Thanks Eddie Bauer for sharing information about the Access Pass! Do you have yours?

"The only disability in life is a bad attitude" "with grit and determination, you can overcome anything" "don't let fear hold you back" and other such motivational sayings are deeply ableist and can be very harmful.

Disability language 101: non-disabled vs able-bodied

You've probably seen it: the memes about the overprepared hiker, or the kid who hiked a mountain in flip flops, the jokes about 'if you drive there is it even worth going' or 'if you don't leave the viewpoint are you even outdoors'. Its one of the things I talk to people about the most often, and I can honestly say I have never received a simple "I get it. I'm sorry." People generally just get defensive, saying they're just trying to be funny and I shouldn't be so sensitive.
