A tan and brown two-headed cow stands on a quiet street. One head wears sunglasses that don’t have arms, so we really don’t know how they stay on. The other wears a pink and purple flower crown around their ears. Their front hoof is raised and is wearing a protective mit of some sort. The curb in front of them is halfway destroyed, and there’s a growing pile of rubble in front of it. The head with sunglasses has a thought bubble over it that reads “Even when things are discouraging, we stay true to our name and BUILD. THE. CURB. CUTS.” The flower crown head has a thought bubble over it that reads “I’ve got my boxing hoof on! Lemme at it!” A black Including Disability logo, a stylized I and D combined, sits in the bottom left corner of the picture.

It’s easy to get discouraged. But the curb cuts are a must—and we’ve got our boxing hoof on.

Origin story: curb cuts

Today, lots of people benefit from curb cuts, those small ramps at the edge of sidewalks. But curb cuts weren't even a thing until disability rights advocates demanded them.

Gratitude works! An hour later, and I got especially grateful for the chubby schoolmate who showed me a secret fuck room on campus. Gratitude to the workers who built that room, to the advocates who insisted on it, to #curbcuts, Ed Roberts and the disability activists who continue fighting for them
