Notes from someone who became disabled about a year ago (nerve damage in hands due to work place incident)
-People now think I’m irrationally angry at my keys because to them dropping your keys is no biggie, but to me it’s the millionth time that day I’ve told my hands to hold something and my hands replied “nah dog I’m good”
-You can become disabled at anytime which is why accessibly and disability rights is important for everyone
-I’ve learned a million new ways to do thing and honestly feel very creative every time I repurposed my elbow as a hand
-If I can’t do something, it’s not cause I need motivation or encouragement… I physically cannot do it
-Alternatively, if I say I can do something… don’t do it for me? I can do it. Like I said.
-So many things I used to take for granted are now necessary accessibility aids for me/make my life so much easier
