So tired.

From The Most Valuable Thing I Can Teach My Kid Is How to Be Lazy by Elliot Kukla.

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: We’re tired by unprocessed grief and untended-to illness and depression. We’re tired of wildfires becoming a fact of life in the West, of floods and hurricanes hitting the South and East. We’re really tired of this unending pandemic. Most of all, we are exhausted by trying to keep going as if everything were fine. Alice Wong Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire

I saw a post earlier about “tops who become medically-necessitated bottoms due to chronic illness” and I just wanna say, beloveds, there are so many ways things can be adapted. #happysagittariusseason

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: But rest should not be a luxury; our time belongs to us and is not inherently a commodity. Reclaiming our time is an act of sovereignty over our lives, deserved by everyone. Alice Wong Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire

Oof. Feeling the first part hard.

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: I tell myself I need to shut up and stop sharing, and yet talking out loud is my only intimacy and connection with the world, and sometimes a connection to someone who is similarly threatened, not aided by the saviors of the system.

Completely different worlds.

From republics of desire disabled lineages of longing by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: Last weekend, I hung out on a disabled Zoom for hours, listening to other sick and disabled folks sobbing three minutes at a time about how they hadn’t been touched for years, how totally abandoned we felt by the abled and non-high risk—those people who live in a completely different world and left us behind in ours.

There were so many possibilities for a better world and then they were cruelly and deliberately snatched away from us.

From How I'm Navigating Play
Parties as a Disabled, Immunocompromised Kinkster by Jade T. Perry

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: In 2020, it seemed possible that societal norms were shifting—health and wellness services went online, folks began working from home, gatherings got smaller, and masks were normalized. Yet as the years passed, as airline companies demanded that flights stay full, as real estate companies and employers across fields insisted folks come back into the offices they’d left, as the CDC shifted its guidelines (if you’re sick, stay home for two weeks; no, five days, no, three days…), as government stipends dried up, as mask mandates were dropped, as COVID strains mutated, as RSV and monkeypox entered the picture, as flu season rolled back around, as US governmental bodies held televised proceedings with unmasked officials, the message became clear: COVID safety is no longer a priority.

Work will never love you back and we all deserve rest. We all deserve to enjoy our lives. (And no one needs to be a billionaire to do that.)

From Elliot Kukla’s essay The Most Valuable Thing I Can Teach My Kid Is How to Be Lazy

#CurrentlyReading #DisabilityIntimacy #AliceWong #ElliotKukla #BookSky
Black text on white background. Transcribed text: This view has endured in American culture. Hundreds of years later, working to the point of self-harm to build the boss’s wealth is still lauded as a “good work ethic” in America, and the word lazy is still connected to racism and injustice. It’s poor, unhoused, young, Black, brown, mentally ill, fat, and chronically sick people who are most often accused of sloth. We rarely hear about lazy billionaires, no matter how much of their fortune is inherited. Alice Wong Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire
