My grandpa used a wheelchair in the 1970s due to post-polio, and nothing in public was accessible to him. I use a wheelchair today due to MS, and
I can get into most places, and Zoom when I'm at home. The difference is the ADA.
The Americans With Disabilities Act was signed 36 years ago, and it's a reason July is Disability Pride Month.
It's a fact: Disability affects us all at some point in our lives — through age, disease, accident or because it affects a loved one.
What affects people with disabilities, affects us all. What helps people with disabilities, helps us all. Be an ally, be an advocate.

My neuro says one reason smoothies cool so well is bc when you drink, the cold travels alongside your spinal column, helping relieve inflammation.
Well, plus it tastes good, so you wanna drink more! Here's a fancy one — I'm sure you can leave out an ingredient or two and it's still yummy —
Mango, Pineapple, & Peach Chia Seed Smoothie
2½ cups unsweetened refrigerated coconut milk beverage
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1 cup frozen sliced peaches
¾ cup frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
⅓ cup chopped pitted Medjool dates (about 3 medium dates)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Directions: Combine 2½ cups coconut milk beverage, 1 cup mango, 1 cup peaches, ¾ cup pineapple, ½ cup yogurt, ⅓ cup dates, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1½ teaspoons ginger and 1 teaspoon turmeric in a blender; process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, about 2 minutes. Divide between 2 large glasses.

I'd tell my younger self to relax and trust a little more. There are allies and angels everywhere if you'll only let them in.

Mark's Walking Wheelchair: Inventor Jake Laser mounted a wheelchair on a walking robot for his father, engineering prof. and former marathoner Mark Laser. At first I smelled BS, but take a look — it's amazing!
