In episode 244 of Disability After Dark, I unpack popular self-care activities like mani/pedis, drinking tea, staying hydrated, getting organized and others to consider how many of these self-care activities are inaccessible to disabled people and why that is. I also bemoan how “standing up straight” is a self-care activity and more! Enjoy!
