Resharing my lived experience of being
Disabled at The Eras Tour❤️

My thoughts are with Senator Chris Murphy and his family today. Stroke and neurological injury are difficult for the American mind to comprehend. We talk about getting “back to normal” as the only appropriate outcome.
Please be mindful when discussing stroke today.

McDonald’s Monopoly as a recession indicator is all fun games until you see the prizes you can win this year. This is a real screenshot I took from the app 🫣.

The best part of Ed Markey’s victory party was hearing the head of The Christopher Street Project, Tyler Hack, put the meaning of this win into words. “If you want to lead this party, there has to be a line you will not cross. And attacking human beings is that line.” 🩵🤍🩷

It’s a beautiful rainy day to vote for Ed Markey! Sending love to ALL the campaign staff and volunteers on progressive campaigns who practice the relentless optimism inherent in trying to make a better world 💙.
Moulton is most MA primary voters 3rd choice - many Dems would’ve preferred Markey pass the torch to a progressive (Pressley). But if that is not gonna happen, they still vote Markey *despite* his age (2nd choice). Moulton wants voters to elect him *because* of age. #mapoli
The Markeyverse was the first place I felt valued as a disabled volunteer 💜. #Markeyverse #mapoli #disabilityvisibility
The TikTok ban is disastrous for people with disabilities.

Throwback article from 2022 I wrote about when flying while #disabled
“Friendly skies can become deadly for us when our mobility aids are treated as worthless of the care they deserve,” wrote @VilissaThompson on the hazards disabled people face when flying.

I was @eranryin until 2020 when I created an account hoping to join the #Markeyverse (which didn’t have a name yet!). #Moms4Markey was born and 4 days later I was hospitalized and became disabled. Yes I remember :).
Do you remember when you joined? #MyXAnniversary

This is happening in Massachusetts. Health Insurance is not healthcare and I’m so. So. Tired.

Here’s an MRI of the hole in my brain that stopped growing thanks to my meds.

It’s not a healthcare system, it’s a health insurance system, and the goal is not care. I’m so tired of fighting it
