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.

Katrina, the host of "Living with Disabilities," discussed "the purpose of the handicap sign, and why it's important for people who are not disabled to park there."

If you are tuning in to listen to the Living with Disabilities podcast, Katrina has taken a friend of her advice and thanks those who have made a big

impact in her life.

Don't forget to follow Living with Disabilities on both IG and Facebook @livingwithdisabilities

If you are listening to Living with Disabilities on Spotify for podcaster, the host would love to hear your feedback on this topic.

💕💕💕 I literally have a lifelong disability because one time I got food poisoning. Y’all. There is no way I can explain to y’all how easy it is to become disabled… even if you’ve always been “healthy”. People who have always been “healthy” will never grasp how quickly and easily you can become disabled. •

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

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.

Make sure that you are registered to vote today at weall.vote/register. #DisabilityPrideMonth

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