It is up and down and all around. You can have a great day one day and be absolutely dragging the next. Someone having a good day doesn't mean they are faking the bad ones. It just means that every day is different.25 Jul 2026 16:32 +0000at://did:plc:so5rc5gsbtwguiswkvoztslt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mric6kfsj52nhttps://bsky.app/profile/badattitudespod.bsky.social/post/3mrb63pu3kc2fDon't forget: We're doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) for our 200th episode.

Our inherent value as human beings is our worth.

An 18-year-old has a 20 percent chance of becoming disabled by retirement age, and that likelihood increases over time. If you're not disabled now, you're simply not disabled YET.

The terminology is so othering. The things disabled people need — things like access and opportunity — aren't special. They're just different.
