The truth about straws

If your environmental stance hinges on straws, you’re aiming way too low. Single-use plastic is a massive systemic problem. Corporations, overproduction, packaging waste, that’s where the real impact is. Not disabled people trying to drink safely. Bendy plastic straws were literally designed

Replying to @DisabledJourneys @naturelover756 When the biopsy is unclear the safest route is often removing half the thyroid for further testing and going back for the rest if needed @Jessi Draper went through a similar process with her thyroid #thyroidsurgery #cancerjourney #thyroidcancer

Replying to @Julia Why not use reusable straws for surgery recovery? Straws are an accessibility issue. #accessibility #thyroidsurgery #straws #disability #chronicillness

Got this neck ice pack for surgery prep and honestly… this is the kind of thing that makes a huge difference. Recovery is going to be rough, and having little things like this to manage pain and swelling means more than people probably realize 💕 #cancersucks #cancerjourney #thyroidcancer

Didn’t expect “loofah on a stick” to become essential surgery prep… but here we are 😂 Preparing for surgery with chronic illness means figuring out all the little things most people don’t think about — like how you’re going to shower without overexerting. Honestly, this might be one of the mo

Surgery rescheduled

My surgery, which was originally scheduled for today, has been rescheduled to April 9 after I got the flu. I’m preparing for thyroid surgery related to a possible cancer diagnosis, alongside managing multiple chronic health conditions. It’s been a lot to navigate. I’m incredibly grateful for

It might be cancer…

There’s up to a 40% chance I have cancer, and the only way to know for sure is surgery. At the end of March, doctors will remove half my thyroid to get answers. Since I’m disabled and unable to work, unexpected medical and recovery expenses can be especially difficult to manage. Many people have

Oh but the Disney disability access shareholder proposal will never win it’s a waste of time. That’s not true. Winning was never the point because it’s impossible. But it doesn’t need to win to make a difference and get this issue in front of leaders at Disney, their board, and their biggest most

On Christmas Eve, a doctor told me there’s up to a 40% chance I have thyroid cancer. Since then it’s been months of testing, specialist appointments, and trying to figure out what’s going on. Surgery is scheduled for later this month, and the removed tissue will be tested to determine whether it

Vote for Disney Shareholder Proposal 7

Disability is not a niche issue. It represents $13+ trillion in global disposable income. In the U.S. alone, disabled travelers and their families account for tens of billions in annual travel spending. For Disney, accessibility is: • A revenue issue • A reputation issue • A risk issue

Disney is asking disabled people to put them selves in harms why by going through the line to meet up with someone holding their place, this will inevitably perceived as line cutting and anger other guests even though it’s Disney’s policy. This is dangerous and irresponsible #disneyland #happ
