The amazing Mike Mort has turned my wheelie mermaid into art! 

He has a shop where he depicts characters as the updated accessibility logo [LINK] and sells these designs as shirts, tanks, hoodies, notebooks, phone/laptop cases, mugs, and prints!

If you wanna catch a sweet deal on a shirt (just 14$ for a limited time) or any of the other “Annie Elainey: Rolling Mermaid” merch: CLICK HERE

To check out all of Mike Mort’s other designs (and hopefully buying something, you’d be supporting a disabled artist while showing your support for accessibility!): CLICK HERE

My Response to the Attack on Disabled Lives at Tsukui Lily Garden [CC]

TW: content involves ableism and violence

“This Tuesday, July 26th 2016… 19 disabled people were murdered and 26 injured in a mass knife attack in their sleep because the attacker thought “it was pointless for people with severe disabilities to keep on living”…

The silence on this matter right now is what is most upsetting to me. When it comes to activism and the fight for equality, for a lot of people disability is an afterthought or just not on the radar at all, and this needs to change.”
