Wow. I got blocked for pointing out that a disabled person does not exist to be your inspiration and possibly didn't give their consent to being used as inspiration porn. No engagement. Just blocked. Which actually reinforces my point.

photo of myself caught a bit by surprise. my eyes are closed and I am laughing though I'm wearing a white n95 covid mask + a face shield, so you can't exactly tell lol. outfit is very funky, artsy, colorful. you can see a hint of box (used as a tripod for my camera) which has the text fight fascism and not in my name on it
I am usually behind the camera, so there aren't many photos of me, until another photographer that I know comes along and takes one.
I was very colorful at the NYC #Disability Pride parade. Be the art (if that's what sparks joy for ya) <3

#NotYourInspiration
Politicians say disabled people are “desperate to work.” But if we’re not careful, that edge will give way—and it will be disabled people who fall. Support shouldn’t feel like a shove

Some of us don’t become inspirational, some of us don’t have a proper representation.
We still here. We still need to be seen and supported.

Not as vomit Inducing as this fucking children in need crap my kid is forcing me to watch (when’s bedtime?). The bullshit inspirational messages using disabled children to make able bodied people feel good about themselves and their good health so they pay up is so inappropriate #notyourinspiration
