Running disABLEd guy has been one of the most rewarding (and time-consuming!) parts of my life. For over a decade, I’ve written about disability rights, accessibility, and inclusion — not because I have to, but because I need to. Because someone has to. Because if we don’t tell our stories, policies will be written without us.
But here’s the truth: advocacy takes energy. And time. And tools.
That’s why I’ve launched a Ko-fi page to help keep this blog going.

Why I Need Your Help
Behind every article on this blog — whether it’s about policy rollbacks, accessibility tech, or digital discrimination — are hours of unpaid work:
- 🕵️♂️ Researching laws and current events
- 🧠 Writing and editing long-form content
- 🎨 Designing graphics and accessible layouts
- 💬 Engaging on social media to raise awareness
Most of the time, I’m doing all of this solo — while living with a disability myself. I don’t run ads. I don’t have corporate sponsors. I’m just someone trying to make a difference in a world that often pushes disabled voices to the margins.
What Your Support Will Help With
Your donations go directly toward:
- 🔧 Blog hosting and design tools
- 💻 Software that helps me create accessible content
- ⏰ Buying back time so I can publish more articles, more often
- 🎙️ Future podcast or video content on accessibility (yes — coming soon!)
- 🧾 Maybe even guest post stipends for other disabled creators
Every $3 helps. A monthly tip helps even more. And even just sharing the link helps amplify this work.
Why Ko-fi?
Ko-fi is a tip jar platform where supporters can donate one-time or recurring contributions (no fees taken from me like other platforms!). You can think of it like buying me a virtual coffee — except that coffee fuels digital activism, accessible content, and community education.
No ads. No paywalls. Just direct support for independent disability advocacy.
💬 What You Get in Return
Besides my eternal gratitude? Supporters get:
- 👀 Early access to new blog posts
- 📬 Exclusive updates about upcoming projects
- 💬 Shoutouts and thank-yous on social media
- 🧩 The knowledge that you’re helping sustain a platform that speaks up for and with disabled people
Let’s Keep This Going — Together
