If anyone wants support during this time but doesn’t have anyone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to call a crisis or support line. That’s why they exist.
Also, our DMs are open and we’ll help where we can. #COVIDー19

[The Access Project @TheAccessProjec]

Stay accessible if only for selfish reasons

[The Access Project @TheAccessProjec]

What’s one thing that’s made you as a disabled person feel safer as the #COVID19 crisis continues?
I feel more thankful for Skype and Lysol wipes more than ever. Isolating without feeling isolated.

[Diary of a Disabled Person🍉 @WheelerDax]

When out in public as a #disabled person, do you ever just feel like screaming "I'm right here!"?
Using a #wheelchair instantly makes you invisible. People step in front of you. People swing bags at you. People wave cigarettes in your face. People only talk to the nearest abled.

[The Access Project @TheAccessProjec]

Share if you or someone you know was an expert in living this way before it was trending . We see you.

[The Access Project @TheAccessProjec]

They could always do it, they just didn’t want to

[The Access Project @TheAccessProjec]

If your self-care doesn’t feel helpful, it’s probably not you.#disabilitytwitter #CommunityCounts

[The Access Project @TheAccessProjec]

“Do you actually need help or are you just lazy?” And other ways disabled ppl learn to doubt/gaslight ourselves:
• can you do that or are you being unrealistic?
• accept your disability
Go on, name the one’s you’ve heard.
