the brain is still whirring with the echo of “but how does disability work? how do assistive things work? how would i know all that?”

broskis. reach out. meet us halfway.

reach out and look for assistive technology in text to speech and speech to text, for large print and DAISY books, for 3D printed signature guide cards

broskis i beg you to look up disability activism history, personal narratives and resources, web accessibility podcasts even

broskis find art, kinship, sex and queerness, religion, drinks, intimacy, fandom, belonging

broskis we need each other. keep looking and i will keep looking for you. let’s meet halfway

someone in our life just got a word from their therapist that they might have adhd, so either my partner or i just kinda went “oh cool, congrats”

and they went “i don’t think people get congratulated on getting a diagnosis”

and my partner and i just looked at each other. like. i brought them flowers and their favourite treat when they got their adhd diagnosis on paper. and they were so excited for my new crutches to arrive that we unpacked them and went on a test walk together.

so no. if you would like to get congratulated on a diagnosis, mobility aid, or other disability things: congratulations! so happy for you!
