The document sets out plans to strengthen the impact of the United Nations in the face of mounting global challenges and an increasingly complicated financial situationTASS

I rarely wear dresses out in public. I wore one, today. Photos from Mom ๐
#PeopleWithDisabilities #AsianMastodon
#Ableist bullies/rude jerks are why I don't wear dresses out in public much. I will wear what I want, when I have enough spoons to deal with public bullies. It always happens because I'm visibly disabled & even more so, when I wear anything that shows my dual long leg braces. I didn't go to public beaches for 30 years because people would point out all my surgical scars & question me about my atrophied legs & other super disrespectful crap. I couldn't deal with that - constantly.
I tried going to public beaches to relax. Not to be targeted as abnormal & be treated awfully. I only go to secluded spots now.
One thing I got a lot of, from ignorant public who have said outright rude & blatant #ableist shit like some of the below, for decades ๐
- You're too pretty to be disabled. *mega WTAF*
- You move like you're not disabled at all. *๐*
- You're not like other disabled people. *We're not a monolith*
- How much of your body is paralyzed? *Only misogynistic men have asked this before getting to know me*
- I can help you our with everything! *When I'm capable of taking care of things & will only ask for external help when truly needed.
- This is more of an ableist action more than words -> when they try doing things to help me that I never asked for, doesn't really help me & they get angry when I ask them to please ask me, before trying to help me because sometimes help from people who don't communicate well with me - ends up costing me more time/energy to deal with/resolve/diffuse.
I want & need help sometimes. Please don't think you know how better you can help me - when you've not invested any genuine time to try to know me better, first.
I actually want to do a secretly filmed #SocialExperiment offline to show folks how differently I'm treated when hiding my visible physical disabilities & how I'm treated when public can see the metal cages/leg braces that I have to wear on daily basis. I know from my own life/personal experiences that I was treated VERY differently - depending on if people could see my leg braces or not.

One man died under suspicious circumstances when arriving on Agathonisi
This morning at first light, Aegean Boat Report was contacted by a group of people who needed assistance after having arrived on the Greek island of Agathonisi.
Several of the people who contacted us from the group, reported that they had been chased towards land by a vessel from the Greek coast guard, and said "they ran us over with their boat"
What really happened is atm not clear, did the boat hit the rocks on the way to shore, and people fell overboard, did people jumped from the boat in an desperate effort to get quickly to land, or did the Greek coast guard actually drive over them?
What we know is that a man was hit by a propeller in the lower back, resulting in a severe injury that eventually killed him, whose propeller, coast guard or refugee speedboat, we canโt say for sure, but the circumstances should be investigated by an independent party, and definitely not the coast guard.
We later learned that the man had been left behind on the shore, while the rest of the group moved away from the arriving area to higher ground. We received gruesome pictures of his injuries, with the description โhe was barely breathing, but now the coast guard has taken him awayโ.

Thereโs no other feeling like rocking up to a lake, nailing one of the first shots you attempt, looking at in on the back of the camera, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that this will be todayโs keeper no matter how many others you take, packing up and heading to a coffee shop.
