Photo Of The Day ... And A Thought

Young woman with blonde hair, smiling, sitting in a blue manual wheelchair, taking a "selfie"

I usually don’t like captions with disability photos, but this is a good one:

"MY WHEELCHAIR AND I ARE FEELING HELLA CUTE TODAY"

"My wheelchair and I... " This is the kind of thing that makes nonsense out of the idea that wheelchairs, canes, walkers, and the like are bad things ... that everyone who uses them are "confined", and want nothing more than to escape from them and discard them one day. It's so much more complicated, subtle, and varied a relationship than that.
