  1. I'm one disabled woman, with 2 hoes, 2 shovels & 4 bags of alternative covercrop seeds. Determined to create more backyard spaces to increase our homegrown food security 👩‍🌾
    I can do it. Slowly.

  2. Paralympics opening ceremony is today, Friday. What percentage of those who watched Olympic events will watch Paralympic events, do you think? How many para-allies are out there?

    Edit: to reflect the fact that today is, indeed, Friday.

  3. @actuallyautistic Oh, and yeah. I was the one who won the 50-yard and 100-yard dashes in HS (against fellow AFABs, but could have competed with the boys), and I graduated with HONORS from HS and College (with a degree specializing in Ancient Greek), and have loved and been loved by many. I've had a full life (but it could have been way fuller *IF* I hadn't been bullied and knew more about my unique abilities -- not disabilties -- at a younger age)!

  4. Excellent 2nd #AdaptiveSailing session today! My instructor today, Kate, is very knowledgeable & keen to help me learn more so I can enter future Mobility Cup regattas. I manned sailboat for almost full session today & she gave me guidance only when needed. There was more breezes so we didn't need to be towed out or back. My next session is on August 4th 😊⛵️

    Lunching with Mom on back deck before we get some gardening tasks done 👩‍🌾 Heading to the Indigenous Music Festival around 5:30pm 🎶🎵 Hampton Park is only 5 minutes from our home & starts at 6pm.

  9. We only got a bit of wind for my first sailing session but Friday forecast calls for cooler temps & more wind on waters. I'll be able to move the sailboat faster! I can try out more tacking & keeling moves. Was able to pick up enough wind, out on open ocean, to keel the sailboat a few times & got waves rushing on/over the gunnels. That was fun & exciting!

  14. I'm overly excited about getting back into #AdaptiveSailing tomorrow morning! I'm out on waters at 10 AM. I'm going to arrive early as I'm not familiar with the marina setup there. It's my first time back at #ParaSailing in 10 yrs. I used to train with disabled sailing association Victoria before it was disbanded. I'm now learning with Able Sail Victoria.

  20. @heathen I can still hike up Little Mt Doug on foot.

    Me, with local Power To Be folks, at summit - when I helped test out a trail rider & train new adaptive recreation assistants from UVIC. It's great for disabled who can't hike anymore BUT it needs able bodied sherpas. I'm seeking something I can use, independently.

    Also, Daryl, in gray shirt & toque is my sledge hockey coach(we're still on hiatus due to covid & losing our ice space at Juan de Fuca Rec).

  21. The next Power to Be Give It a Go open house day is happening on this Sunday, August 13th at Prospect Lake location. Open to all #disabled kids & adults & their families/guardians.
    I'll be there with my Mom.

  22. Safe at home now. Famished & need to eat. Will post more photos later or tomorrow.

    We ended up #hiking the Upper Falls trails at #GoldstreamPark instead. It's accessed via the campground area & the trails there aren't as busy as the main hiking trails accessed through their main parking lot. My friend had never seen the Upper Falls before so I wanted to show her.

  23. "He doesn't speak words he goes boing boing, instead."

    I used to love the short cartoon, Gerald McBoing Boing, as a kid. Coming back as an adult with autistic behaviors, I appreciate it even more for the message of acceptance of those that are different. My heart swells (three times as big) and my eyes tear up in how the world of the story celebrates the child and his parents accept him and they become wealthy. If only the real world was similar.

  24. @nilikm as someone with #deaf family members it’s easy to see how ignored the #differentlyAbled community is. Each state handles #adaptive equipment differently so insurance and warranties are tricky. One has to be aggressive to find the right solutions. And #mentalHealth! Such a struggle in rural areas! So I hope advocates can be found in state and federal government.
