Hair dye funny. Mention of scooter? Ableist & not so funny.

I've created many that went viral including #AbleismExists

This is an example of one of the old tweets that I made that went viral. The hashtag was used by many disabled people to explain many instances of ableism they've experienced and educate people.

The hashtag #AbleismExists is still being used across social media to record instances of ableism!

Sitting on the ground floor of a bldg @ work b/c there isn't a lift. Ppl just walking past. Inaccessible university buildings are completely unacceptable. I refuse to harm myself for the institution. I just want to do my job. #SpoonieLife #ableismexists #dobetter @MonashUni

Particular fan of being asked if I'm going somewhere on holiday - nope; just can't carry stuff & need rolling bags. *Silence* #ableismexists

Privately told seminarleader I was having bad #chroniclife day, unable to present as planned; they announced to whole room #ableismexists

Being interrogated on the bus for sitting in disabled seats - "but you're young. where's your cane? you don't look disabled" #ableismexists
