People going out of their way to be cruel to disabled people during a month when the disabled community is celebrating the anniversary of the passage of ADA really speaks volumes about the state of things right now.

Reading the remarks on Disability Pride Month posts where 90% of commenters think everything involving more than 3 colors is a rainbow and don’t understand what they are experiencing anger about:

Disability Pride Flag Redesign Explained 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚

Happy Disability Pride Month! 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚

July is Disability Pride Month. Here is an explanation of why we celebrate. 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚 #DisabilityPrideMonth

Most institutions did not exist to benefit disabled people. Institutions existed to segregate disabled people. Institutions existed to warehouse disabled people. Institutions existed to hide disabled people.

Disability pride is not power being proud of our disabilities or the fact that we are disabled; disability pride is about celebrating our wonderful community. 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚

July is Disability Pride Month - just 1 week from today! In preparation, here are the meanings behind each color in the flag. 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚

It’s wild to me when people say things like, “Disabled people can just put their minds to it and accomplish anything a non-disabled person can,“ as if there aren’t a million external barriers, forced poverty, and our own disabled bodies standing in the way.

Wheelchair accessible trampoline:

The reality is that most food stamps recipients look nothing like the “lazy, freeloading degenerate” caricature those who oppose these benefits have created. 15% are active-duty service members. Nearly 30% work and pay taxes. The other 70% of recipients are elderly, disabled, or children.

“Work requirements” without changes to a system that makes it impossible for many disabled people to work in the first place is just eugenics. If you want more disabled people to be able to work, offer remote work, make public transportation more accessible, and actually hire disabled employees.

“Fully remote EXCEPT” is not fully remote. “Fully remote but need to come in regularly” is not fully remote. “Fully remote to get you to click apply but is not actually remote” is not fully remote.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are all empty terms without the true belief of and dedication to making the disabled community a true part of the larger community.

If you are going to use outdated terminology, please at least spell it correctly.

Ableists like to act as though inaccessibility is unavoidable and not manufactured. Read that again.

Dear fellow disabled people and awesome allies: Keep calling out inaccessibility. Keep sharing your own lived experiences. Keep shining a light on injustice.

There is a whole lot of pretending to care about disabled people in society. If society actually cared about its members with disabilities: Almost every house would not have only stairs to get in. Access needs would be treated with the upmost importance. The ADA would be regularly enforced.

Inaccessible houses mean disabled kids not being able to visit their friends and non-disabled kids not being able to have their disabled friends over.

Disabled people should not have to pay extra for access. Disabled people should not have to pay extra for mobility. Disabled people should not have to pay extra to live.

It’s weird how often companies use the term “talent” when they actually mean SKILL. Being able to utilize an HR program or make an effective PowerPoint presentation are skills that can be learned by pretty much anyone given the opportunity and time. Corporate skills are not talents.

Me learning about the existence of a virus I had previously been blissfully unaware of:

Many disabled people are unable to produce the curated image of visible performative busyness that the corporate world idealizes. Simply put, we do not fit their phony image of a hard worker, despite statistics that overwhelmingly show the opposite to be true.

Poor people are not “abusing the system.” Poor people are being abused BY the system.

Why are disability advocacy and awareness important? Because history has consistently shown the disabled community that if we do not speak up and advocate for our needs, we are often just forgotten and left to rot.

Airbus has just demoed and successfully tested Airspace U Suite, an accessible seating and securement system that would allow wheelchair users to remain seated in their own mobility devices while flying.

Companies: “Of course we focus on disability inclusion!” The inclusion: 👱🏻‍♂️ 👱🏻‍♀️👱🏻‍♂️👨🏻‍🦳👱🏻‍♂️ 👱🏻‍♀️👱🏻‍♂️👩🏻👱🏻‍♂️👨🏽‍🦱👱🏻‍♂️👱🏻‍♂️ 👩‍🦽👩🏻‍🦳👱🏻‍♂️👨🏻‍🦼‍➡️👨🏻‍🦯👨🏻‍🦽👴🏻👴🏽👱🏻‍♀️🧑🏾‍🦼‍➡️

SeaWorld is being sued by the Department of Justice for banning seated rollators from its parks. SeaWorld claims the mobility aids are being used improperly and offers “alternative” mobility aids for guests.

The burden of inaccessibility should not be placed on the disabled community. People with disabilities should not be responsible for needing to fix things that were built without them in mind in order to function and live their lives.

The burden of inaccessibility should not be placed on the disabled community. People with disabilities should not be responsible for needing to fix things that were built without them in mind in order to function and live their lives. Yet, here we are.

Outdoor stairlift:

Sliding barn doors can enhance accessibility and are a great alternative to standard doors for many mobility users.

The job market is so bad right now that even this guy would have trouble getting a job:

“Isn’t it nice that this place is accessible?!” Naw man, it’s literally the law.

Pull-down clothing rods can help make closets more accessible to wheelchair users:

A company can call itself inclusive towards disabled employees all it wants, but does it: Offer fully remote positions? Make the recruiting and hiring process accessible and equitable to disabled job seekers? Honor reasonable accommodations? Inclusion is just a buzzword without action.
