Medical staff to me a wheelchair user: “You seem to be resisting the acceptance of your limits.” Me: “What I am resisting is you or any other person setting limits for me without even knowing me.” Disabled people, not others, set our own limits.

Hospital staffer: “We’re going to keep your wheelchair out in the hallway.” Me: “No. I need it at bedside. I never let it out of my sight.” Staffer: “Sorry. It’s protocol.” Me: “I don’t care about protocol. It stays here.” Don’t ever separate a wheelchair from a wheelchair user.

Can someone please tell me what happens if an @NDIS participant exhausts their Core funding and has been denied an early plan review multiple times?

Going to your other friends for “fun” & pictures while coming to me for help & assistance is very telling on where I stand in your life.
What is your unpopular opinion about friends that will have you like this.

It is not acceptable that the Federal government has decided to effectively cut the NDIS in half. And so, we fight. This will be a fight of epic proportions. But we are many, and we vote. As do our family and supporters, as well as our workers. Bring it on. We are up for this.

In Australia It is legal and common to pay disabled people under $5 an hour. And those working within what is effectively our domestic slave trade are rewarded for wage injustice and exploitation. This is not okay. There is no public outcry. That’s not okay either.

I hope Johnny Depp just does movies under his own production company Infinitum and not with any of these Major production companies like Warner Brothers or Disney. None of them stood by him, he should now show them how he can stand alone with us and without them. #JohnnyDeppWins

Camille Vasquez is the unrivaled star of the Depp trial. Her measured tone, incisive questions, total command of the facts and clear belief in her client are laudable. #TruthWins

For disabled people hiding in our homes while the pandemic rages isn’t anxiety. It’s locking the door to a safe room during a massacre. We must retreat - for years if necessary - until a world lost to reason finally comes to its senses and says ‘they were right!’

Store employee to me a wheelchair user: “It’s just one step. You should be able to get in.” Note to nondisabled people: Access for disabled people does not mean your idea of access. One step is not access.

There will come a time when I can share more about the events of the past year. Until then, I’m going to let the facts speak for themselves: drive.google.com/file/d/1Llo…

A reminder that disabled people already have rights. We don’t need them interrogated, we need them upheld.

If Trump wins with a high turnout he will have a mandate to break democracy, incite numerous wars, spread right wing extremism and cement dangerous ties with Russia and other autocrats. A terrifying moment for the world #democracy #USElections2020
