Up in West Fargo at the Veterans Memorial Arena for the Freedom Resource Center event. Nice to branch out into new communities and offer my services to those who need it.

This week is Disability Voting Rights Week!

I believe we can only have a true democracy if it is accessible to everyone.

That said, if you feel like you can’t vote because you’re facing a barrier, such as transportation or lack of understanding the process, please reach out directly. My team and I believe your voice should be heard and your opinions matter. We will do whatever we can to help make it possible for you to cast your vote.

Meet Jimothy, the unofficial mascot of OTSSDA. 🦝

Jimothy reminds us that disabilities come in all shapes, sizes, and species. Everyone deserves dignity, support, and accommodations—even if they occasionally dig through your trash.

Unfortunately, the forest is outside our service area, so we can’t help Jimothy apply for benefits…

But if you’re a human who needs help navigating Social Security Disability, that’s exactly what we do.

(We still accept snacks on Jimothy’s behalf.)

Jimothy is the disability icon we need and deserve this year. 😆

Jimothy is a raccoon in Seattle who recently became internet famous for his disability. Jimothy likely has a congenital spinal formation that shortened his neck and body. He is a round little raccoon with long legs living the best trash panda life, and in this dumpster of a year we think he is an icon.

(This post is for a little levity and joy. Disability is natural even among our animal kin!)

ID: a photo of Jimothy the raccoon next to a tree on a background of the disability pride flag. Text around the photo reads disability icon of the year.
