adding on SERVICE ANIMALS! Insurance does not cover them. A few orgs provide them for free, yes, but 1) you have to live in the area they service 2) you still have to pay for travel to and from graduation, and for the upkeep of the dog 3) you have to hope one of these orgs trains the kind of dog you need 4) you have to wait years until you're matched, bc these free programs are the most popular. Money would help immensely.
money is such an underrated accessibility option.
like people want to think any disabled person who is after money is morally suspect some way, because they're not asking for "treatments" or "accommodations" like a lot of our issues can be fixed way more easily with money. can't drive? paying for a taxi is often one of the more accessible alternatives. can't cook? you can pay more to have prepared food delivered to you. food restrictions? that food straight up costs more money. can't clean? you can pay for someone to do that. house inaccessible? having (lots) of money can help with that, you get the gist.
having money won't make us abled. it also won't stop our symptoms from being distressing, painful, or debilitating. but there's a huge gap in experience between the average poor disabled person and someone who's actually wealthy. you can buy your way out of some of the difficult situations most disabled people are left to rot in. wanting money, needing money, asking for money is pretty natural when it's such a useful tool. why get so weird about disabled people wanting money like i'm pretty sure everyone wants money anyway
"The hour of the blood moon" - a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild-themed ATC I painted back in 2021. With "Tears of the Kingdom" on the horizon, I'm looking back at this amazing game and realize that I honestly need to paint more LoZ landscapes.

Someone in an autism facebook group I'm in just asked "How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?"
Someone replied: "You're not. Even neurotypicals can't right now in the system designed for them. We're the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong."

A sable German Shepherd is guiding OP along a smooth section of pavement in the middle of a cobblestone walkway. The dog is outfitted with a black leather harness and cape with teal and grass green patches & accessories. There is indistinct chatter in the background.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
