Yeah, no, obviously I’m amazing 💁🏻‍♀️🤭✨

But not because of this lol 🙈

Ambulatory wheelchair users exist 👍🏼

Exercising first thing in the morning? 🙅🏻‍♀️🥵

Exercising my RIGHT to call our elected officials and ask them to fight back against this administration’s harmful executive orders over my morning coffee 👍🏼☕️😤

Who are you rooting for tonight?

As a long time Swiftie, I just hope Taylor has a good time tonight 🥰

BUT, I’ll probably be cheering when the Eagles score 😜🦅

Since we are living out the plot of Cabaret, here is my official audition to play Sally Bowles 😍

It’s been a bad week.

My coping tools are humor and music.

And while this is somewhat a joke…

I would also very much LOVE to play Sally Bowles someday 😜

BREAKING NEWS❗️❗️❗️

Who is bailing me out? 🤭🖤⛓️‍💥

This is 100% a joke btw…

That said… I would NOT test me in 2025 👍🏼

And while I miss my people in the UK, I have truly never been happier than I am and have been for the last six months.

I've been to hell and made it back again, but I finally like the person I'm becoming.

Call it my second coming. My resurrection, if you will.

I’m so proud of myself 🎶

/3 END

She immediately told me to do whatever was best for me, but she had always pushed me to move back to the States.

Having built not only a vibrant community in London, but also my career from the ground up, I didn't know how to start over in EVERY facet of my life.

But that's just what I did. /2

2 years ago today, my life imploded.

The first thing I did after my ex asked me for a divorce was call my mom. The second thing I did was call my manager and ask her if I should stay in the UK or move back home to the US. /1

I don’t know who needs to hear this…

But disabled people and DEI did NOT cause the horrific plane crash at DCA.

My heart goes out to all of the people affected. I am both so sorry for your loss and that our president has decided to use a tragedy such as this to further his political agenda.

I am the same person no matter which mobility aid I am using on any given day.

Our fear around disability MUST end in 2025 and the only way that’s going to happen is through education and awareness.

Yet still, when I go out in my wheelchair vs going out with my prosthetic, I am treated like two completely different people.

When I roll down the street in my chair, I am pitied and often feared.

But when I strut down the street with my prosthetic, I am admired and often approached by strangers

✨STILL DISABLED✨

Disability may become more palatable for you due to the aesthetics of the “able gaze,” but ! am just as disabled when I am in my wheelchair as I am when I am using my prosthetic.

Disability is not a LOOK.
It is a form of identity.

Me too tbh 😂🥕🤓

Louis and Zayn on stage during the Where We Are Tour in 2014

Louis and Zayn’s reunion last night has set my inner carrot on FIRE 🔥 🥕

My entire feed is filled with One Direction pictures and references again.

I’m playing Take Me Home on repeat.

Here’s a picture I took back at Soldier Field during the Where We Are Tour.

It feels like 2014 and I’m THRILLED 😍

📣 DON’T FORGET ABOUT US 📣

EVERY issue is a disability rights issue ❗️❗️❗️

Every minority group includes disabled people ♿️

Make sure your coverage and advocacy is intersectional 🙏🏼

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song

For all my fellow Taylor and Travis stans out there, I just want to be clear…

that we are also obsessed with them, right? 😍

Tuesday morning check in: are you taking CARE of yourself?

Drink some water, put down your phone, and take some deep breaths 🖤

Need some good news?

Starting this week the sun will set after 5 PM 🥳☀️

SWIFTIE SUPERBOWL 🏈

Scott Swift is about to have his very own Sophie’s Choice…

Hey siri… play The Alchemy by Taylor Swift #SwiftieSuperbowl

What do we think Taylor Swift will wear to the Super Bowl? 🤔

MORE IMPORTANTLY … what do we think SCOTT SWIFT will wear? 👀

IT’S HAPPENING.

The Chiefs are playing the Eagles for the championship game

WE ARE GETTING A SWIFTIE SUPERBOWL 😍

Graduated valedictorian of my high school class… but at what cost 🤭🎓😅

Disabled and chronically ill kids, like myself, are told so often that we are worth less than non disabled people.

So, it’s quite common for us to develop a perfectionist mindset.

Anyone else struggle with this growing up? 😬

SWIFTIE NEWS ALERT 🚨

Both the Eagles and the Chiefs won their respective games this weekend so there is a chance for a MEGA Swiftie Super Bowl.

I’m talking “eagles tshirt hanging from the door” x “he just comes running over to me” mashup potential 😍

Hyper independent disabled baddie here ✌🏼

Disabled people, and especially disabled women, are used to over compensating and getting things done on their own.

Sometimes it’s about proving our worth, other times it’s about control.

And for people like me, it’s some ✨fun✨ combination of the two 🤗

This is how I spent Inauguration Day.

Remember, joy is an act of resistance and focusing in on things you can change and control is how we organize 💚💙💛

Hey Siri, play Cassandra by Taylor Swift

Moral of the story…

STOP asking disabled people, “what happened?” in 2025.

I promise there are so many more interesting things about us than our potential trauma 👍🏼

Things more interesting about me than HOW I became disabled

• I didn’t try a taco until I was 22
• I’ve been trying to get divorced for 2 years
• I am good at rock climbing
• The liquid ink red lipstick from @maybellinenyc.bsky.social in shade Pioneer is my favorite year round accessory /1
