🚨Recap: A VERY disappointing outcome. The @NIMHD committee admitted to NOT include anyone with a disclosed disability, yet made a significant decision on behalf of our community - they did not recommend the 'health disparity designation' be given to people with disabilities.

This week has been among the most horrifying in recent American legal history. Some of us can feel swallowed up by that horror. Incapacitated by it. And I think that, for a little while, it’s okay. If this sounds like you, here’s a bit from #CripNegativity that might be useful.
