Aide médicale à mourir et sclérose en plaques

Quand on m’a diagnostiqué la sclérose en plaques (SP), je me suis demandé si un jour cette maladie m’enlèverait le goût de vivre. Mais c’est

We like to think our anger at slow walkers is a harmless pet peeve, a joke, a Hugh Grant rant 🤬

But in a culture that equates busyness with worth, moving slowly often reads as failure.
Slowness is perceived as inconveniencing others, taking up too much time, too much space.

As someone who lives in a body that can’t always keep up, this article isn’t about etiquette. It’s about what we signal when we decide who belongs in public spaces, and who doesn’t.

In 2025 I became a published author 🥹

At the start of the year I begged my disabled-ass body to show up for me throughout this year of travel and book events knowing that I was asking too much but also that it was a once in a lifetime kind of deal.

And here we are! Thank you, body! 🖤 You complained a lot but we got it done and it was amazing.

Thank you, husband, for carrying my shit and pushing me when I was too tired to walk, and for making sure I always had coffee and a pastry no matter which city I woke up in.

One million thank yous to everyone who showed up for me this year. I can think of at least 6 of you who got on a plane for me 🖤 that’s true love 🙏

Thank you, Trippers, for reading my book, for coming to my launch and other events, for telling your friends, for leaving reviews, for sharing your own stories with me.

Wishing you all peace and lots of main character energy as we roll into 2026.

Love, Ardra 😘

In a year when there were a number of garbage fires a lot of us would like to forget, I want to remember the truly magical experience of my first book (Fallosophy: My Trip Through Life with MS) being published 🙏

I got to meet and share a stage with so many incredible authors on my book tour and if you made an impression on me, well, your book is now living on my bookshelf but also in miniature form on my tree! 🎄

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 😍
