You bet I got to try a robotic #exoskeleton - way before the Paris Olympics too! I tried #Keeogo in Taipei at CTOT in Taipei. For the first time in 17 years, I jogged, squatted & climbed stairs with no effort at all. #DisabilityPrideMonth #MySeveralWorlds #DisabilityInclusion #KeepOnGoing

If you minimize a person/make them feel bad for talking about their illness or claim that's all they talk about, they'll never forget it moving forward. Think about about how much it takes to open up before you shame someone. Carrie, MySeveralWorlds.com #DisabilityPrideMonth #MySeveralWorlds

"When you become disabled & unable to work, you mourn independence. Most disabled people want to work. They don't want to beg for meagre handouts that keep them in legislated poverty. They don't want to be sick. Better social supports are needed." @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social #DisabilityPrideMonth

I asked for a caseworker to help me in Feb. By June I was holding 12 points of care by myself across GP, rheum, iron and B12 infusions, crisis counselling, PT, therapy, among other things. It is too damn much to handle while being so sick. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityInclusion #MySeveralWorlds

"I think #DisabilityJustice would be easier if abled people understood that being disabled is a mixture of all three of 1. I can't do that without negative consequences. 2. I can't do that unless I have support for it. 3. I can't do that." visorforavisor #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityInclusion

#Repatriaton After returning to Canada I had to rebuild more than healthcare. I had to learn how Canadian systems worked & who could help. It surprised me that many people helped carry it. 🔗 www.myseveralworlds.com/2026/06/25/r... #TheDisabilityGap #MySeveralWorlds #RebuildingMyLife #PatientAdvocacy

This #DisabilityPrideMonth, I want people to understand that disabled women are often judged for what others can see while the most dangerous parts of our lives remain invisible. The damage caused by being shamed for surviving in a sick body never leaves. #DisabilityAwareness

"I'm not a weeper. I live with incredible pain every day. I go through unthinkable situations that should break me. They don't. Today, I cried. I'm frightened of the DWP and what they have the power to do to me. They destroyed me last time." @ChasingGlimmers #MySeveralWorlds #DisabilityPrideMonth

New doc: You're articulate about your condition. Me: Communicating with docs who treat me as an unreliable witness to my own condition is a second language. It's hard to feign ignorance to protect an ego so big it could get me killed. @jakesidwell.bsky.social #MySeveralWorlds #ChronicTruths
