Went to Pride yesterday, it was nice, had fun. Was a bit weird as no one close to me could come with me this year, but I didn't want to miss it either... It's always nice to see folks like you, sharing experiences. However, it also felt very isolating due to a lack of accessibility... -🌙

Like, the music was so loud it was a genuine struggle to not get overwhelmed and to prevent a meltdown. The abundance of cigarettes when you have a pulmonary disability is also awful. For the music, been told by some that it's the point of it, that it's to be loud and obnoxious, to be visible. -🌙

But I'm sorry, you don't really make folks visible when you end up making invisible the part of the community with neurodivergencies that have a hard time with overstimulation. Some Prides have implemented a quiet section, but every time I take a look at it it's just.. empty... or very confusing. -🌙
