During the last round of trollgate, people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. So I’d just like to commemorate the occasion with these 3 selfies...

Umm, hello, hi, hey!!

Welcome, new followers!!! This tweet is certainly doing well and I thank you for stopping by! I’m a freelance writer covering relationships, disabilities and pop culture. You can subscribe to my blog if you’re so inclined... https://www.melissablakeblog.com/ 

And just for fun, here are 5 super random facts about me...

I’m incredibly awkward. I mean, my blog is called So About What I Said, which explains it all.

I can recite all 50 states in alphabetical order. How’s that for a pick-up line? See, I told you I’m awkward AF...

My dream is to be a co-host on @TheView!! @MeghanMcCain

I also want to be the first disabled @BacheloretteABC because it’s shameful that there hasn’t been one yet!! I volunteer as tribute!!

I’m obsessed with bagels — plain, extra cream cheese!!

One more thing: If any editors are looking for pitches/essays on what it’s like to be a disabled woman writer on the internet, I’d *love* to write about this!! DMs are open, so feel free to slide into ‘em!!!

Here’s a bit more background from earlier this month... https://www.twitter.com/melissablake/status/1159368294442381315

Umm, wow!!! @NyleDiMarco just liked this tweet!!! So cool! Hi, Nyle...thanks!!
