I am so moved by this thread – to me it really encompasses why #Repealthe8th was so important (also Michelle has my utmost respect for the polite, rational way she shuts down all the “so you would rather not exist?!?!?!?” folks)
are you ever just switchin back and forth between your social media but everything is dead so you get really desperate like maybe i have a new email, maybe there’s a new island on poptropica, maybe i have a myspace notification
Disabled people do not have to “prove” they’re disabled and never should be expected too. Yes, they may still be able to go out, have fun, and even seem “normal” somedays but you can’t see how they feel. You don’t know what they’re going through or their pain. Don’t discount someone’s disability simply because they’re living their lives.
