how tf do you ban pronouns

[AAPD @AAPD]

We're hearing some folks may have questions about visual descriptions. Here's how and why to give one:

Visual descriptions are an accessibility practice for blind and low-vision people. We do them to ensure that everyone can have context that sighted people may take in visually.

All right ladies, time to hike up our skirts, hold each other’s hands, and walk to hot topic for some matching rhinestone chastity belts!

[Nia | The Chronic Notebook @chronicnotebook]

One of the hardest parts about chronic illness is the unpredictable nature of it. You don't know how you'll feel in five mins, five weeks or five years. That lack of control over your own body, life an future is devastating and we don't talk about its impact enough.

I WILL CONTINUE TO SAY THIS EVERY YEAR BUT PRIDE IS NOT TRULY INCLUSIVE UNTIL IT IS MADE FULLY ACCESSIBLE FOR DISABLED QUEERS 🏳️‍🌈

[Kyra @_kbeckish]

Can’t wait for companies to start queer-baiting and for me to fall right into it

[Kyra @_kbeckish]

It’s timeeeee!!

Let me echo, pride is for everyone, and how each person chooses to celebrate is up to them.

There’s no wrong or right way to celebrate pride; and there’s no label or out-ness you need to prove to be your best self this month

Happy pride ahhhh

[It Gets Better @ItGetsBetter]

It's the 🏳️‍🌈 most wonderful time of the year! 🏳️‍🌈

So here's your reminder that you don't have to be out, loud, & proud to celebrate yourself.

Pride is for ALL of us!

You're "queer enough" no matter where you are right now, we're here together, and that's what matters. 💜

…so you’re telling me I have to have children just to not be able to feed them and then have them shot in senseless gun violence

💖💛💙 Pansexual/panromantic (pan):

Someone who is attracted to people of any or all genders, or attracted to people regardless of gender.
Some people use the word pansexual as an umbrella term to describe individuals that are attracted to more than one gender, too!

It's #MentalHealthAction Day! We *hear* a lot about mental health, but what can we actually *do* about it?

We've got some things you can do right now:

[Kyra @_kbeckish]

@christinedliao Madison, WI to work in healthcare software! I’m helping hospital workers learn tech that makes medical records accessible universally

[Kyra @_kbeckish]

4 years ago I thought I would drop out of college because of my disability

Now I graduated summa cum laude with a full-time job lined up in June

Friendly vday reminder you should never comment on anyone’s body unprompted, good or bad, because it’s invasive and can trigger EDs

@cleanslatecopy Have someone else read it out loud. You know your own cadence, but it needs to be consumable to a greater audience
