Most of us will experience some form of trauma or wounding in our lifetime. Trauma and disability are essential parts of what make us human and what connects us to one another.

Fighting ableism is a Sisyphean task. First, the bar is so low with some folks & orgs that you have to start with the basics. Second, you get similar requests for information & labor constantly. Third, this type of labor is rarely compensated. #SuckItAbleism #AccessIsLove

Fighting ableism is basically being a professional whack-a-mole player. As soon as you knock down one ableist, another one pops up. But of course no one pays you for your work, because who takes professional whack-a-mole-ing (read: activism, education, emotional labor) seriously?

Carrie Ann created disability culture, family, and community. She lifted people up and defended their rights. She fought the system with every tool at her disposal. She loved her friends and family fiercely.

get cleaned up and get back to class. At first, you are so relieved that you just don't care. The warmth of the urine gives way to a cold soggy mess that marinates your skin. I don't think of these moments as humiliating or undignified. These are moments of survival.

There is such shame about our bodyminds & the loss of 'control' over our bowels and bladder. The smells, the mess, the clean-up involved... To me as a kid, here is the unspoken ableist message: this is the trade-off/sacrifice you gotta give in order to participate in society.

Hunger and thirst became a normal state for me as a young person who desperately tried to keep up, fit in, & not draw any additional attention to myself. I never questioned the structural and cultural conditions. I never felt entitled to the basics (freedom to pee whenever).

Housing is a disability issue 👇 "Once a safeguard against homelessness, disability payments can’t keep up with the rent" #CripTheVote #SocialSecurity

Definition: Tokens are people who get used by groups of people as a figure to show that the group is inclusive. Groups that use people as tokens do not listen to those people, or their community members. “Tokenizing” is making a person into a token. #CripTheVote
