pickCarly is an amazing person, and I‘ve been following her on Instagram for a while. She‘s so articulate and eloquent, it was plain to see that she‘s lived thru so many painful situations, both mentally and physically, and has solid advice to give.
If you‘re not familiar with disability pride and activism, I suggest you start looking into it, and this is a great starting point. Thanks, Carly.

#LitsyFamily, I have another incredibly wonderful long-time close friend of mine who has joined us 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Please give a warm welcome to @NYzTRiNiTY 🤗! She‘s a #NYC lady again after having been in Oklahoma for awhile.
I‘d tag all 6,000+ of you amazing Littens, but my fingers would revolt 🙈, so if I could just tag a few of you, could we get a #WelcomeWagon going? Thank you! 😁

#LitsyFamily! I‘m so happy right now 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕺!
One of my all-time best friends has now joined Litsy!
Please say hi to @AmyRebecca and give her a follow ☺️. She‘s so awesome!
She‘s a fellow hardcore bibliophile who is in Florida and is looking for more positive and bookish friends, and you all definitely fit this bill.
Welcome Train please? If I tagged all 6,500 of you wonderful Littens, I‘d be up all night. 🙈

pickThis book gave me so much food for thought. It‘s given me more perspective on the type of fiction I want to write, and how to write disability and image differences with sensitivity.
This book opens up the conversation about ableism, which is long overdue. I highly recommended!
Also, I noticed that the author, @CarlyFindlay has joined Litsy, so let‘s put her on the #LitsyWelcomeWagon !
pickAnother great read! 👏🏻 I appreciated the honesty in Carly‘s book. I loved that she made me uncomfortable, as odd as that sounds. She writes in such an engaging & entertaining way, that when she tells it like it is & points out the privileges that non-disabled people have, you bloody well listen! Carly provides ideas & advice on how to be an ally to the disabled & visible differences community, along with ways to make some real changes. 💪🏻
In answer to this question: yes. My partner was offered a disability ‘job‘, and they were extremely interested in using his previous experience and training and paying him a pittance for his trouble. Here‘s a news flash for employers: disabled people like/want/need money just as much as anyone else!
Don‘t assume ‘they‘ll just be grateful to have a job.‘
Wisdom from Carly and Stella.
An excellent message from this great author today: ‘please don‘t forget your disabled sisters when celebrating.‘ Happy International Women‘s Day, everyone ♥️♥️♥️
I‘m learning SO MUCH from this book! What a gift & what an excellent read so far.
