We never talk about how sometimes disabled people have to fetishize themselves in order to access any forms of intimacy, and we should be a whole lot more.

I got my 3rd Covid-19 booster shot yesterday. I am very grateful that I had access to it. I also thank the indigenous health center in Toronto for bringing the booster to me and other disabled folks.

Andrew's Pro Crip Tip 604d

Educating non-disabled people isn't easy. It isn't always fun. But, when you get to give someone that knowledge of your lived experience; knowledge that will inform how they understand disability issues for the rest of their life, it's worth it.

I have been thinking about why I changed my name to Drew initially. I was trying to be someone else and run from being Andrew. I wanted to create this character of sorts. In reality that isn't me at all, really. Andrew is who I am, and I won't run from myself anymore.

Pro Crip Tip 352.7a

Any disabled person at any time can experience the need to change their disability identifiers. One day they could be disabled, but tomorrow they could be person with a disability. It's okay to have more than one bit of language to describe your disability.

I shifted my name back to Andrew, the more I tried Drew on the more I realized it didn't work for me, if I'm honest. It just didn't really fit. So, Andrew it is. Nice to re-meet you.

to LGBTQ men out there: okay, you're hot, but are you kind? think about that for a second. Our community equates hotness to goodness far too much, and that has to change.

I have crippling anxiety about how I look. Not only am I a wheelchair user which, ironically renders me both invisible and WAY TOO VISIBLE all at once, oral hygiene can be challenging to do properly and I have pretty noticeable psoriasis on my face and scalp. I worry I'm ugly.

I have been thinking a lot about death and disability lately. I have been thinking about whether or not I have done enough before I go. Will I go earlier because of disability? Will I get to do all the things I want to? We need to talk about death and disability more than we do.

Drew's Daily Disability Thought:

Disabled people deserve great second dates. We deserve great second dates because our first dates are so full of internal and external ableism, that we usually never get to date number two. Disabled people deserve second dates.

The announcement today that the Ontario Government will spend 3.7 million dollars on transportation to get disabled people and seniors to Covid-19 vaccinations seems counterintuitive. Shouldn't they be using those funds for in home vaccinations of those populations?

Gay men are out here calling themselves pup, otters, bears, wolves and other animals as they search for community. I'm over here like, "I'm a f*cking unicorn, bi***es. Now, rub on my horn."

When I first heard of the Boulder shootings, I kept thinking how would physically disabled people get to safety in that situation. It breaks my heart to know that there were people with chronic illness and disability who died, and we'll never know.

a workplace comedy like the office, but with disabled workers. Oh, wait, that wouldn't work cuz y'all think disabled people can't work. That would also assume that they made accessible accommodations. Blergh. I can dream though.

I am getting my first Covid-19 vaccination on April 1, 2021 at 2:45 p.m. As a disabled person who has been housebound now for almost 18 months, and without intimate contact for 14 months, this is a big deal. I'm rather emotional about it.

I am a white man. I am lonely. Sometimes angry. Sometimes frustrated at things. I have days where that's really, really hard. On bad days like that, I order my favourite food or put on a TV show that will make me laugh. What I don't do is go and murder 8 people.

Looking for non-disabled male p**n performers to be on an episode of Disability After Dark Podcast to explore s*x and disability, and to explore ableism in the LGBTQ+ community. Pass it on!

Pro Crip Tip 511a

Just a reminder that disabled people aren’t needy for wanting attention. If you were often ignored or overlooked you’d seem “needy” too.
