Image description: a disability-related meme image with an orange, green, and purple Halloween theme. At the top, bold black text with a lime green background reads:

“Ways to be Inclusive of Disabled Trick-or-Treaters this Halloween:”

Underneath this, black text appears on an orange background and reads:

“If you have stairs, greet trick-or-treaters at the foot of the steps instead of at the door.

Compliment their costume, not their mobility aid (unless it is very obviously part of the costume).

Do not assume rudeness if a trick-or-treater says nothing to you.

Have non-candy treats available (like stickers, toys, etc.) for those with dietary restrictions.

Remember that trick-or-treating is all about fun, regardless of age, costume, or disability.”

Prior to each point, to the left, is a colorful outline of a bat, either lime green or purple. Between the title text and lower text, the handle “@MisaOnWheels” appears in smaller yellow text.

As a disabled person, I have met disability advocates, those who share knowledge with others, accessibility advocates, those who raise awareness, and those who share their lives to make others with disabilities feel less alone.  I have not, however, ever met a single “sickfluencer.”

Something that astounds me is the level of accusation related to being disabled. Disabled people are accused of faking their disabilities. Disabled people are accused of not filling out paperwork properly. Disabled people are accused of being a problem when the real problem is ableism.

Image description: an accessibility-related infographic with a lined note paper background. There are five lines/points related to accessibility. From the top:

The first line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of pink. Pink text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible once you get up the stairs” is not accessible.”

The second line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of green. Green text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible if you have someone to help you” is not accessible.”

The third line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of orange. Orange text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible if you can leave your mobility aid behind” is not accessible.”

The fourth line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of blue. Blue text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible, but you can’t access the restroom” is not accessible.”

The fifth line contains a minimalist image of a manual wheelchair user with different shades of purple. Purple text to the right of them reads, ““It’s accessible just because we call it accessible” is not accessible.”

Centered at the bottom of the image is the handle “@MisaOnWheels” in light pink text.

No, ONLY the houses of disabled people being accessible is not enough. ALL new homes should be built to allow anyone to be able to visit family, friends, loved ones, and be able to move without having to worry about expensive renovations and aspects non-disabled people do not need to worry about.

A 32-hour work week would make the workplace more accessible to many disabled people and allow full-time employment for those unable to work a full 40 hours. A shorter work week would also allow for increased flexibility for appointments, symptom management, and self-care without missing time.

No Bow, No How. Say NO to a data center in Bow, NH. 💚
A digital poster with a green background. Large, bold black text at the top reads, “NO BOW, NO HOW.” Smaller black text towards the bottom reads, “Say NO to a data center in Bow, NH.”
Between these two sets of text are two images. On the right, there is a picture of an industrial-looking building with pollution fumes coming out of its chimneys. On top of the image as a red circle with a line through it, denoting, “no.“  To the left of this image is a cartoon picture of mountains with a green checkmark on them, denoting, “yes.“ appearing on the right hand side vertically is the handle “@MisaOnWheels” in green.

Massive data centers do not only have a negative impact on the environment but also on the well-being of disabled people. 👨🏻‍🦼
An educational image with a light gray background. At the top, lime green text reads, “How Data Centers Negatively Impact Disabled People,” with a dark gray banner in the background of this text. Below this, smaller black text reads:

“Pollutants released by massive data center generators are major triggers for severe respiratory symptoms in those with and without respiratory disabilities.

Constant noise and light pollution trigger symptoms in those with sensory disabilities and sensitivities.

When the massive water consumption impacts local water supply, disabled people lose access to water in their homes.

Many disabled people do not have the resources or ability to "just move" if a data center in built nearby.”

To the right of the text is a minimalist image of a power wheelchair user with blonde hair, a green shirt, and blue pants with black shoes. They are sitting in a red power wheelchair facing the text. Behind them is a semi-transparent image depicting a minimalist cartoon-style factory with fumes coming out of its chimneys. 

The handle “@MisaOnWheels” appears in gray vertically on the right side of the image.

Inaccessibility is outdated. Seeing inaccessibility still incorporated into modern building design not only reflects outdated attitudes towards the disabled community but reminds disabled people that, at the end of the day, these design choices that keep us separate are intentional.

Most newly disabled people do not come home to a house that meets their needs. In fact, inaccessibility can even cause such people to not be able to go home at all. Our ability to use our own homes, or even enter them, can change in an instant. Let’s start building with accessibility in mind.

