17yrs ago yesterday I got sick, and, I didnβt get better.
I was 14, healthy, active (as you can see bottom left, 3rd down on right, and mid-left are all pre illness).
Everything has been stripped away bit by bit, no matter what Iβve tried.
But, we make the most of whatever we have, however we can

Quote from National Coalition on Accessible Voting: Federal laws require every part of the voting process to be accessible for disabled voters, from registering to vote to casting a ballot. The new barriers in these bills β limiting vote by mail, criminalizing some voter assistance, and adding burdensome voter registration practices β undermine accessibility, disenfranchise eligible voters, and weaken the foundation of our democracy."
Text encourages contacting Congress against SAVE Act.
The SAVE America Act was passed by the House yesterday. Next it will go to the Senate. Call or email your senator now if able. The National Coalition on Accessible Voting statement, plain language summary, & link to action is here: https://ncavote.org/resource/nosaveact/
