Obsessed with this rollator for many reasons but a huge one is that it enhances literally every outfit

To celebrate the first day of Disability Pride month, disabled 🍉mom Nara’s fuhnd-raizer pool themed dance party is tomorrow (Monday!) July 1 from 7-9pm CDT!

This time our zoom support Access Doula @invalid_input404 has also planned some fun optional interactive activities like trivia and art-making, so bring some mark making tools and a surface to mark (i.e. gel pens and paper) to make some art for Nara and her family!
$0+ up sliding scale tickets! Ticket sales all go to Nara, since we are all volunteers!

If you have to miss the dance party, you can still bid on the auction until July 5 at 9pm CDT and I will also be joining @drdemonprince livestream on Twitch, this Friday July 5th from 1-4 pm CDT to talk about the auction items before Nara’s auction closes in a little home shopping network moment!
You can also keep dough-nating to the link even after the event and auction ends! givebutter.com/naraparty
Comment a cute message to Nara and her kiddos!
This graphic pictured is a draft of a screen print design I will be selling after the auction ends on the @rebirthgarments website to continue to support my amazing friend, 33 year old disabled mom Nara and her family!

Y'all, mega shout out to anyone else who's utterly exhausted of having to play ✨medical detective✨
Obv I'm grateful to have access to medical care in the first place, but I wish I could take a lil holiday from the brain-labour of it all y'know?
The late nights reading research papers to pull together theories, digging through groups for doctor recs, articulating to specialists with outdated knowledge, figuring out connections between all the different conditions, strategizing around medical fatphobia, transphobia, and ableism, and generally trying to problem-solve in the face of ever-declining cognitive capacity.
