I would add one more. MSA which stands for Multiple Systems Atrophy. It is similar to Parkinson’s in the early stages. There’s no test other than the Parkinson’s meds don’t work. It’s worse and most people don’t understand what it is.

Disability is the only minority group anyone can become a member of at any time. In fact, if you’re lucky enough to grow old, you will experience some degree of disability.
Let’s make sure disability rights matter to everyone — now.

I can't stop thinking of this-everybody in this motherfucking country is related to or knows someone who has a disability. This should have been the end of his career, but it was just the beginning.
Too bad he didn't trip on that escalator and break his motherfucking neck.

A hard discipline to adhere to these days. Especially in North America.
We are not for Names, nor Men, nor Titles of Government, nor are we for this Party, nor against the other, because of its Name and Pretense; but we are for Justice and Mercy, and Truth and Peace, and true Freedom, that these may be exalted in our Nation.

Color contrast affects readability on the web and in print. It is especially important for users who are low vision or for users who are colorblind. Good color contrast means all users can see your content no matter the device they’re using or the lighting of their surroundings.

If I can’t show up as myself in a spiritual space...
with my body, my pacing, my silence, my stims, my grief, my weirdness...
then what’s the point?

It’s just another place I disappear.
