“Why does that person need a mobility scooter, I’ve seen people who are worse and they soldier on”
“Why did they use a wheelchair at the airport & then walk onto the plane?”
“Why do they have a disability placard they look fine!”
The answer to all is it’s none of your business.

Did you know that disabled people are far more likely to experience domestic abuse or be trapped in violent relationships?
There’s an imbalance of power when you’re depending on others for activities of daily living.
Disability also keeps you below the poverty line.

I know, but like, decades working in sustainability has definitely taught me it's okay & even necessary to get people to do the right things for the wrong reasons.
I don't mean this in an "I told you so" way, but it was very obvious to me that the Mamdani/Trump meeting would go the way it did, because Mamdani is ascendant, popular, powerful and charismatic, all things that Trump wants to glom on to. Trump has no principles; it's not like he has converted.

Totally agree 💯
I break with many critics of #adoption because i advocate for more than the end of secrecy. We are told that adoption provides a child with stability, but we are never told why the change of legal kinship status must be irrevocable. I believe adult adoptees should be able to annul their adoptions.
