try-punching-it: feministingforchange: feministingforchange: feministingforchange: It’s time to make the INvisible VISIBLE by proudly and publicly talking about our experiences as invisibly disabled people. Despite popular belief and community infrastructures,  #InvisiblyDisabledPplExist. This ignorance and reduced community recognition and assistance can cause us lots of unnecessary difficulty, pain, and even death.  This means it’s time to start a movement to end the ignorance about what it “means” to be disabled. Please use the hashtag #InvisiblyDisabledPplExist to not only make signs over disabled seating and other areas, as mentioned in tweet 4 above.  We must also talk about our many many stories of being invisibly disabled in a world where the public doesn’t recognize our existence (like mine). Please Tweet & Boost!!! The first of many post-its, for suuuuure!  Pls boost, post, take pics, and tweet your own disability awareness post-its!  Change starts with us This is a nice effort for a good cause and all, but you’re also blocking information from people who can’t use their legs. Ah I think I see what you mean, thanks for the constructive criticism. I think I actually did block info in the first photo and that’s not good, whoops - I’ll try not to do that in future. But I have to say, blocking bus #s is harmful to us all, not just ppl who cannot use their legs. Also, I initially covered the bus #s for the picture so that I didn’t give away too much about where I lived, but then I forgot to move it off of the info so it’s not blocking it. The second image isn’t actually covering anything meaningful though - that I can recall anyway. Regardless, this is a useful and good reminder for me & others in future. Thanks! -- source link
