Sean Kirst: For Valentine’s Day, a quiet, but monumental, love story

autisticadvocacy:

“Their marriage, which will reach 25 years in August, is a quiet and monumental symbol of advances in civil rights for the disabled.”

This is beautiful. Disabled people shouldn’t have to choose between sharing their lives with someone and receiving supports they need, and this is a really good example of what is possible for DD and ID people if they are given the freedom to both live and love without being penalised for it. For those who don’t realise it, many disabled people who want to share their life with someone in the US have to choose between love and their benefits and supports that enable them to survive.

🌈 Rainbow Run 2018! I think I was literally the last person to finish, but finish I did. Sixteen minutes slower than last year, but I’m sixteen kilos heavier than I was then, so that’s fair enough. I know I certainly did more walking, less running. The hill of doom nearly killed me, but I damn well did it, all three laps.
