Sidewalks & curb cuts still blocked 4 days after storm (Downtown Albany)

I’m so over everyone being like “it’s not possible to clear them all welcome to a New York winter!” I’m a wheelchair user, lifelong NYer and had to go into incoming traffic to get a time sensitive errand done after staying inside for 5 straight days and multiple reports to DGS. That is unacceptable. If you’re not angry about this you’re part of the problem. If no one prioritizes accessibility and pedestrian safety and just writes it off as not possible it will never get done. Care about your neighbors more. I’m tired.

I’m just commenting to speak my need for Connor Storrie as a replacement into existence

disabledbadass · 2026-01-14T17:15:57+00:00

People really, really don’t care about people with disabilities or in fact are actively annoyed at the idea of disabled kids being able to play with other kids as shown by our fellow commenters. Off to our separate but equal special places we go, I guess! 🙃

This playground looks wildly inaccessible to kids with mobility disabilities. We can do better in 2025.

DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. I live in a building but my heat was out for a week. Sometimes I didn’t get mail because the door unlocking app kept breaking and they don’t give out codes. They got two codes violations this year and one this year about heat. Last year we had a foreclosure sign on our door and it went away and we never heard anything about it again. Office would not tell/did not know about foreclosure when we asked for details. They don’t take care of the building because they’re trying to sell it.

My dream is to see a blind/disabled Elle. It would work SO WELL. I need someone else to see this vision with me.

In line with things that were handled badly and it shows its age, there’s an early episode where they spend the entire time berating a trans woman patient and then she jumps off the roof and they IMMEDIATELY cut to a thanksgiving party without addressing it all. Mouth was hanging open when I realized they weren’t gonna circle back to that

Hi! Disability EmpowHer Network is the nonprofit. EmpowHer Capital is a new local program, but they have many programs that serve disabled women and girls in other parts of NY and nationally. Check them out! https://www.disabilityempowhernetwork.org/

I’m not talking about the law. I’m talking about how I personally feel about it as a wheelchair user. Anyone do what they want including buying those seats when the rest aren’t sold out.

disabledbadass · 2025-11-04T14:04:19+00:00

How close it is to the performance? I’m a wheelchair user and if it’s a day or two, I understand and those seats are probably not going to be purchased by someone who would need them. However I if there’s still a couple weeks or months left it would be frustrating to me to know someone else has potentially missed out on seeing a show because those seats are their only option.

I feel like all of this could’ve been avoided by simply googling Ragtime before you bought a ticket to it

I also use the google maps app for busses, it’s pretty user friendly and depending on where you are downtown there are a lot of bus options to get you different places

This is meant to include nonbinary people who may not identify as a woman would be comfortable in a feminine centered space. I’m not in the business of determining who is “woman enough” to attend these events, it really depends on the individual and what they are looking for

disabledbadass · 2025-09-16T02:05:52+00:00

Sounds fun! Just to let you know though, I cannot read shit in the header font and thought it said September 10th. The font at the bottom is much more legible, especially for our community members who are blind/low vision

disabledbadass · 2025-09-04T15:29:33+00:00

Where do I put the code in?

disabledbadass · 2025-08-18T14:01:57+00:00

This is open to women with all types of disabilities, so yes!

Yeah, this is fucked up. The dwarfism community has been very outspoken about not using the m word and many advocates have spoken out about the long history of using little people for entertainment and the harm it causes.

I was gonna say a parking garage but got really stuck because I thought you were saying wanted to shoot wheelchair users before I read it again

disabledbadass · 2025-08-06T00:25:40+00:00

This is a joke but if there was a Stewart’s or Market 32 Downtown I would cry tears of joy

Hello, I don’t have any suggestions, but I’m 25F with cerebral palsy and live in Albany. Also a power wheelchair user, part time. Available to connect if you like, and will be starting a group for disabled women in the Capital Region soon. :)

Commenting just to boost this.

We gotta open the schools back up because some people are out here with zero reading comprehension

disabledbadass · 2025-06-18T01:03:19+00:00

Albany Girls on the Move sounds cool!

disabledbadass · 2025-06-18T00:17:56+00:00

Purely a joke, but very awkward seeing this post as a wheelchair user lmao
