I'm thinking about making a YouTube channel to talk about my disabilities and advocating for physical health, but I'm worried I won't be any good at making videos 😅 I'm still a bit awkward on camera and I don't think I'd have energy to post as often as I'd like, but do you guys think it's still worth it to try? I want to build a community that's been through similar experiences, and I want to raise awareness for my disabilities.

This was really difficult to record. I know I’ll get a ton of hate for this, but it was a necessary step in healing. Your likes and supportive comments on the video would be much appreciated. 🩷💙💚🧡

Disability and Danger: Inaccessibility in the Weather Industry

I know I shared this already (possibly twice) but this is the best thing I've created in a year and I really wanna show it to people.

Hi everybody in honour of Disability Pride Month I ’ve posted a new video showcasing some of my 1:6 scale dolls with disabilities. Please check it out. It would mean a lot to me. Image Description: a screenshot of a YouTube video featuring a photo of a selection of dolls from Mattel. All but one are Barbie’s left to right: a doll wearing pink hearing aids who is sitting down. There is a Barbie doll who has Down syndrome standing next to her alongside a doll of Dahlia of Rosas from Disney’s Wish who is holding a crutch. There is a Club Chelsea doll sitting in a wheelchair in the centre, there is a Barbie who has a prosthetic leg standing next to Chelsea. The text reads BC’s Doll Place: Disability Pride Month 2024!

VIDEO: okay, let's talk about disability, pleasure, and empowerment... [image description: Video thumbnail. Colorful background with a mustard yellow. On top of that are a variety of colorful collages based on the wheelchair symbol. On top of that and in the center of the graphic is a horizontal black rectangle. Towards the left of the rectangle is a photo of myself. I am wearing a red t-shirt, a pink sequins bow in front of a medium sized red rose flower crown on my head. I am wearing circular fancy looking rhinestone sunglasses and I am somewhat grinning somewhat blushing. To the right of the photo is the following text disability and.. and below that it reads pleasure and empowerment]

Hey, y'all!

I am still dealing with this harassment. And the trauma never ends. I feel like I’ve lost all hope for the future. This is going to kill me and unfortunately, many people think it’s deserved. I’ve never had a mean bone in my body. I’ve done nothing to any of these people except give them a platform which they used to take advantage of me.

I have been wanting to share my story, because the burden of silence has been slowly killing me. I practiced by posting this with zero hashtags. Now Im having 5 minutes of courage and will try this again. If you know of any way you can help me, please let me know. I lost so many YouTube subs and followers because of them. Do not harass anyone in here, and do not harass me. I'm keeping a file of every hateful message I get.

I got screwed over by my cohosts that I brought on. They abandoned me over my “distracting” health condition, implying that Showtime would feel the same way. I brought on a new co-host and she lied and backstabbed me the moment she felt like she might get more personal gain from the other podcast. She set me up, knowing how bad my mental health was from this.

This is most of the story, told via evidence.

"For [Tanner] Green, the chief engineer at Not a Wheelchair, this is one of the thousand complications standing between his team and a rather lofty goal: upending the manual wheelchair marketplace.

If you’ve heard of Not a Wheelchair, it’s likely because of its owners, Zack Nelson, the star of the 8.8-million-subscriber YouTube channel JerryRigEverything, and his wife Cambry, a para and manual wheelchair user. The Nelsons got into the mobility equipment business a few years ago when they released The Rig, an electric, adaptive off-road device with a simple yet robust and functional design priced significantly lower than anything else on the market. Now, they’re bringing that same ethos to manual wheelchairs.

Not a Wheelchair aims to offer a base-model, custom manual wheelchair at a similar or better quality than most of the insurance-approved wheelchairs in the U.S. for $999.

Yes, that’s just under $1,000 for everything — wheels, handrims, tires, side guards and rigid, angle-adjustable backrest included. And the company plans to have a turnaround time of weeks, rather than the monthslong slog that it typically takes from order to delivery.

When I first heard about this, it sounded awesome and a bit far-fetched. It’s hard to find a pair of quality wheelchair wheels for less than $500. Same with a rigid backrest. How were they going to offer both, plus a custom wheelchair frame without compromising on quality? I drove to their headquarters in Utah to find out...

So how does Not a Wheelchair’s base model chair stack up to other options on the market? I hate to sound like a preacher, but … it’s totally reasonable! It hits the mark of being at least as good, if not better, than the majority of insurance-approved wheelchairs in the U.S.

Touring the factory, I saw other prototypes scattered all around the facility. There’s a beefier, four-wheel drive version of The Rig that the company just launched. There’s a track wheelchair that’s still in development. It’s clear that Not a Wheelchair doesn’t intend to stop at a simple, manual wheelchair. Inexpensive components, more advanced electric off-road devices, power assist, it’s all on the table. “We’re just really excited to see where this leads,” says Green."
