Two sisters are putting a hilarious spin on the crap people with disabilities have to put up with in 2016. Jessica and Lianna Oddi, two illustrators who use wheelchairs, created a blog called The Disabled Life to show what it's actually like to deal with everyday situations (including Tinder) when you have a disability.

"To be honest, it really started as a way to share our personal experiences in a funny way," Jessica says, "But as it continues to grow, our underlying goal is to help make disabilities a common topic. Its 2017; we can all talk about diversity, share our thoughts, and treat everyone like human beings!" Check out some of the powerful comics below:

This was really interesting and I'm glad you shared this because I think more people should know about what it's like to live with disabilities :) Hope you're having a wonderful day!

tagging @HalliwellSister (sorry for bothering) to shift this thread to the Disability Community :)

@windflowers I liked it a lot. It's all common sense, but a lot of people tend to think everything is a joke when it really isn't. We all have our own issues/problems and w/e we choose to do to deal with them is up to us. No reason to get made fun of.
