July is Disability Pride Month! Disability Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate the disability community. July was selected as Disability Pride Month because the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law in July 33 years ago. #DisabilityPrideMonth #ADA #PwD

Love this comic by @ananyapaints about disability and ecoableism. I have salicylate intolerance so can't use paper straws because they make mouth swell! I use silicone but hard to sanitize and expensive. #ecoableism #disability #environmentalism #Ableism greenpeace.org.uk/news/disab…
