But screw it, been eyeballing a 24" bmx for a few years now, and the price was right.. stay tuned for more!

On a side note, i took some pictures today!! And this is what winning looks like... 😆😆😃

When art students see a fun wall. ♿️ Disability Awareness Month ♿️ I want you to see my wheelchair. I want you to see my disability. My disability does define me, and that’s okay. My disability does define me, and so do many other things. I love my wheelchair. I love my disability. I am proud to be disabled. Please respect this. Comments like “I don’t even see your disability” or “I didn’t notice your wheelchair” are not compliments. I 👏🏼 AM 👏🏼 DISABLED 👏🏼 AND 👏🏼 CUTE #disabledandcute #disBABEled #cripplepunk #disability #disabilityawarenessmonth 📸 @supreme_concept_ … [Image description: Ruby is sitting in her wheelchair front of a bright patterned blue, yellow, red and pink wall.

♿️ Disability Awareness Month ♿️ I am disabled. I am NOT differently-abled. I am NOT special. I am NOT handicapable. I am a disabled woman. I am NOT a person with a disability. So called ‘person first’ language aims to put the person first - before the disability or disorder. However, in doing so, we are separating the humanity from disability. Disability is, and always will be, a part of humanity, regardless of attempts to hide, eradicate or ‘fix’ it. Almost EVERYONE (yes, this means a lot of you!) has or will experience disability of some form at some point in their lives, whether from birth, acquired or through the natural process of ageing. So if this is such a normal and common thing, why is disability and accessibility left so far behind in our society? Why is the word ‘disabled’ so feared and often avoided? I know for a fact many of you know exactly why we avoid disability. You know the world is not set up to include and welcome disability, which is why to be associated with disability and being disabled is something to avoid. Why not do something about it? Why leave it for the next generation? Why avoid it unless you have no choice to be part of it? Why wait until your elderly parents have to deal with the flaws of the aged care system? Why wait until YOU do? Why wait until you know someone with a disability? Why do you need personal evidence that there is humanity in disability? That disabled people are real people? Able-bodied community, you have a lot to answer for. If you want to use person-first language, actually put the person first, and fucking listen to us!!! 🍊pyjama set from @modcloth and bra from @simonepereleofficiel #disabledandproud #disabilityawarenessmonth #cripplepunk #disabledandcute #disBABEled . . .

When it comes to learning and spreading awareness about disabilities, Katrina, the host of Living with Disabilities, makes sure she stays on her toes. October is filled with a lot of different disability awareness. Including learning disabilities.  The Learning Hub presented by Living with Disabilities: Disability in Learning

A thumbnail is an image featuring three sunflowers and a gold brush stroke. In the scene, an individual is pushing the title 'Living with Disabilities'. To the right, there is a person seated in a wheelchair. Below the title, the phrase reads, 'Let's push "Dis" aside and focus on Ability at Living with Disabilities'. Accompanying this is a small red bell icon with the word 'Subscribe' and the caption 'The Learning Hub presented by Living with Disabilities: Disability in Learning'.

March is #DisabilityAwarenessMonth ♿️

I've seen too many things in my town that are not disability-friendly.

There are people that just stand around on the sidewalk even though they see my wheelchair approaching. I can't tell you how many times I've had to go out into the street to get around these idiots.

All too often the handicapped access ramp is blocked.

Able-bodied people park their cars in the handicapped spots because they're "just going in for a minute".

My town is notorious for putting posts in the middle of sidewalks. Getting around those is very tricky.

I could go on and on but I think you get the picture.

And please remember that not all disabilities are visible.
