A drawing of Alexis looking in the mirror with a disability pride flag behind them. It reads “Disability Pride doesn’t mean I am proud to be disabled, but I am disabled and I am proud of me.”
Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth ! It’s okay if you aren’t proud about your #disability and it’s okay to have a complicated relationship with your disability (because lord knows I do). While I’m not often proud of my disability, I am disabled and I am proud of myself. #fibromyalgia #adhd #chronicillness
Please share! For Disability Pride Month, we are seeking neurodivergent academic faculty, instructors, & researchers at all levels to participate in a brief anonymous survey about their work experiences, coping strategies, & well-being. For info, go to: salisbury.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Weekend read: Body Friend by Katherine Brabon. 10/10 would recommend especially if you are trying to understand the experience of a loved one with #chronicillness and #chronicpain or are chronically ill yourself and want a relatable book. #booksky #disability
