    The other day I got carded at the liquor store. As I was getting out my ID, my Blockbuster card fell out and the guy said, while laughing uncontrollably, “never mind” #HappyTuesday #AmysArmy #Joke #Laugh

    As someone who lives full time in a wheelchair as a paraplegic, @JasmineForUS owes us an apology. Not an excuse as the “what she meant” by @GregAbbott_TX and his “hot wheels”. No excuse for saying that to a person in a wheelchair!! @KariLake @realDonaldTrump

    The juxtaposition of Jasmine Crockett, making fun of a man in a wheelchair while standing in front of a backdrop professing “human rights” is a perfect snapshot of leftism in 2025

    4 yes ago my life changed forever. I have learned so much on these 4 yrs that I wouldn’t have known b4. I still run and walk in my dreams, wake up to a brief “crap, it’s real” then move on. My life is as full and maybe even more beautiful then before 6/6/14.

    Today my angel, Kuma went to Rainbow Bridge. ⁣ ⁣ He was the best puppy ever. He was my running partner, hiking navigator, ICU sitter, pillow, Kleenex and my heart. ⁣ ⁣ He was only 9. I feel like he was a soul mate,… instagram.com/p/B6louGIJyut/…

    Today I smiled and said hello to a lady who was having a really bad day. Did the same to a man who had no home. I think about how my accident has changed me for the better, and this is one way. Don’t let a tragedy make you a kinder person..learn from me. Treat everyone equal.

    Apparently I upset my building manager with the ADA elevator hot mess. I think it's funny when men raise their voices at me. I'm like "bring it..I've been yelled at by some of the BEST coaches in the world...you don't hold a candle to them." #funny #ADA #humanrights
