VidCon 2018 - Gender, Chronic Illness, Disability [CC]

I was invited to be a Featured Creator at VidCon in Anaheim (6/20-6/23) again this year and had an amazing time getting to be among community and share space with you all and share dialogue on topics I am very passionate about! Here is a scrappily put together video of what happened on my VidCon trip! Check out panels, collabs, and links to who appeared in this video below!

“The history was preserved AND they made it accessible. Who knew?!” Thank you for making this video, Annie!! ❤️ It made me feel included in the queer and disabled panels/people/community when I don’t often get to see things like them 🙂

[phreyah]

Love this video! ❤ The scrapbooky vibe with the voiceover really helped me focus on the video the whole way through! Your wheeliequeer gang is the best. So happy that this community exists. ❤

I love your video, ! It told your vidcon experience very well. I can’t wait to see more of the talks. Also it amazing that their were multiple talks about disability at vidcon!

[starpasta]

OMG, I got so excited when I got a notification about your upload! This was so great, and it was so fun to see you hang out with all your friends. :) Also, omg, those puppies were so freaking adorable my ovaries couldn't handle it.

I loved this style of telling about your vidcon experience. It didn't feel scrappy imo, it felt simple and easy to understand.. and less cluttered than a lot of other vidcon vids I've encountered (though that was not supposed to bring those other vids/people down, I just like this style a ton.) You're amazing at what you do and I love hearing you talk, so I'm glad that tidbits of the panels were up there. ❤

Your the best so glad to be a Segarra! Your outlook and positivity and how you live life like me make it better for me to get through my days! Nothing but love and support!

This was *such* a beautiful video. I was *so* sad to miss Vidcon (I've been in & out of hospitals + the obvious financial stress from that). I've watched you and Chase and Steph and Ash and Jessica for SO LONG, and I don't know if I would even still be here if it weren't for the quality content that you all create. It brings me hope. I literally wept day after day while vidcon was happening because I only live a couple hours away, but it felt like light years.

Thank you for sharing this so that I could get an authentic peek into some of the parts I was most sad to miss; queer content, queer solidarity, and disability advocacy. Thank you for being there and representing so many of us who don't have a loud enough voice to be heard. And thank you for giving us a glimpse of your very worthwhile commentary on some seriously pressing issues.

I look forward to seeing you thrive! I know this is silly b/c you might not even read this, but if you have the spoons/interest to follow a (muuuuch) smaller queer, non-binary disability advocate, my Instagram handle is @chronicallyteddy & a follow from you would mean the world. Currently I do captions on all of my stories and I'm (slowly - due to cognitive dysfunction) adding image descriptions to all of my posts. You have taught me so much about accessibility & any input from you on how I could better contribute to my community would absolutely mean the world to me.

Sorry this was a novel. Thank you for everything. 🌈💪💕🙌

“Lesbian squad of dreams” 😂😂🤣 it’s so true, I love it.
Also what you said about doctor bias is so true. My doctor refuses to believe that I’m hurting and to just do yoga. I hurt too much to do yoga!! See the problem Sheryl?! Lol

[lindseysloan]

Doctors are humans and have feelings. They get upset like normal people do and deserve respect. I feel that there are more good doctors than bad.

[RoganShannon]

I spotted me! I really liked the style of this video, I need to get on editing my VidCon stuff 😂

[jeristovall]

I’m so glad to see you had such and great time with so many beautiful people! It’s awesome!! 💙💜

[youngchronicpain]

Very cool. I am sure you had to sleep for a week after all of that, it looked amazing but super draining.

[Jahleesu]

Great video! So jealous of the puppy pen! I want puppies too! 💖

[AndreaLausell]

Was the chipotle eaten in the hot tub, because that is possibly the dopest (is that a word?... well it is now) thing I've ever heard?
