Above are just ten topics and about 35 posts of over 2,490 this year this is not all I have written about and these few won’t be my last unfortunately there are still assholes who think we the disabled don’t matter and women and children don’t have rights. So welcome to 2014 above is just the highlights of last year.

I am a disabled woman who through no fault of my own has wheels under my ass. I rely on the decency and common sense of local, state and federal goverments, as well as the retail community to abide by the disabled access laws and provide adequate ramps, disabled toilets, and not use them as store rooms or broom closets. This blog exists to find the offenders and out them, inform them, and report them if necessary and shame them into doing the right thing when all else fails.
