Happy Disability Pride Month from your favorite progressive organization! Each July, we honor the struggles and contributions of people with disabilities by sharing inspirational quotes that are completely inaccessible to the people we’re celebrating.
“The only disability in life is a bad attitude.” — Scott Hamilton
A timeless classic. Best shared with stylized red lettering on a brown background, so everyone can appreciate our commitment to low color contrast. Don’t complain! That’s, you know, cynical.
“We rise to great heights by a winding staircase of small steps.” — Francis Bacon
We love this quote so much, we framed it over the only route to the staff restroom.
“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” — Francis of Assisi
By posting every quote as an image without alt text or image descriptions, we make sure people who use screen readers are doing the impossible every day.
“The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” — Albert Camus
From an inspirational story about ramps.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” — Vivian Greene
Disability pride, at its core, is about adapting to whatever preventable inconvenience we’ve built into our website this week. And if you’re stuck outside in the rain because our accessible entrance is broken again, perhaps this quote will help you embrace the experience. You’re an inspiration!
Happy Disability Pride Month! Please enjoy this celebration — and prolonging — of your resilience.
