I recognize the privilege in being able to buy a scale that $$. It’s absurd that I HAVE TO order to understand my body’s needs & stay alive when most people can get one for under $30 on @amazon or at @cvspharmacy #CripTaxIs literally killing people
#MedicalAbleism
#CripTax 2/2

[Karin Hitselberger @Karinonwheels]

#CripTaxIs having to spend more than 10x as much on a medically necessary scale than folks who can stand unassisted do because nowhere near you has one for wheelchair users and it’s not covered by insurance #MedicalAbleism #CrippleTax #TheCostOfBeingDisabled
#CripTax 1/2

@Eschumer I’m so sorry Lizz! Let me know if I can support you 💕

#UnpopularOpinion Miranda Priestly was totally wrong. Florals for spring CAN be groundbreaking, especially if you exist in a body like mine and you are constantly told to avoid wearing "loud prints" and attracting attention to yourself! #plussizefashion https://t.co/nFeim1L7LR

@RebeccaCokley Looking at the list this just feels wild, but I may be missing something, but it does not feel very diverse or representative at all

Despite what you see on TV, disabled people don’t exist just to be props, life lessons, or teaching moments for non-disabled people, or to be a tragic cautionary tale. We have unique, beautiful, and diverse stories to share if you’re willing to listen. #DisabilityIRL #Disability

[Karin Hitselberger @Karinonwheels]

To activists known and unknown who showed up and demanded to be seen and acknowledged, I am forever grateful. To those who refused to apologize for how their bodies show up in the world, I am honored to carry on this work through my words, my selfies, and my refusal to disappear.

[Karin Hitselberger @Karinonwheels]

Don't use our existence as a vehicle to make other people feel sorry for you. You are allowed to have feelings about how the inaccessibility and ableism that exists all around us makes life harder for us, and by extension you, but please remember WE aren't the problem, society is

[Karin Hitselberger @Karinonwheels]

Attention nondisabled people: Disabled people are people. We have our own wants, needs, and desires. We have feelings and we are affected by the way you talk about our lives. We are not a tragedy placed upon your life or nothing more than a burden. (Thread)

@Imani_Barbarin If you’re talking press-ons, I’m all about #OliveandJune they’re new to the press-on game, but I love all the options they have! If you use nail polish try the poppy tool from them as well. It was a total game changer for me in terms of accessibility! https://t.co/HGJujAEKkk