I will never forget the wildest example of inaccessibility I have encountered as a wheelchair user: Many years ago now, I was attending the funeral of a family member. The funeral home was doing maintenance on their ramp, and the only way for me to enter the building was via the coffin lift. 💀

Happy Disability Pride Month from Jimothy! 💚🦝💚
A colorful digital illustration celebrating Disability Pride Month. The background is divided into a blue sky and green grass, with a large tree on the left side and a gray metal trash can on the right. In the center sits a desktop computer setup on a light green overturned trash can, including a monitor, keyboard, and computer mouse. The monitor displays diagonal stripes inspired by the Disability Pride flag in muted shades of red, yellow, white, blue, and green.

In the foreground on the left is Jimothy, positioned as if he is using the computer. 

Large black text across the bottom half of the image reads: “Happy Disability Pride Month!” followed by “From: Jimothy.” Along the right edge of the image is the handle “@MisaOnWheels” written vertically in light green text.

A vibrant, stylized illustration that promotes Disability Pride with a powerful message of year-round celebration. The central figure is a confident woman with red hair, seated in a wheelchair. She is depicted in a dynamic, celebratory pose, with one leg kicked high in the air and her arm raised, conveying energy and self-assurance. She wears a purple top and distinctive red leggings adorned with a white leaf-like pattern.

The woman is positioned within a large, bright yellow star, which serves as a focal point and symbol of prominence and positivity. Behind the star, a background of diagonal stripes in rainbow colors (green, light blue, white, yellow, and pink) evokes the spirit of pride and inclusivity. The text, rendered in a bold, clean white font with a black outline, reads "Disability Pride is not limited to July."

The handle, "@MisaOnWheels," runs vertically along the right edge of the image.

A pastel-colored infographic about disability etiquette when interacting with wheelchair users. The background is light green with a lavender border. At the top, an orange cat peeks over a rounded rectangle containing the title, and an illustration of a smiling person with light-colored hair sitting in a manual wheelchair appears on the right. The person is wearing a pink off-the-shoulder shirt and light blue pants and is gesturing with one hand.

The title reads:

“Proper Etiquette for Talking to Wheelchair Users”

Below the title are three pink rounded text boxes containing the following guidance:

“Speak directly to the person using the wheelchair, not the person they are with, and listen to understand.”

“Do not start a conversation by asking about the person’s disability or personal medical information.”

“Do not assume the person needs help, and do not touch their mobility aid without permission.”

At the bottom of the image is the text:

A square graphic with a light lavender background features a large, bright red heart centered on the page. In front of the heart is a stylized illustration of a newlywed couple. One partner is seated in a manual wheelchair wearing a light brown tuxedo with a black bow tie, while the other wears a flowing white wedding dress and veil and raises one hand in a celebratory wave. Their faces are intentionally left without facial features in a minimalist illustration style.

At the top of the image, bold dark gray text reads: “The ADA was passed in 1990,"

At the bottom, matching bold text continues: “and disabled people still do not have marriage equality."

Along the right edge, the creator's handle @MisaOnWheels appears vertically in purple text.

An infographic with a bright purple background and a large white rounded rectangle centered on the page. At the bottom left of the purple background is the creator's handle, @MisaOnWheels, in white text.

At the top of the white panel is a bold headline in large dark gray letters:

“Disability Pride Month in July is Different than Pride Month in June."

Below the title are two flags displayed side by side.

Left: The Disability Pride Flag, featuring a charcoal gray background with five diagonal stripes running from the upper left to the lower right. The stripes are green, light blue, white, yellow, and muted pink. Beneath it is the label: “Disability Pride Flag."

Right: The LGBTQ+ Pride Flag (Progress Pride Flag), displaying the traditional horizontal rainbow stripes with a chevron on the left made up of black, brown, light blue, pink, and white stripes. Beneath it is the label: “LGBTQ+ Pride Flag."

The lower half of the infographic contains four short paragraphs in bold dark gray text:

"July is Disability Pride Month, commemorating the passage of the ADA in 1990 and celebrates the disabled community."

“June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community."

"There is some confusion simply because both months include the word 'pride' and have a flag with multiple colors."

"While intersectionality can exist between these two communities, Pride Month in June and Disability Pride Month in July are different."

Disability Pride Flag Redesign Explained 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚
A digital graphic with a solid light blue background. Overlaid on this background is a large, off-white rectangular panel with rounded corners, centered. 

