DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 12

Wednesday, July 24, 2024

“My flesh is of the earth, like all bodies. But so is the body of my wheelchair, the titanium extracted from the crust of the earth, an element that happens to be found in Canada. The same crust of ancient rock I crawled across as a kid contains the element needed to build my wheelchair.” – Erin Clark

Questions to ask during Disability Pride Month

Happy Disability Pride Month!

Is your workplace really a place where disabled folks can thrive?

Do you measure the worth of your employees via ableist metrics?

Are you a person-first or a production/resource-first organization?

Do you foster an environment that rehabilitates those suffering from burnout into success or do you give up on them and let them go?

If someone doesn't "look" disabled but tells you that they're disabled, what do you do? How do you react?

What accommodations do you ask for from your employer for your disability?

If a person loses an ability that affects their employment, is the onus of finding a solution fall upon the employee or the employer?

Is it fair that people have to seek out a diagnosis for X disability to receive accommodations, where seeking a diagnosis costs time, money, and, sometimes, humiliation from multiple healthcare providers who may or may not believe you?

Who gets to decide what is considered disabling?

Universal healthcare, maybe?

Is it fair to ask disabled people to file for disability claims, get lawyers, go through paperwork, "prove" their disability, etc. in their country of residence in order to survive when they cannot earn income?

ACCESS AND TIMES ARE HARD

You know in your own personal life that if you do not prioritize something it won't get done, and if you do it does.

It's the same with corporations, businesses, organizations, and institutions, including families.

If this church truly wanted to provide access, they would.

Whenever I post a cartoon addressing disability, sometimes able-people come on and try to get us to be reasonable. Some even say we should be focusing on the spiritual rather than the physical.

Meanwhile, my disabled friends all relate to the cartoons and actually claim the church is one of the most ableist institutions and Christians are the most ableist people on the planet.

For all kinds of reasons: 

Jesus is coming back soon, so why bother? You should be healed, and your presence is an admission of failure. God is all powerful, so we don't embrace weakness. We need to prioritize our money to support the ministry and save the nations.

I don't disagree.

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth

I wrote a poem titled “SICK”. I decided to post it here while it’s July (2023), Disability Pride Month.

Image description: A brown paper journal lays open on top of light blue bed sheets. The page holds a poem written with grey and maroon colored pencils. An orange knit beanie lingers in the top right of the photo, creating a soft arched shadow that hesitates right above the poem. The title of the poem “SICK” appears in big letters and has an added effect that could be described as creating a shadow or a 3-Dimensional effect. The drawing of the word “sick” is what led me into writing the poem, which reads:

SICK

see how it rises / the letters of the word duplicate / double / there’s more / abundance here / sunshine and shadows love and / grieve — being / more possibilities / sinking beyond space and time

End image description.

Voting should be accessible for all of us. 🙌 Passed in 1990 with strong bipartisan support, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities.

For 34 years, the #ADA has protected communities throughout the U.S. and works to ensure people with disabilities have a full and equal opportunity to vote in every election.

DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 7

Wednesday, July 17, 2024

“It’s a sighted, hearing classroom, in a sighted, hearing school, in a sighted, hearing society. They designed this environment for people who can see and hear. In this environment, I’m disabled. They place the burden on me to step out of my world and reach into theirs.” – Haben Girma, Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law

This is really good, actionable, constructive stuff for abled employers to think about, especially during Disability Pride Month.

== Disability Pride Month ==

Did you know July is Disability Pride Month? I know many of our crewmates are disabled and so I wanted to highlight this pride month in honor of them. Below is a wonderful video by ChronicallyJenni on instagram. I'm including the transcription of the video as well below. Found via the lovely @a-little-revolution here on tumblr.

"It's July & that means it's Disability Pride Month! But what actually is DPM?! I didn't know until a few years ago either so here's the run down!

Disability Pride Month was born out of the disability rights movement in July 1990 to commemorate the passing of the Americans with disabilities act (ADA). It has since become a global celebration, as well as an act of protest in order to campaign for the world to be more inclusive of disabled people. The first Disability Pride Parade in the UK was held in Brighton in 2016. Whilst we love our LGBTQIA+ friends & community members, #DisabilityPrideMonth has nothing to do with LGBTQIA+ Pride, they just happen to be next to each other.

The 3 main goals of Disability Pride Month are: ✨ To change the way people think about & define disability. ✨ To break down & end the internalised shame felt by people with disabilities. ✨ To promote the belief in society that disability is a natural, beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride.

All of these things are so incredibly important & change needs to be made in wider society in regards to ableism, accessibility & representation. Especially as being disabled is one of the only minority groups anyone can find themselves in overnight. Things are improving but I long for more disability representation in the media & in governance.

It's taken me a long time to discover my self worth as a person with a disability. And, don't get me wrong, being disabled is really tough But my disability has made me stronger, more resilient , more adaptable & has helped me find myself and the things that are important to me in a way I wouldn't have experienced otherwise. It's also helped me find the most incredible friends & community across the world.

I am disabled and I am proud." Happy Disability Pride Month Lovelies! I hope you have many many good days <3
