i was talkin with some europeans about their healthcare and i realized like, even if i had the means to immigrate, i most likely would not be allowed to in most countries as a single person because I am disabled. This is another major aspect of ableism I don't see talked about often, the way immigration systems across the globe are designed to keep disabled people (who would be 'burdens' on the welfare system) out.

I often feel trapped. I know I’m privileged to be here, but the politics of the recent state and country…I wish I could at least have the opportunity to leave.

I feel this in my soul

I can just imagine having her secured to a whipping bench to where she would completely immobilized, and her strapping would be over when I was finished, and the pain would stop... I promise...
