I thought being in pain and discomfort was just part of being disabled.

The bans threaten disabled people and protesters alike.

Becoming a nonspeaking person changed my relationship with time and with other people.

I landed in the hospital during the recent COVID surge.

"When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving."

The Passy Muir*®* Valve was designed to help people with tracheostomies, like me.

The rollback of emergency public health measures enacted during the pandemic will make things worse.

After an unexpected hospitalization, I leaned on my community more than ever.

You are enough.

The pandemic exposed a harsh truth: some people are viewed as disposable and less worthy of care.

There's a major vote on H.R. 620 tomorrow.

"Inclusion doesn’t mean sh*t unless we’re being paid, respected, and taken seriously."
