I’m disabled.
And no, I don’t owe you optimism.
What I offer is honesty, resilience, and sometimes rage.
Because this system was built to leave us behind.

OMG, so true!
Those with acute AND chronic pain can become invisible to family & friends — having the only people who ask how they’re feeling or doing be the doctors and nurses they visit. It feels cold.
Good & kind people do this - they may love the person in pain but empathetic “asking” goes away.

"Silence can be incredibly hurtful’: How to talk to someone about their #ChronicIllness
While it may feel impolite to ask after someone’s ill-health, for those living with chronic conditions never being asked can feel ruder still."

Goddamn, I wish folks with #disabilities weren’t ALWAYS left off these lists of vulnerables.
Please, everyone, try harder. There are at least 60 million of us — far larger than any other group.

Yup. Americans can be broadly categorized into two massive groups; the #Disabled and those yet to be Disabled.
You might be elderly when it happens but it will happen to you or a person dear to you.
That’s #DisabilityTruth and it’s why #DisabilityJustice should matter to EVERYONE.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.
