An Affordable Standing Desk Upgrade That Can Make Work More Accessible (Especially With Disability)

If you live with a disability—physical, mental, or both—your workspace isn’t just “nice to have.” It can be the difference between getting things done comfortably… or ending the day in pain, burnout, or total exhaustion.

One of the best upgrades I’ve made (and recommend a lot) is switching to a height-adjustable standing desk. Being able to change positions throughout the day can help with:

  • Chronic pain (less time locked into one posture)
  • Back/neck strain from sitting too long
  • Joint stiffness and circulation issues
  • Fatigue management (micro-changes = less flare-up risk)
  • ADHD / anxiety / brain fog (movement can help you reset focus)

Building a Blog While Disabled: Blogger vs WordPress, Accessibility Tips, and Real Ways to Make Money (Even With Limited Energy)

Living with a disability—physical, mental, or both—can change the way you move through the world. It can also change the way you work, create, and earn. The truth is: traditional jobs aren’t always flexible, accessible, or realistic when your body or brain has unpredictable limits. That’s exactly why blogging (and building an online brand) can be such a powerful option.

A blog can be built around your strengths, your schedule, your lived experience, and your interests. You can write when you’re able, rest when you need to, and still grow something meaningful over time. You can advocate, teach, entertain, review, share resources, and build community—while also creating income streams that don’t require you to “push through” every day.

Why Supporting disABLEd guy Matters — And How You Help Keep Disability Advocacy Alive

The internet is full of noise.

Every day, thousands of articles are published. Opinions are shared. Debates flare up and fade away. Headlines cycle endlessly. But in the middle of all that noise, something important often gets lost:

Disabled voices.

Not the polished corporate diversity statements.
Not the temporary social media campaigns.
Not the “inspirational” stories filtered through non-disabled perspectives.

Real voices.
Lived experiences.
Honest conversations about access, dignity, and equity.

That’s why disABLEd guy exists.

And that’s why your support matters more than you might realize.

Why Accessibility Isn’t a “Special Feature” — It’s Basic Respect

There’s a phrase that quietly undermines inclusion in digital spaces:

“We added accessibility as a feature.”

Accessibility is not a feature.

It’s not an upgrade.
It’s not an add-on.
It’s not something you tack on after the “real” work is done.

Accessibility is the foundation.

And when we treat it as optional, we reveal something uncomfortable about how society views disabled people.
