Starting out on here

I guess my question to myself is are sociopaths attracted to me because I studied them or do I study them because they are attracted to me?  If it’s one thing I know, I am a sociopath magnet.  No psychopaths, yet, that I know of, but I don’t keep on eye on my ex’s. lol

A few of my favourite, unfortunately true, quotes about Epilepsy. I deal with each of these most days and the last three days have been a constant flow of them all along side the sheer exhaustion, aching limbs, tiredness and frustration. . . . . . #epilepsysucks #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness #absenceseizure #myocolonicseizures #generalisedtonicclonic #grandmalseizure #constantseizures #sofedup #sotired (at Wales)

No hate. No fear. Immigrants are welcome here. I'm supposed to be posting happy things about bikes. But I can't. Today I wanted to cry because as I sat thinking about Donnie's orders to ban immigrants, I was reminded of the inscription on the Statue of Liberty. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door." I have been questioned for standing up for these refugees. They say, "What's the problem with a program to vet people against terrorism?" To that I say this: Research the number of terrorist activities committed by refugees on our soil. There are more terrorists in the form of US-born teens with guns mowing down their own high schools than there have ever been in the form of Muslim refugees performing terrorist acts in our population. In fact, many of those terrorist activities were carried out by US citizens. The current vetting system is rigorous, and it works. Two years of background checks. They also say, "Well if you are so keen on welcoming refugees, why don't you house them and feed them?" To those folks I say this: If you are not willing to help people when they need it most, you best ask your God for mercy. This is not the time to look the other way. And for the religious folks, for crying out loud Jesus was a refugee!!!! #NoBan #wethepeople #womensmarch #greencard #America #ladyliberty #immigration #refugeeswelcome #resist #nofear #immigrantsarewelcomehere #SoFedUp #timeforachange #GodForgiveAmerica

Disabled Activists in College From the 1960s - 1970s

College was the starting point for many disabled activists. Julie Cochran Rogers is a part of a legacy of disability activists that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disabled activists all over the United States forced their way into Universities. In cases where multiple disabled students were allowed to attend a sense of a common identity was often forme, they supported each other, and helped one another develop their politics. Disabled student activists had varying tactics and levels of radicalness. Regardless, disabled students across the country made major improvements to their universities.

Disabled students such as, Fred Fay, Mary Lou Breslin, Kitty Cone, and Sharon Mistler fought for disability rights at the University of Illinois in the 1960s (Patterson, 475-476). The University of Illinois was a clear choice for Fray because there were already programs for disabled students (Patterson, 475). At The University of Illinois, Timothy Nugent developed the Rehabilitation Education Services Program there in 1948 and in 1949 Delta Sigma Omicron (DSO) was formed in 1949 as a fraternity for all disabled students (Patterson, 475-476). The disabled students at the University of Illinois formed a community there and the politics of the disabled students there became radical (Patterson, 476). The DSO formed an architectural barriers committed in 1964. Members, including fay, “...evaluated every classroom on campus for accessibility and compiled lists of necessary curb ramps” (Patterson, 476). Frustrated by the Universities slow response, Fay compared disabled students inability to access buildings to business owners ability to refuse to serve African American people (Patterson, 476-477). Eventually, “Nugent and a small group of students with disabilities under cover of night took sledgehammers to ‘high priority’ curbs to force the university to rebuild them with ramps” (Patterson, 477). Their tactics, though unorthodox, brought about necessary changes for disabled students.

After they refused to admit him to the university because he was disabled, Edward Roberts took out a  lawsuit against University of California Berkeley and won in 1962 (Patterson, 478). Roberts lived in Berkley’s Cowell Memorial Hospital because Berkley’s dorms could not accommodate him (Patterson, 478). By 1966 seven other disabled students joined him at Cowell Memorial Hospital (Patterson, 478). Due to their segregation from other students they came together as a group and formed the Rolling Quads (Patterson, 478-479). The Rolling Quads fought to make Berkley more accessible to disabled students (Patterson, 479). They also provided support to each other (Nielsen, 163). Their activism centered around funding for personal care assistance and housing for disabled students outside of Cowell Memorial Hospital (Patterson, 479), but they also supported each other emotionally and fostered a sense of disability pride in each other (Nielsen, 163). The Rolling Quads eventually formed the Disabled Students Program (DSP) at Berkeley in 1969. “ Roberts and others across the nation developed independent-living centers organized on the principle of self-determination, consumer control, and deinstitutionalization” (Nielsen, 163). The Disabled Students Program helped form the Committee for the Removal of Architectural Barriers (CRAB) in 1970 (Patterson, 479). Together they developed radical politics surrounding disability that helped change their university and eventually the entire nation.

Judith Heumann was one of the first wheelchair users to go to Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus (LIU) (Patterson, 481). Out of Heumann’s work came the Handicapped Integration Movement (HIM), Student Organization for Every Disability United for Progress (SOFEDUP) People United in Support of the Handicapped (PUSH) (Patterson, 482). Their activism was similar to Cochran's activism, as it didn’t violently push against administration and instead fought to work with administration (Patterson, 483). Heumann became the director of Berkeley’s Center for Independent Living (Nielsen, 163). Heumann's activism and advocacy continued throughout her live, much like Cochran Rodger’s.

Like Cochran Rogers, their activism continued beyond college and they went on to make changes for their communities and the entire nation. Together they even went on to change laws that affected disabled people across the country. Disabled activists were prepared for their future activism through their political development and their experiences with organizing at their respective universities. Often, disabled college activists continued their activism and advocacy for much of their lives.

What didn't I ever do so fucking wrong that, any man I talk to had to treat me like some sort of sexual fucking object. My feeling don't matter. My issues don't matter. It'd be a fucking miracle if anything other than my vagina mattered.
