I love an end of year list and Best Dressed is probably my favourite.

So far it’s been a bummer to see how disabled fashion lovers have been left off the most important and influential lists.

Who’s got sick style? Tag your favourite disabled fashion inspo so we can all check them out. Bonus points for tagging yourself 😍

Stay on your toes, Trippers. 🎄 This season wasn’t built for balance. 🥂 🧀

If you have MS you are not too young to have osteoporosis 😬

Treatment with steroids and other factors put us at higher risk of developing dusty bones which can make falls catastrophic ☠️

Get your bones scanned, Trippers. Maybe eat some cheese this Christmas. 🎄 🧀

We got stuck in the accessible elevator then had to walk to the back alley to access the definitely haunted service elevator. (Which had a rickety too-steep ramp and a handful of unsafe steps but at this point I was unwilling to waste a full face of makeup and go home. I may have also been motivated by the promise of wine 🍷)

I powered thru. I had help.

Once inside, I sipped Merlot and snacked on canapés while elevator technicians were called to fix the problem. 😮‍💨

When we were ready to leave we were assured things had been tested and were working but THEN we got trapped again! 😳

We hauled ourselves back to the haunted elevator and waited for an uber in the freezing cold alley. 🥶

Just another day of doing what we do to keep showing up in the world.

Last year I went to a Xmas concert and was a crank

Last year I went to a Xmas concert and was a cranky b before the show even started bc I had insisted on walking from the cab to my seat. 🚕
The crowd was jostling me, the seats were too far for my tired legs. I was overwhelmed, exhausted and emotional. 😭

Last night I went to a concert at the same venue but we took Optimus Prime, my convertible Rollator/transport chair.

Instead of walking, I got a push and was a much nicer person because of it. We even had time for a glass of champagne before the show and I didn’t have to worry about my balance bc I was already sitting down 🥂 😉

December is a marathon. Do whatever you need to show up and maybe even enjoy yourself. Accepting help is not the same as resignation.
