    "Disabled since birth, I never thought I would reach 50 this March...Celebrate my birthday by making a donation to erase medical debt in the United States. No amount is too small...No one should have to go in debt or crowdfund for healthcare."

To my left is Bert, a brown tabby who is has an enigmatic expression, and to my right is Ernie, an orange cat who is giving a blissfuly blank expression. Confetti is in the background in bright colors. All three of us are wearing birthday party hats in the shape of cones.

    This is a line that I'll probably repeat often on politics, media and culture this year: "Inclusion doesn’t mean sh*t unless we’re being paid, respected, and taken seriously" My essay in @TeenVogue: teenvogue.com/story/disabled… #RepresentationMatters

    The #ADA is not a 'disabled bill' it is a civil rights bill. A disability rights bill. Period. #CripTheVote #HandsOffMyADA #HR620
