#internationaldayofpeoplewithdisabilities — Public Fediverse posts

Yesterday was the international day for disabled people. I only know of one local event celebrating it, and it isn't accessible because attendees aren't being asked to wear masks. Also, it isn't being streamed. It claims to be accessible and inclusive.

I do not appreciate the irony.

One of the single best things you can do for us on International Day of People with Disabilities is wear a mask.

Make public spaces safe for us again. Join us in demanding masks in healthcare and clean air in all public buildings.

Refuse to leave us by the wayside.

Today is #InternationalDayofPeoplewithDisabilities, and in this game, one of the love interests, Hannah, is disabled. I'm committed to promoting inclusivity in my games.

PSA: The US has a state-based network of #disability rights organizations that provide free legal advocacy services to #disabled people: the federally mandated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems and Client Assistance Programs (CAP).

In #California it’s DRC: https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/

The severity varies. This is not stopping me from appearing in public or on TV! Most often - I don’t give a damn what anonymous others may think abt my blinking, wandering eyes, my funny faces. But! Please be considerate. Not everyone feels comfortable disclosing their disabilities. Living with one does not make those any less felt or less real. We are ridiculed, mocked, laughed at. Please have a think before you judge. #InternationalDayofPeopleWithDisabilities

Today is #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities. Bcs of LC, and thanks to #NHS, I have recently been diagnosed with not one but two rare long-term autoimmune conditions. One is myasthenia gravis, where the immune system damages the communication system between the nerves and muscles, making the muscles weak and easily tired. In my case, it affects the eyes and face but is spreading to other parts of the body. For now, it affects my eyes, eyelids, my facial expressions, breathing.
