@AimiHamraie @IBJIYONGI I do! I rarely hop on Twitter, so glad I caught this while being on today. Are there any specific thoughts we are hoping for?

I’m so used to blind people saying they thought I was white, it doesn’t surprise me now. When you do image descriptions, don’t skip race. Don’t leave room for harmful assumptions. This is #intersectionality. I made a video on inclusive descriptions

Got a nifty shout out from one of my best friends and also realized I hadn't shared this here, so, if you're interested, go check out my shop, please!

“I don’t see your disability” is not a compliment.

See the disability.
Don’t devalue disabled people.

I don’t have special needs.
I am not special needs.
I am a disabled person.
My needs are human.

The thing about multiple disabilities I don't think people understand is how they all affect one another. I've been anxious all day about an appointment tomorrow which causes my asthma to flare up and my spasticity to worsen. They're not separate from one another.

A note to non-disabled people: don't question clearly stated access needs. Ever. It's not up to you to decide what a disabled person can/cannot do. Disabilities are dynamic. 1/5

@allysonshughes @Heather_RoseW @GaetaAmy Ah, oh my gosh, thank you both so much for the kind words and thinking of me!!! ♥️ (red heart emoji)

A mantra for disabled people:

I’m not a burden to the world.
Inaccessibility is a burden to me.

I’m not a burden to the world.
Inaccessibility is a burden to me.

Say it with me:

I’m NOT a burden to the world.
Inaccessibility is a burden to me.

Ableism is ableism even if it is unintentional. - @HabenGirma #axecon

[Nell (she/her/hers) @AccessNell]

This is my first opportunity to hear @HabenGirma speak, and her presentation is giving me life. So grateful for this opportunity! #axecon

What a brilliant quote: "Just to be clear - eating is NOT a special need." I. Love. It.

[Nell (she/her/hers) @AccessNell]

@cariefisher @HabenGirma @dequesystems I'd be baffled if there wasn't one already. 😂 (laughing emoji)

[Nell (she/her/hers) @AccessNell]

@cariefisher @HabenGirma @dequesystems Literally just opened my Twitter solely to Tweet about @HabenGirma and so glad to see I'm not alone! <3 (heart emoji)

we don't have enough vaccines for healthcare workers and frontline workers, but the NYPD who REFUSE to wear masks and spit in peoples faces... get to skip the line.

abolition >>> everything
