Arriving at my hometown, like... "It's me. Hi! I'm the problem, it's me." Haha Nah, but I did do my hair & feel overdressed at the doctors 😅 Just a reminder from your friendly neighbourhood #BabeWithAMobilityAid to get your checkups and take care of your health. [ID: An image from a set Bette did for a burlesque show. Bette has light skin bold make up with winged eyeliner and pink lipstick and has her pink hair curled in a vintage style. She wears a pink hairflower, vintage hot pink robe and a hot pink "futuristic" bullet bra & matching tap pants from Bettie Page. She is holidng thr stand of a microphone and singing. A spotlight is focused on Bette] #Music #Musician #Musicians #MusicianLife #MusiciansLife #MusiciansOfInstagram   #PinUp #PinUpGirl #PinUpStyle  #PinUpHair #PinkPinUp #PinkHair #PinkAesthetic  #PinUps  #PinUpGirls  #PinUpFashion #PinUpLife #PinUpsOfInstagram #Vintage #Retro #OldFashioned  #Singer #Songwriter #SingerSongWriter #Uke #Ukulele #VintageStyleNotVintageValues #MelbourneMusician https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJc-IrSpsB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Help?

I once had a friend who invited me out to a film. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My mind started to race. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I started wondering if it was possible if I could even go?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ At first I didn’t voice my insecurities out loud because I didn’t want to be a bother. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I just silently circulated thoughts in my head about all of the accommodations I would have to ask for in order to make this outing happen. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I started getting overwhelmed. I thought about saying no. It’s just going to be too hard. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m going to have to ask the location if they can accommodate people using mobility aids (I didn’t identify as Disabled at the time). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m going to have to be seen in public with a mobility aid and I haven’t done that before - what if someone I know approaches me and asks me what happened to me? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Will the washrooms be accessible? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Will I be able to reserve a seat on the end of a row so I don’t have to sit in the middle? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I finally voiced my fears out loud to my friend, and she said - “oh it’s okay I’ve already taken care of it and phoned the theater to make sure we would be accommodated.” ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Like it wasn’t even a thing for them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Relief washed over me. My mind was calm. I could breathe again. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I had never had anyone think about my accessibility needs before having to even tell them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Make sure accessibility is a priority before inviting your Disabled friends & family anywhere. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Make it easy for us to just say yes because we know you’ve got it covered. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If a place says they’re not accessible? Tell them why they should be. Then find an accessible location that will accommodate your friends needs. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is how we are all included. This is how we start to make the world a more accessible and inclusive place. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ @tovahsfine #AccessibilityMatters #DisabilityRights #DisabilityAwareness #DisabledAndCute #BabeWithAMobilityAid #AccessibilityForAll #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion ⁣ ⁣ (at Everywhere :)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqtWVlLdF3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
