Wheelchair users: What have your #rideshare experiences been like? Take a @UnitedSpinal survey: https://t.co/ZXvGlMgXam

Man in line to me a wheelchair user:”How long have you suffered from your disability?”

Suffering & disability are not synonymous.
Disabled people suffer at times.
Disabled people thrive at times.

The conflation of disability & suffering is errant & ableist.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Man at bus stop seeing me, a wheelchair user:
“I don’t have time to wait for a wheelchair to get on.”

Wheelchair users know about waiting.The resistance to us riding buses kept them inaccessible for years. Your wait is minimal. Our wait for access persists.

So, @PopeyesChicken is selling "emotional support chickens" (really, a box of 3 chicken tenders) @PHLAirport during the holidays. Funny or a disservice to REAL #service and support animals?

#Accessibility needs to be the rule ALL the time, not just when it's easy or convenient.
