Today (December 3rd) is International Day of People with Disabilities - and so I thought I would share this graphic which emphasises that not all disabilities are visible.
This year's theme is 'fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress'; which on a purely practical level make sense as so much promise & potential is lost when people with disabilities are excluded or suffer prejudice in the workplace & more widely!

PLEASE BOOST.
Still new here, and would love some more mutuals with fibromyalgia, cPTSD, BPD, and DID/plurality and other conditions, like me. Disabled gang, let's follow one another and build community!

Dr Oz isn’t mincing words, he’s stating the regime’s eugenicist goals loud & clear
“Want to drop the cost of healthcare in America? Get healthy”
Where does that leave disabled and chronically ill people?
We can’t “choose” to get healthy.
Just like we didn’t “choose” to be disabled.
They have no plan for healthcare.
Their plan is to leave us behind.

Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities.
She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice.
She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor.
She won’t be forgotten.
Don’t let the bastards grind you down:

Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
Disability activist Alice Wong has died.
"Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, and full of love."
She founded Crips for eSims for Gaza, which raised millions for phone connectivity for Palestinians in Gaza.
Remembering these words from the now late Alice Wong today: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

COVID Isn’t Going Anywhere. Masking Up Could Save My Life.
Disability Visibility is a column on being disabled in a nondisabled world.Alice Wong (Teen Vogue)
My heart is so heavy … I lost a friend and mentor yesterday and the disability community lost a leader.
The incomparable Alice Wong passed away.
She inspired me to find my voice. She encouraged me to take up space and embrace my disabled body.
To be visible in a world that seeks to make us invisible.
To be unapologetic about the ways I am different and the things I need to move through this world.
To be a voice for those who don’t have one and to always fight against ableism and eugenics.
I can’t believe she’s gone.
The Disabled Ginger wouldn’t exist without her, and I hope that I can honour her memory through my writing.
Hug your loved ones close.
Remember none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow and may we all be as visible, proud and fierce as Alice was.
