“The time of hot chocolaty mornings and toasty marshmallow evenings.”

One thing I would like to talk about real quick, is the thought a lot of disabled people have of "am I disabled enough?"

A lot of disabled people will experience this thought, and I am here to tell you yes, you are. Here is the problem with that phrase. When people look at that phrase, they are comparing themsepves to other disabled people, which isn't what they should be doing to measure if they are disabled or not. Instead, they should look at they're disability like a broken bone.

For example, does a person have POTS but not experience fainting or does very rarely while someone else faints multiple times a week? Or maybe someone with ADHD is able to do homework if they have a body double while another person isnt able to unless they take they're medication. Instead of saying one is nit disabled and the other isn't, say one is a sprained ankle and the other is a broken one. They both need treatment and help, just different levels of it. Doesn't mean either one isn't disabled.

Make Her Proud ✊🏽

 -

Many white lgbtq folks have spoken out about their distaste for the current riots and protests that are happening across the US right now, but still want to celebrate pride. 

So in honor of pride month, here’s a quick history lesson. 

This is Marsha P. Johnson, a black trans woman, and the reason we can celebrate pride today. 

In the year 1969, the police were raiding gay bars and nightclubs and arresting people by the dozens. This had been going on for several months when one night, the police showed up at the Stonewall Club, and began their usual arrests.

 One of the cops pushed a woman against a cop car, hurting her head and causing her to cry out in pain, and that was when Marsha decided enough was enough. She grabbed her shot glass and threw it at the wall, and so began the Stonewall riots, which went on for several days. 

Starting to sound familiar? 

Marsha took a stand for the community and she started the long tradition that lead to the Pride we know today. So not only was pride a riot, it was started by a woman of color. So now, it’s time to pay it back. Stand up for your black and brown brothers and sisters as we fight oppression, just as we fought for you.

 Fuck Shit Up. 

Give Them Hell.
