My friend sent a text, and he...is...cross as fuck!😡

Let me tell able-bodied people what a #disabledqueer    friend of mine told me, after his last shopping trip.

#DisabledPeople are capable of thinking and doing for themselves. If they need our help, they will ask for it.

It is ableist to assume that anyone walking with a cane and wearing a mask is elderly, (when, in this case, this man is 29 years old and disabled after a #gaybashing).

Whether someone is elderly or a young disabled person or an elderly disabled person, don't create a narrative about who and what they are.

Do not assume they are 'feeble'.

Don't speak in a condescending tone. They are not children!

How DARE anyone wince at the sight of a physically disabled person.

The interpersonal dynamics of getting one of those "always glad to help, call me anytime" friends to actually show up and help with a task at a specific time has once again proven almost more than this disabled autistic queerdo can handle. The TL;DR: task got done, but not before a text, 2 phone calls, and an almost-meltdown. 😬

#DisabilityPrideMonth history lesson! 📚 ♿

Did you know the 504 Sit-In for #disabilityrights took place outside ERA's former San Francisco office ❓❓

Led by Judy Heumann, Kitty Cone & strongly supported by the Black Panthers, the sit-in spread nationally & helped change federal law.

Watching my federal government continue to play chicken with looming default ... and among many other things, the lives of retirees and disabled people including myself.

I have willingly paid into Social Security my entire working life. Including double whenever I was working freelance. That's my damn money, and damn you for messing with it in my time of need.

I'm suddenly on a bit of a major Ian Dury trip, which has been very entertaining to say the least... but then this morning my brain was all suddenly telling me: "dude, here's the drag king role you've been looking for, you gimpy punk geezer you!" ... and now I can't stop giggling and planning outfits. I dunno if I'll ever take to a stage with this but damn is this idea giving me life right now 💗💗💗
