Someone on the train is reading the worst book I’ve ever read and I’d love to know what they think of it, but this is not a book club and they did not sign up for this lmao
Reason #892 why people should stop asking random disabled people if they will ever be a Paralympian, and instead look into all the cool sports they have and learn about them 😎
Friendly reminder that not all disabled people are “allowed” to compete at the Paralympics.
Each sport has very strict disability criteria, some explicitly exclude certain disabilities *for the Paralympics*. You can still play for fun.
For example, when I was a wheelchair user I play(ed) wheelchair basketball, and still do when I can, but I do not have a classifiable disability.
I can still play, but not in most leagues (if any now, it’s been a while).
I am a scientist with #EhlersDanlosSyndrome and my coworker was having hell of a time pipetting some really viscous collagen solution, and I leaned over her shoulder and said “Looks like I’m not the only one with collagen problems anymore”
And I laughed very hard 😂
I made a vlog about my Outstanding Alumni award from @NottmTrentUni 🩷
Thank you isn’t a big enough word, neither is proud or grateful 🩷
(Extra fun because they talked about my videos as part of the citation hehe)
Come win an award with me... [CC]
