[ IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

An image announcing the cancellation of Basically Wonderful’s October 20 Disability Is Not a Bad Word peer support gathering.

The original autumn-themed flyer features a burnt-orange background, hanging red and orange leaves, a white starburst shape, a large orange heart, and a small illustrated hedgehog surrounded by fall leaves.

A large, bright pink diagonal banner stretches across the flyer, displaying the word “Cancelled” in oversized pale pink letters. The banner covers most of the original event information.

The original gathering was scheduled for October 20, from 6:30–8:00 PM Eastern, with the topic “Seasons — Life, Change & Climate,” facilitated by Z and El.

The Instagram handle Basically Wonderful appears in white near the bottom-left of the image.

Changing leaves, changing weather, changing lives. 🍂🦔

Fall has a funny way of reminding us that change is everywhere—and that navigating it can be beautiful, complicated, exhausting, exciting, or all of those things at once.

For this Disability (Is Not a Bad Word) gathering, we’re coming together to talk about Seasons — Life, Change & Climate and what shifting seasons can mean for disabled bodies, minds, routines, relationships, and lives.

🎃 October 20 | 6:30–8:00 PM ET
🍂 Topic: Seasons — Life, Change & Climate
🧡 Facilitators: Z & El
💻 Virtual via Zoom

Come bundled up, stretched out, camera on or off, chatty or quiet. There’s room for however you need to arrive.

Across the upper portion, large orange lettering outlined in black reads: “DISABILITY (IS NOT A BAD WORD)”.
