This morning, reminiscing with a friend about visiting Yellowstone — suddenly it brought to mind a teen openly staring across an outdoor café at me--
in my mobility scooter, just gawking and gawking... That was 30 years ago! But this morning I could see him clear as day, like it was yesterday.
I was a grown man and he was a kid, and I paid him no heed. And I swear I have not thought of him at all over the years. Yet he popped up this morning. Is that freaking crazy?!
I know I've tried consoling or empowering friends who have been hurt by others' ableism, by urging that we not to let the ugly folks, the know-nothings, have power over us.
But *that's* what ableism does.

My friend Pam met a mother and 3yo daughter at the MS Walk. The girl ended up holding her hand most of the way.
The Walks and other events are empowering and a great way to find community, resources & support. I've met some of my best friends at MS Society events.

Meet "Uncle Mike"! Er, not the guy -- the guy is me. Uncle Mike is my drinkholder. I have #MS-impaired hands.
My flesh-and-blood Uncle Mike made two of these for me. Guess he got tired of holding my drink! :)
Cheers!

Your Voice Matters: What supports do you need to continue your career?
Fill out this survey to help shape the MS Society's new employment-supports program. What do you need as a person with MS? Surveys due 5/22/26.
Because MS is often diagnosed during prime working years, this work is designed to better understand how MS affects employment, financial stability, and career progression for individuals under age 45. Insights gathered through the survey will directly inform future programming grounded in lived experience and aligned with the Society’s mission.

TRUE or FALSE: Helping others often comes at the expense of taking care of myself.
When we take care and prioritize the health and well-being of those around us, it can sometimes mean we have less time or energy to spend on ourselves. (P.S. You’re worth it, though!)

True: My own self-care is often put on the back burner.
False: I make sure to also take care of myself.
