✅ Disability is not inability.
✅ Accessibility is a right.
✅ Ableism is trash.

#Repost @SociabilityApp: "So many disabled people will feel like a burden at some point in their lives. Whether that’s within a relationship, friendship or just being out and about in the world asking for your access needs to be met!

The thing is everyone has access needs whether you’re disabled or not but the majority of non-disabled people’s access needs get met automatically.

Would we feel like burdens if access was a given? If we knew that of course there would be step-free access and of course, there would be an accessible toilet (that’s not used as a storage cupboard!)?

Would we feel like burdens if we had a decent social care system that supports disabled people long term? Supporting them to live independently and with dignity. If we had equal rights and access to the world?

Disabled people are not a burden, disability is not a burden, challenging at times yes 😂 but that doesn’t make us burdens.

Inaccessibility and outdated attitudes towards disability are the real burdens."

#Repost @KaranNNagrani: "🧑🏻‍🦯 Me‼️ If walking into things was an Olympic sport…🏆🥇🎖️🏅🏆 #Fact

Yes I have a cane, Yes I’ve undergone mobility training, yes I try and be careful… BUT I still walk into things allllllllllllllll the time. Even at home where I know where everything is I walk into things and sometimes I walk into things like mannequins, plants, chairs, floor signs and even say sorry!

Story of my life really 😂"
