Instead of #DisabilityPrideMonth, how about #DisabilityPrecarityMonth where we organize and fight like hell?
Pride is complicated and flattens out a lot of the joy, love, and care that is intertwined with pain, systemic ableism, and trauma

I really like this quote as I think it speaks well to the complex emotions and practicalities of what it means to be disabled in society today.
Pride, while it means well, can be difficult to feel when you live in a world that tells you you’re wrong is so many ways and so many times.
We deserve to recognise these feelings and the hardships of the world we are faced with. To feel our feelings, whatever they may be without any additional guilt.
