms. The accessibility symbol, a blue square with a white outline of a wheelchair user speeding along, sits in front of them. A quotation bubble over their right head reads “Accessibility isn’t just a-moo-sing; it’s a human right.”

The herd is stronger when all cows (and humans) are included.

A collage of cartoon items: a smartphone, a tylenol box, three pills labeled “SSRIs,” a syringe with “any of them” in parenthesis beside it, and an open refrigerator with the word “mothers” on it.

It’s time for a game! What do all of these things have in common? Hint: It doesn’t require the benefit of two brains to figure out!

Two taped-up photo squares and a quotation bubble hang on a pinkish-purple background. One of the two heads of a two-headed cow is in each of the photo squares. One wears sunglasses, and the other wears a pink and purple flower crown. The quotation bubble reads “Did You Know?” Then, a bullet point list of facts. First, “The rubber-handled potato peeler we know today came about as an adaptation for individuals with arthritis. Score for universal design!” Then, “CowCow prefers their potatoes roasted to a crisp.”

Our four-sectioned stomach is ready for potatoes…

A brown cartoon squirrel holds an acorn in its hands. Text in front of it reads “Parkour Squirrel’s Nuts of Wisdom.” A quotation bubble above the squirrel reads “Don’t just chase the nut—be the nut worth chasing.” In the bottom left corner, CowCow’s two heads pop in, cut off just above their four nostrils. The left head wears their usual wing-less sunglasses, and the right one wears their usual pink and purple flower crown.

Parkour Squirrel is back with more wisdom? We’re all ears—and horns.

In a cartoon barn, CowCow stands before a computer. A quotation bubble over their left head reads “Moo,” and a quotation bubble over the right head reads “Moo.” On the computer screen, the words “Moo. Moo.” are displayed.

We have exceptionally beautiful cloven hooves, so we use speech-to-text. Accessible tech is legend-dairy.
