Yesterday was the international day for disabled people. I only know of one local event celebrating it, and it isn't accessible because attendees aren't being asked to wear masks. Also, it isn't being streamed. It claims to be accessible and inclusive.

I do not appreciate the irony.

One of the single best things you can do for us on International Day of People with Disabilities is wear a mask.

Make public spaces safe for us again. Join us in demanding masks in healthcare and clean air in all public buildings.

Refuse to leave us by the wayside.

The severity varies. This is not stopping me from appearing in public or on TV! Most often - I don’t give a damn what anonymous others may think abt my blinking, wandering eyes, my funny faces. But! Please be considerate. Not everyone feels comfortable disclosing their disabilities. Living with one does not make those any less felt or less real. We are ridiculed, mocked, laughed at. Please have a think before you judge. #InternationalDayofPeopleWithDisabilities

Today is #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities. Bcs of LC, and thanks to #NHS, I have recently been diagnosed with not one but two rare long-term autoimmune conditions. One is myasthenia gravis, where the immune system damages the communication system between the nerves and muscles, making the muscles weak and easily tired. In my case, it affects the eyes and face but is spreading to other parts of the body. For now, it affects my eyes, eyelids, my facial expressions, breathing.

On this #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities, let me share a pro of wheelchairs I found out the first time I went out in mine: you're so much closer to all the pettable kitties 💛
