“Cosplay is for EVERYONE.” ✨👩‍🦽✨
Misa is a cosplayer and disability advocate based in New England.
The person using a mobility aid at the grocery store did not go to said store with the purpose of hoping to be asked about their disability, mobility aid, or be told how inspirational they are.

They went to the store with the purpose of buying ingredients for tacos and a case of seltzer water.

Too many accessibility features are inaccessible to those who need them due to their price tag.

Accessible designs that allow more people to function and thrive should be the standard.

The cost of living for disabled individuals is often exponentially higher than that of their temporarily-abled peers.

Yet, disabled people are given significantly less means of financially supporting themselves and their needs.

It is a special kind of messed up that many people with disabilities who work often lose the ability to do so because having a job means losing the benefits, such as personal care and disability medical coverage, that allow them to work in the first place.

Suddenly becoming physically disabled should not mean suddenly becoming unable to visit your friends and family anymore.

The term “visitability” refers to building homes in a way that allows those with mobility issues to be able to visit as easily as anyone else.

This accessibility design is cost-effective when built-in from the start and reduces social isolation related to being unable to visit family and friends.

There are forever homes.

And then there are “live here until I am inevitably unable to use stairs anymore” homes.

Building new homes with accessibility in mind means building actual forever homes.

New Year’s resolution ideas that help the disabled community:

✨Read a book about disability history.

✨Stop using outdated or ableist language.

✨Learn more about the current challenges the disabled community faces.

✨Advocate for better accessibility and disabled rights.

The most significant barrier to accessibility is not the cost.

It is the lingering stigma surrounding disability, ableism towards disabled individuals, and the uninformed belief that “it could never happen to me.”

Disabled people generally have less usable hours than their non-disabled peers, so let’s please stop wasting their time with things like:

Needing to find someone with a key to use a lift.

Having to wait extra long for accessible transportation.

Needing to prove their disability every year.

We need to stop perpetuating the myth that accessibility is always more expensive.

Accessibility often does not cost any more when it is built in from the start.

Inaccessibility is not sustainable.

“Just stay home if you are afraid of getting sick,” is not sound advice when many of the ways that allowed people to do so (remote work, telehealth appointment options, etc.) have been needlessly removed over the last couple of years.

Wearing a mask should never be politicized.

Public health should never be politicized.

Safety should never be politicized.

Call me old-fashioned, but the uptick of preventable illnesses seems a much more pressing issue than the existence of neurodivergence.

Diversity is awesome. Measles is not.

What may provide increased accessibility for some may decrease accessibility for others.

One of the main problems with non-disabled actors portraying disabled characters is that they are often basing that portrayal on preconceived stereotypes and reducing the complexity of the disabled experience to a caricature.

Internalized ableism not only leads to negative feelings about oneself but can also result in one not seeking support that would greatly improve their life.

Please remember to fold up baby changing tables in accessible bathroom stalls.
