* the usual error

* What it’s like for Kyeli to go to a restaurant that claims to be accessible but isn’t really

* What it’s like for Kyeli to go to a movie theater with wheelchair seating

* What it’s like for Kyeli to wait in a waiting room

* My picture of Kyeli making the ridiculous sink gesture came out unusably blurry, sorry.

* How to be a good ally:

* Be flexible, because what’s an inconvenience for you could be someone else’s basic need.

* Ask if you can help and how you can help.

* Have compassion, and try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes.

* “I used to be abled, and I was privileged as fuck.” -Kyeli