At the very top of the white panel, the title "Disability Pride Flag Redesign Explained" is displayed in large, bold, dark grey sans-serif font. Below the title, two rectangular flag images are presented side-by-side. The image on the left shows the "Original" flag, which has a black background with five thin, brightly colored zigzag stripes running horizontally across it. From top to bottom, these zigzag stripes are white, blue, yellow, red, and green. The zigzags are sharp and create a high-contrast pattern.

To the right of the original flag, the "Redesigned" flag is shown. This flag also has a dark grey background and features five thin, solid, diagonal stripes running from the top left towards the bottom right. The stripes are slightly muted in color compared to the original, and from top to bottom, they are light pink, light yellow, light blue, light green, and white. The diagonal lines are straight and offer a lower contrast against the dark grey background.

Below the two flag images, the text "Original" and "Redesigned" are displayed in bold, dark grey font directly underneath their respective flags. Further down, several sentences of explanatory text are presented in the same bold, dark grey sans-serif font. The first sentence states, "The original flag, on the left, was created by Ann Magill in 2019." The second sentence explains, "The zigzags were meant to signify the many barriers disabled people must maneuver." The third sentence details the issue with the original design: "It was soon discovered that the pattern and high contrast caused issues for people with vision disabilities." Finally, the fourth sentence concludes, "The flag was redesigned, as shown on the right, to be more accessible to all."

In the bottom left corner, attribution "@MisaOnWheels" is written in a smaller, white, bold font.

July is Disability Pride Month. Here is an explanation of why we celebrate. 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚 #DisabilityPrideMonth
A colorful educational infographic asks, “Why Do We Celebrate Disability Pride?” The title appears in large, bold, dark gray letters at the top of a white rounded rectangle centered on a dark gray background. Behind the white panel are diagonal stripes in the colors of the Disability Pride flag: green, light blue, white, yellow, and muted red.

Four rounded colored boxes list the reasons:

Green box: “In commemoration of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990.”

Light blue box: “To honor the experiences, achievements, and history of the disabled community.”

Yellow box: “To achieve solidarity through community visibility and shared social identity.”

Muted red box: “To challenge ableist stereotypes, reframing disability as part of human diversity rather than tragedy.”

In the bottom-left corner of the graphic, outside the white panel, is the creator’s handle, @MisaOnWheels, in bold white text.

Disability pride is not power being proud of our disabilities or the fact that we are disabled; disability pride is about celebrating our wonderful community. 🖤❤️💛🤍🩵💚
A digital illustration on a soft pink background celebrates Disability Pride. At the top, five disabled people are depicted in a joyful, inclusive scene. Two people use wheelchairs: one woman with curly hair sits in a wheelchair holding a bouquet of yellow flowers, while another larger-bodied person in a colorful outfit sits in a wheelchair with their arms raised in celebration as flower petals float around them. Standing nearby are a blonde woman in a blue floral dress, a wheelchair user wearing a purple shirt with rainbow-colored stripes, and a person with short pink hair wearing a shirt with a heart symbol. The group appears happy, confident, and connected.

Large black text in the center reads:

“DISABILITY PRIDE”

Below, smaller text states:

“IS NOT ABOUT BEING PROUD OF OUR DISABILITIES.”

Further down, purple text reads:

“DISABILITY PRIDE IS BEING PROUD OF THE AMAZING DISABLED COMMUNITY AND ALL WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND CONTINUE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.”

At the bottom is the handle:

A square graphic with a bright pink background celebrates Disability Pride Month. Large cream-colored text at the top reads, “July is Disability Pride Month.” Below, yellow text asks, “What do the colors in the flag represent?”

In the center is an illustration of a laptop displaying the Disability Pride Flag. The flag features five diagonal stripes running from the upper left to the lower right across a dark charcoal-gray background. Each stripe is labeled with the disability community it represents:

Red stripe: “physical disabilities”
Gold/yellow stripe: “cognitive and intellectual disabilities”
White stripe: “non-visible and undiagnosed disabilities”
Blue stripe: “psychiatric disabilities”
Green stripe: “sensory disabilities”

The dark gray background is labeled “mourning,” representing remembrance of disabled people who have experienced discrimination, violence, neglect, or loss of life.

Along the right edge of the image, the creator’s handle appears vertically in white text: “@MisaOnWheels.”

“Work requirements” without changes to a system that makes it impossible for many disabled people to work in the first place is just eugenics. If you want more disabled people to be able to work, offer remote work, make public transportation more accessible, and actually hire disabled employees.
