Just acquired a disability pride flag for my room! (cc @sarajw)
Wrinkled disability pride flag hanging vertically with the red stripe on the left and two gromets on the top corners on a lightly saturated sea foam green wall with a lamp encroaching slightly on the bottom right. Window trim slightly visible on the right hand edge of the frame, not covering the flag.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALISTS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT- BECAUSE I WAS NOT A SOCIALIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT- BECAUSE I WAS NOT A TRADE UNIONIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT- BECAUSE I WAS NOT A JEW. THEN THEY CAME FOR ME- AND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME.
