It is Disability Pride Month. So remember that there is no one "look" to being disabled, disabilities are not always visible. And DISABLED PEOPLE DESERVE TO EXIST IN PUBLIC AND BE SUPPORTED. We will not allow a return to "Ugly Laws" and mass institutionalization.

Cousin Bessie seemed to live forever. Her grandfather was born in 1787. Maybe she was one of those Mississippi vampires depicted in “Sinners.” She had no real topics of conversation. Every statement a complaint—nobody ever suffered as she did. People ran in the other direction when they saw her.
