Fahada

It's the last day of Disability Pride Month, and the anniversary of the ADA has also happened this month.

There's a lot I could/can talk about.

•About how I've been dynamically disabled for several years, and am even more disabled now that I've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder.
•About how being disabled is a minority that anyone can suddenly become a part of, at any time.
•About how disabilities don't define a person, but they ARE a part of who they are.
•About how disabled people still don't have the same rights that most people in this country have. (We can't get married without losing insurance/benefits that help keep us alive, for example.)
•About how that one bill (OBBBA) that passed on the 4th WILL kill people. However, the majority of the cuts to Medicaid that will affect people won't take effect until the end of 2026 or 2027, after the next set of elections.

I'll be honest, there are many people who are far more educated than I am in discussing the majority of those points (and I've been sharing them in my stories)...and I will talk about some of it in the future.

These two quotes, one from RuPaul and another from Dan Savage, have been ones I've sent to many people recently, so I wanted to share them with you all to see if they resonate with you as well 💛
