To the girl in the middle seat in row 30 (30E) on United flight 299 to New Orleans;
I hope you know I can hear you talking shit about my issues with my wheelchair and boarding. You’re a cunt. I shouldn’t have to fight to have my chair returned safely.

2 travelers say their wheelchairs were lost on same United Airlines flight. https://t.co/FTEfNR4Oyd

@WhoDatTime @hopepforthebest @neha_parikh @united @iah Do you think I’ve had nothing to do while my chair is STILL MISSING?! I was supposed to leave for #kingofthehammers but instead, I’m bedridden.

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@WhoDatTime @hopepforthebest @neha_parikh @united @iah But there was no equitable option. Those chairs that you saw them bring wouldn’t have worked for someone like me. (No abs) They are dangerous, make us a massive fall risk and don’t allow for independent transfers to use the bathroom.
But I’m so sorry you had to sit in economy.

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@WhoDatTime @hopepforthebest @neha_parikh @united @iah You are upset because you didn’t get to sit in the seat you wanted and I’m selfish? My independence was taken. My wheelchair isn’t a piece of baggage you can just pick up whenever. If they had a chair that would have allowed me to move independently, it would have been different.

@united @kindofaquad @PVA1946 How can this keep happening to my child?? Do you realize you are losing peoples Legs??!!? Seriously I’m furious How can you let this keep happening again and again? Get it together United.. next stop calling my congressman @RepSpanberger

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@WhoDatTime @hopepforthebest @neha_parikh @united @iah Again, I’m sorry you were delayed. But I’m not sorry for standing my ground. I will continue to remain seated in my flight seat until my mobility device has been safely returned to me to continue on about my independent life.

@WhoDatTime @hopepforthebest @neha_parikh @united @iah Thanks for reminding me that my progressive disease has gotten worse over the last 3 years from when that photo and video was taken. 😂 I sincerely hope none of the advocacy I do for the disabled community is needed by you in your lifetime.

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@neha_parikh Oh no! 😫

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@hopepforthebest @neha_parikh @united @iah I hope as a mother, you would realize that my mom was sitting on the other side of the country HELPLESS as her daughters independence was taken away again. This time due to negligence. I’m sorry it was an inconvenience to your daughter, but think of the inconvenience I just faced

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@neha_parikh @united @iah @PVA1946 Thank you 🫶🏼 I hope this is a MASSIVE wake up call that they need to fix and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Super sad at the news of #KenBlock’s passing. He was such a rad human. I had the honor of chasing for him for his first #VegastoReno race in the Trophy Truck. Glad I took the time to ask him questions, and get to know him. Rest in Peace. Prayers for peace to the family 🙏🏼

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

Great advice! And who needs to be sane when you’ve got a good #dailybrief in your life anyways 😎

[Katy Talyancich @KatyTaly]

@kindofaquad Ha! Who said I am. It's a giant chess game. You let them fall. You let them fail. You sit with them in the darkness. 🤐 Rinse and repeat. Swimming against the tide and trusting that your way is legit. Gotta look after #1 and trust the process. 😍

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

@katykunkel How do you stay sane?

[Karah Behrend @kindofaquad]

What a legacy! 👸🏼#RIPQueenElizabeth
