Exercising first thing in the morning? 🙅🏻‍♀️🥵 Exercising my RIGHT to call our elected officials and ask them to fight back against this administration’s harmful executive orders over my morning coffee 👍🏼☕️😤

Who are you rooting for tonight? As a long time Swiftie, I just hope Taylor has a good time tonight 🥰 BUT, I’ll probably be cheering when the Eagles score 😜🦅 #superbowl #Swiftie #theerastour

Since we are living out the plot of Cabaret, here is my official audition to play Sally Bowles 😍 It’s been a bad week. My coping tools are humor and music. And while this is somewhat a joke… I would also very much LOVE to play Sally Bowles someday 😜 #Cabaret #Broadway #TheatreKid

And while I miss my people in the UK, I have truly never been happier than I am and have been for the last six months. I've been to hell and made it back again, but I finally like the person I'm becoming. Call it my second coming. My resurrection, if you will. I’m so proud of myself 🎶 /3 END

She immediately told me to do whatever was best for me, but she had always pushed me to move back to the States. Having built not only a vibrant community in London, but also my career from the ground up, I didn't know how to start over in EVERY facet of my life. But that's just what I did. /2

2 years ago today, my life imploded. The first thing I did after my ex asked me for a divorce was call my mom. The second thing I did was call my manager and ask her if I should stay in the UK or move back home to the US. /1

I don’t know who needs to hear this… But disabled people and DEI did NOT cause the horrific plane crash at DCA. My heart goes out to all of the people affected. I am both so sorry for your loss and that our president has decided to use a tragedy such as this to further his political agenda.

I am the same person no matter which mobility aid I am using on any given day. Our fear around disability MUST end in 2025 and the only way that’s going to happen is through education and awareness. SHARE THIS POST and FOLLOW ME for more disability representation in your daily scroll 🖤

Yet still, when I go out in my wheelchair vs going out with my prosthetic, I am treated like two completely different people. When I roll down the street in my chair, I am pitied and often feared. But when I strut down the street with my prosthetic, I am admired and often approached by strangers

✨STILL DISABLED✨ Disability may become more palatable for you due to the aesthetics of the “able gaze,” but ! am just as disabled when I am in my wheelchair as I am when I am using my prosthetic. Disability is not a LOOK. It is a form of identity.

Louis and Zayn’s reunion last night has set my inner carrot on FIRE 🔥 🥕 My entire feed is filled with One Direction pictures and references again. I’m playing Take Me Home on repeat. Here’s a picture I took back at Soldier Field during the Where We Are Tour. It feels like 2014 and I’m THRILLED 😍

For all my fellow Taylor and Travis stans out there, I just want to be clear… that we are also obsessed with them, right? 😍

Graduated valedictorian of my high school class… but at what cost 🤭🎓😅 Disabled and chronically ill kids, like myself, are told so often that we are worth less than non disabled people. So, it’s quite common for us to develop a perfectionist mindset. Anyone else struggle with this growing up? 😬

SWIFTIE NEWS ALERT 🚨 Both the Eagles and the Chiefs won their respective games this weekend so there is a chance for a MEGA Swiftie Super Bowl. I’m talking “eagles tshirt hanging from the door” x “he just comes running over to me” mashup potential 😍

Hyper independent disabled baddie here ✌🏼 Disabled people, and especially disabled women, are used to over compensating and getting things done on their own. Sometimes it’s about proving our worth, other times it’s about control. And for people like me, it’s some ✨fun✨ combination of the two 🤗

Moral of the story… STOP asking disabled people, “what happened?” in 2025. I promise there are so many more interesting things about us than our potential trauma 👍🏼

Things more interesting about me than HOW I became disabled • I didn’t try a taco until I was 22 • I’ve been trying to get divorced for 2 years • I am good at rock climbing • The liquid ink red lipstick from @maybellinenyc.bsky.social in shade Pioneer is my favorite year round accessory /1

Now, obviously, there are cases of overlap… like mine! My name is Jessica Jordan Ping and I was born with a rare disease called CHILD Syndrome. I identify as BOTH disabled and visibly different. Understanding and using correct terminology is an important step in becoming a better ally 🖤

Are the terms disabled and visibly different interchangeable? The short answer is NO. Not everyone with a disability has a visible difference. Invisible disabilities exist and can be just as serious as visible ones. Also, not everyone with a visible difference will identify as being disabled.

Sharing a video or post to your story is different, as it links directly back to the OG content, ensuring all views, engagement, and money goes to the creator. In fact, sharing content to your story is APPRECIATED and ENCOURAGED because it helps to boost a creator’s content in the algorithm

Jessica Jordan Ping - The Rolling Explorer @therollingexplorer.bsky.social · 09/01/2025
In case you didn’t know… Downloading and reposting a creator’s content to your feed without express written permission, even if you tag us in the caption, is STEALING. It takes views, engagement, and, most importantly, money out of the OG creator’s pocket.

Restaurants that make you put a credit card down in order to make a reservation are a disabled and chronically ill person’s nightmare.

How long before politics came up at your Thanksgiving parties? 👀 I’ll go first: 13 minutes 🤭 Within that amount of time I had already called MAGA a cult AND explained how Wicked was extremely relevant to our current political climate 💚💗🖤

But also, I expressed genuine concern for MY BODY and explained how the IUD not only is protecting me from a very much unwanted pregnancy, but also acts as a treatment for my PCOS and was met with immediate hostility. Weird take, idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ /4 (final)

But I feel like that reaction was uncalled for. Not only does it make me question her as a physician for not understanding the serious repercussions of the upcoming administration and the discourse around women’s bodies happening right now. /3

I explained both reasonings to my PCP and she immediately became exasperated and loudly said, “the sky is not falling, my dear! Nothing is going to change!” Now, to her credit, she did still give me the referral…/2

I have the mirena IUD and have been having horrific hormonal problems for the last several months. This coupled with the threat of birth control being on the chopping block in the coming years inspired me to go to the doctor and see if I could replace my device a little early. /1
