so i have gotten...a LOT of new followers this week. if you& #39;re new, hi hello! if you& #39;re not new, i& #39;ve decided to make a new intro thread bc some shit has changed. 1/6
my name is lauren and i& #39;m a 25 year old disabled college student, about to start a master& #39;s in education program specializing in diversity and equity in education! 2/6
i have a rare genetic disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta, which causes my body to produce defective collagen (a protein found in almost every system of the body). i& #39;ve broken bones over 200 times, have respiratory issues, and deal with chronic pain. 3/6
i& #39;m a full time power wheelchair user and am (clearly) very passionate about disability and disability rights. i have conservative family on my facebook so this is where i come to advocate and be snarky to assholes sincei can& #39;t do it there. 4/6
i& #39;m also pansexual, so i do a lot of advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, both by itself and where it intersects with the disability community. 5/6
if you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to respond to this thread or shoot me a DM! 6/6
