Nothing ever happens (ableism edition)

I'm pink

Ableist is red

Subreddit is white

I'm not sure if the username censoring rule applies to myself but just in case I did so anyways.

I'm just so taken aback by the audacity of someone to make the claim that I would lie about a disability and to be honest so insulted that some loser talking out of their ass is attempting to diminish my achievement. I just cannot comprehend the nerve of some people.

When I was a kid, if you broke your back or had a heart attack, you died. As an adult, I realize I was only exposed to the stories where those people died, and there’s a wide range of outcomes for both of those events.

Great work rescuing that beautiful animal! 🦫 Don’t let that hater get you down :)

So interesting fact I learned after my injury. The leading cause of death for spinal cord injuries used to be kidney failure until the invention of catheters.

Yeah of course!

I'm always happy to hear that someone is interested in learning more about people with disabilities and the history of our lives.
