I wish some non-disabled ppl understood how liberating it is for a disabled person to accept and even *love* their disabled body. My disability makes me feel powerful and strong. It's so inherently a part of how I see the world. When you look at me, you should see it.
Something similar happen to me years before some of these features were available. I tried to break the car window while hysterically crying after telling the driver I was at the wrong location in the dark. I ended up home and safe but the trauma stays with me. #ProtectWomen
On Saturday, June 17, I was on a Lyft ride in Washington, D.C. that made me fear for my safety.
My driver missed numerous turns, prolonging my ride. In the midst of D.C. traffic, he almost hits a car and slams on his breaks, stopping about a foot from the car in front of him-
Thank you @TheAnthemDC for always trying to make things as accessible as possible at shows. Big love and thanks to Michael who went above and beyond to make sure I was accommodated for The National show tonight. Means more than you know 😊
Hey #DisabilityTwitter! I could use some recommendations for kids books focused on disability that aren’t problematic/gross. We’re putting a ton of books on the our baby registry and I’d like to read all the disability books to my kid who will be joining the planet in 7 weeks 🫶🏼
It's insulting to a person that I knew beyond her public status. Someone who fiercely loved her community, and supported so many young folks with disabilities like myself. Judy loved us and we loved her. She deserves so much better than what we're seeing. Rest in power, Judy ❤️
No, but really. How? Nothing @nytimes? She's a literal icon and so much of our world wouldn't be what it was without her leadership and advocacy. She got an honorary doctorate from NYU for crying out loud!
You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.
You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.
It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.
My flight from CLT to BWI on WEDNESDAY was just cancelled. The earliest I can get back is New Year's Eve 🙃 I've never seen anything like this. @SouthwestAir
This will truly be my last time flying out of @BWI_Airport but absolutely appreciate the sweet wheelchair attendant who did help me thru security and she was patient & kind. #flyingwhiledisabled
By far the absolute worst experience @BWI_Airport this AM. I understand large crowds, but telling #disabled ppl to wait in long lines to check bags & having an employee insult my appearance was over the line & totally rude. #flyingwhiledisabled
Drake copped a new custom diamond necklace called “Previous Engagement” made of 42 engagement rings, representing the 42 times he thought of proposing to different women but he decided not to‼️😳🔥💎
IS THIS REAL LIFE?? I'M SOMEONE YOU CAN HEAR ON @Spotify?? So immensely proud of this album and all of the work that went into it. So elated to finally be able to share it more widely with the world. Check out tracks 6, 7 and 8 to hear me sing! https://t.co/iTnXT4bCil
I also want to mention that @poetryrox and I did some of the final production of these tracks to get them over the finish line with our mix and mastering team! This band has been through so much, but so proud of all the gigs we've been able to play & sharing these songs. ❤️
